"Teresa Pelliccio underwent a significant mind-shift in 2004 after reading The Power of Now and began a meditation practice. Shortly thereafter, she began experiencing conscious, otherworldly “trips” during her sleep. To understand and process these experiences, she turned to art. Her art forms are born from personal associations and blend spirituality, the metaphysical, intuition, self-empowerment and rebellion with femininity, whimsy and impulse. It is her wish that her work might inspire you to consider what may lie beyond the physical and encourage you to explore it. And, to love and support yourself fully as you do. 
Hilka Irvin is a Minnesota native who made Eureka Springs her home in 2014. A self-taught artist, she works in various mediums—oils, acrylics, and watercolor—each reflective of her mindset. In addition to visual art, she writes poetry and short stories to fulfill her creative soul. Her work is often described as eclectic, as she creates instinctively rather than adhering to expectations. Hilka thrives on stepping outside her comfort zone and expresses herself through art and writing that continues to evolve.
RIGDON IRVIN has always thought of art as a history of humankind. His art is very much influenced by the fact that he is a child of the 70’s. He was introduced to all kinds of music, art and various aspects of the counter culture at an early age, by older siblings, who were coming of age during that time. He loves color and watching it explode on the canvas, incorporating the architectural lines of the mid century, as well as the atomic themes of the space age. Being an abstract artist allows him the freedom to create art from “an anything goes” mindset. "

Join Cocoon Yoga Lab for an energizing, yet mindful yoga flow. This twice-monthly class offers a balanced mix of gentle challenge and restorative movement, perfect for those who want to cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner calm.

Throughout the session, we’ll move through a variety of postures, guided by breath and mindful movement, building both physical endurance and mental focus. This practice is beginner-friendly and open to yogis of all levels. Options will be provided to either soften or intensify your practice, allowing you to meet your body where it’s at.

While the pace will help you work up a light glisten, this isn’t an intense sweat session—making it the perfect way to unwind and connect with your body.

Practiced at room temperature, this class is a welcoming, feel-good way to move your body, quiet the mind, and leave feeling centered.

Tickets are $10 ($5 for members), see upcoming event dates and reserve your spot online, or speak with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335 today.

Please bring a yoga mat to practice on, along with any props to help make you more comfortable, such as a block or small bolster. We also recommend you wear comfortable layers you can easily stretch and move in.‌‌‌

The Arkansas Folklife Festival Organization will host a community engagement event to celebrate and explore Northwest Arkansas’ cultural landscape. The evening will center on a community conversation about who and what constitute the living traditions of music, dance, craft, foodways, and outdoor recreation in Northwest Arkansas.

The event will take place Thursday, October 23, at 6 p.m. at BC’s Blues Shack & Juke Joint inside the Pryor Center at 1 East Center Street in Fayetteville. There will be catered snacks from local businesses, a chance for participants to win a $200 prepaid debit card, and a live performance by Arkansas musician Carolina Mendoza. The event is free and open to the public.

The purpose of the event is to gather community input about what defines the culture of Northwest Arkansas ahead of next year’s Arkansas Folklife Festival and to hear how Northwest Arkansans themselves want their region to be represented.

Coming in summer 2026, the Arkansas Folklife Festival is a statewide celebration of the people, places, and living traditions that shape our shared cultural heritage. Rooted in the belief that everyone has a story worth telling, the festival highlights the everyday artistry, traditions, and lived experiences of communities across Arkansas.

“Northwest Arkansas is a unique cultureshed within our state. This community’s input is so valuable in shaping next year’s festival and keeping it true to the traditions that are alive and well in this region. Please come and share what enriches life here,” says Rachel Reynolds, Arkansas Folklife Festival founder and director.

Carolina Mendoza is a singer and songwriter from Mountain View, Arkansas, who has been mentored by generations of traditional folk music performers in her short time. Her nickname, “Voice of the Mountain,” was bestowed on her for her rich, pure tones. Carolina’s signature sound combines her traditional Mexican roots with deep influences of country, bluegrass, Nordic folk, and old-time Ozark music.
