In his memoir, Into the Magic Shop, Dr. Doty uses his personal experience and cutting-edge science to reveal how we can change our lives and the lives of our children by changing our brains and our hearts. Lunches are available for pre-order.
Lecture tickets available online, and at the door.

Dr. Sarita Shrestha is a classically trained Ayurveda physician from Kathmandu, Nepal with more than 25 years of clinical experience in hospitals, clinics, and rural health camps. She has received numerous prestigious awards for outstanding service and is renowned as Nepal’s first Ayurvedic OB/GYN, specializing in Ayurvedic women’s healthcare. She teaches in international institutes and hospitals, presents Ayurveda workshops worldwide and is fast becoming recognized as the “Mother” of Ayurveda in the West. She has been teaching in the U.S. since 2000.

In Ayurveda, the woman is considered to be “Shakti”; the Mother and Source of creation, in whose lap all of civilization is cradled. When we speak about “women’s health” we understand that this encompasses many different issues during the different stages of her life. Every woman goes through a series of profound changes during her lifetime.

Whatever the situation, women must always take into consideration their constitutional needs regarding diet, lifestyle and rest. Ayurveda provides a rich and thorough body of herbal medicinal knowledge as a powerful tool to achieve this balance, when needed.  It is said that when we restore balance, we are happy in our minds, healthy in our bodies and satisfied in our lives!

During her brief stay in Dallas, Dr. Sarita Shrestha is conducting a private women’s wellness workshop on May 27 and May 28 and there are limited openings for private consultations.  For more information and any further inquiries, please contact her student, Sapna Punjabi-Gupta at sapna@naivedhya.com or call at 214-616-8592.

The Crow Collection’s free Breathe: Veterans Artist Residency Program gives twelve local veterans the opportunity to work with interdisciplinary visual artist Longhui Zhang at the museum over the course of two days (July 8 & July 9).

Chinese artist, Longhui Zhang has been trained in painting, drawing, multimedia animation, and web design, and creates works in the diverse media of painting, sculpture, installation, performance and video art. Zhang’s work explores personal and cultural identity and has been exhibited in Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, Denton, Dallas and Fort Worth. To learn more about the artist, visit his website.

Through the program, veterans will explore works of art on view at the museum, learn about traditional Chinese ink and landscape paintings, and create an ink painting with a contemporary twist that will be on view in August at the Crow Collection. Breathe will also partner with Simply Aware to provide Qigong instruction during these workshops. Both the practice of Chinese ink painting and Qigong create opportunities for participants to examine and realign energies in their lives. To celebrate their participation, veterans who attend the workshops will receive a custom Challenge Coin at the closing reception of the program on Saturday, August 26th.
