Kirstie Pomilio will be hosting an event in consciousness at Schwartz Living Market this coming Friday, April 4, 2014, in the evening to complete her Master's Degree! Pre-registration is required. If you are interested in volunteering to help Kirstie, go to: https://www.facebook.com/events/503872476389532/

From Kirstie: I will be holding an experiential workshop that will serve as my graduate research project.

My list of interests is so multidisciplinary that I decided a phenomenological study would best suit inquiry on consciousness. I would like to someday create and teach art therapy workshops like this to assist in spiritual identity discovery and development.

I have a Bachelors in Visual Arts as well as Psychology, and am fascinated with shamanism and trance states of consciousness, It is my mission to bring forth healing to others through art, mysticism and nourishment

*Currently I am submitting to the IRB and awaiting approval from my advisors and the board at Saybrook,.. but I would like to get a group of potential volunteers beforehand to get the word out.

The first Friday of April, 2014, I will be leading a workshop/study at Schwartz Living Market, where participants will be in 1 of two groups: drummers or painters. We will have multiple twenty-minute drumming sessions in which the artists interpret the music into a small painting.

Directly proceeding the study there will be some time to socialize and eat delicious creations from Jonathan's Foods and The Enchanted Garden juice and smoothie bar!


Research is always voluntary. Please invite others and share, I would ideally like to have 20-30 participants.


*There is free parking behind the building.

*You may keep each painting that you create during the workshop, however it will be held immediately after the event for analysis.
*All art supplies will be provided as well as FREE vegan/vegetarian/gFree foods after.

*PLEASE ARRIVE BY 4:45 AT THE LATEST AS THE STUDY BEGINS AND THE DOORS WILL BE LOCKED AT 5PM!

Saturday, March 22, 2014, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM: Tasso Spanos, C.M.P.T. on Low Back Pain Relief. Join Us!

For the first time in Pittsburgh, PA, Tasso Spanos, B.S., M.S. , C.M.P.T., certified Myofascial Trigger Point Release Therapist will present a three hour workshop on How to Relieve or Prevent Most Common Forms of Low Back Pain

Join us on Saturday, March 22, 2014 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Schwartz Living Market! 
Cost for this amazing workshop is only $30.00 in advance or $35.00/person at the door!!!

This is a myofascial trigger point course offered as an alternative to surgical intervention, drugs or aggressive therapy. There are 9 different muscles that can contribute to various locations of pain in the lower back and sciatica pain. The focus will be on traumatized spots in the muscles called trigger points, which refer to pain or weakness to other parts of the body, thereby confusing clinicians who are not aware of their existence or complexity. Participants will be taught where the trigger points are located and how to treat and stretch them. Handouts will be provided.

Tasso Spanos has 32 years of experience as a pain specialist. He earned his B.S, in Biology from Bucknell University and did his master's work at the University of North Carolina. He is a member of the American Academy of Pain Management, the American Society of Pain Educators, and the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists. He has studied with Dr. Hans Kraus, Bonnie Prudden, Dr. David Simonds, and Dr. Janet Travell, White House Physician to President Kennedy. His many presentations include the American Academy of Pain Management, Cleveland Clinic, and many groups of MD's, DD's, RB's, PT's, OT's and massage therapists.

Mr. Spanos is the founder of the Pittsburgh School of Pain Management and was the director of the Center for Pain Treatment. He created the Feeling Better exercise video, contributed to the book, Clinical Mastery in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain, and has presented frequently to the  Pittsburgh Live Today show on SBSTV-KDKA Pittsburgh. He has led his stretch class, Feeling Better, since 1982 at Chataqua Institute and at St. Stephans Church in Sewickley, PA, Osher classes at Carnegie Mellon University, and Grass Roots Festival of Music and Dance.
