The exhibit follows the story of a creative named "Transcendent Femme" on her quest towards self discovery through the enchanted forest of "Transcendence", a spirit of change and evolution that has called upon the main character. Throughout the month participants are invited to explore the same forest as our main character with hopes of discovering new pathways of understanding the self through interactive rooms in the exhibit. In addition to the offers of the exhibit there will be 20 different workshops and events focusing on mind, body, spirit connection, facilitated all by amazing local practitioners, such as Ashley Cornelious from Poetry 719, Dee Smith from OneBody Ent, Jennaya Colons from Highroots Wellness and more. This exhibit isn't only a transformative arts experience, but one that's roots are deeply entrenched within the COS community it was birthed out of. Witness Colorado Springs at its finest at "Transcendent Femme" Grand Opening this October 3rd from 4 to 8pm at the Meanwhile Block.
