It’s almost PNW Mermaid Weekend! 🧜🧜♀️🧜♂️Starting Friday, we have the Sirens Ball with an all original Murder Mystery on the Willamette River that will be tons of spooky fun, the Portlandia mermaid parade on Saturday at the waterfront, and then the Pacific Northwest Mermaid Confluence on Sunday! Three full days of mermaid everything!
I’m excited to be teaching my MermaidCore master class once again here this year. This one is a paid class so follow the QR code to the link or link in bio and pre-register. I’m also cohosting a free Sacred Space Stewardship chat with Mermaid Stephanie on Sunday at the Confluence! Come sea us!
MermaidCore
Get ready to take a deep dive, or just get your toes wet, in this informative and experiential playshop of stretches, poses, and self care tips and tricks to get you mermaid swim ready. Drawing from her 30 year background in bodywork, massage therapy, bellydance, Pilates, and yoga, Bhria will lead the class through a simple breath and Neurovascular Release warmup, core strengthening and lengthening exercises, and a gentle cool down to get your body ready to mermaid! Stretching pre and post swim is so helpful and often overlooked or forgotten. Discover simple techniques to help you create a mermaid stretching ritual. Accessible to all levels. Must be able to get down on the floor on a yoga mat and back up. Some things can be adapted for chair users.
Sacred Space Stewardship Chat
As merfolk, we have a unique connection to the natural environments we cherish. Join this interactive panel discussion exploring how social media, tourism, and recreation impact fragile ecosystems. Together we’ll discuss responsible location sharing, litter, graffiti, invasive species, parking, reef-safe sun protection, cleanup efforts, and other ways we can help preserve these special places for future generations. Merfolk from all regions are welcome to share ideas and experiences
