    Exploration of Archetypes in a Transitioning World

    Cottonwood AZ (March 25, 2014) – For those concerned with world changes and who are also interested in finding their own role in the bigger picture, dynamic performance artist and celebrated mask maker Pash Galbavy announces “Exploration of Archetypes in a Transitioning World”. This is an interactive performance event taking place Apr. 4 at 4PM in Studio B at the Old Town Center for the Arts in Cottonwood.

    20140325_pashGalbavy invites participants to a thought provoking experience of exploring various archetypes which relate to the individual and the changing world. “As a species, we’re facing monumental problems with the environment, oceans, weather, land, plants, animals, and people,” Galbavy states. “I believe there is a macro-micro connection. What are the habits of mind, being, and action that are part of the problems as well as the solutions?”

    In this event, Galbavy will improvise with a number of her own masks to deepen understanding of archetypal characters within all people, and the ways they may impact the world today. Afterwards, Galbavy will be joined by her husband and co-facilitator, Marty Landa, and the two will invite participants to interact and share their own experiences of the performance exploration.  

    “We don’t necessarily have answers, but we are deeply curious.” Galbavy says. “And I love using masks to probe the many questions we as individuals all share. One of my favorite parts of the Exploration event is the interactive portion. This is a creative sharing where everyone’s input helps generate a more complete perspective—both of the archetypes and the influence they have on our lives.” 

    Pash Galbavy has created masks of archetypes as well as working and performing with them over 17 years. She describes archetypes as psychological patterns derived from life roles — such as Mother, Child, or Artist – as well as universal events, situations or emotions dealing with Death or Compassion. These archetypes are personalized in each person’s psyche, creating the foundation of personality, motivation, feelings and beliefs. 

    Rather than ‘masking’ or hiding things, Galbavy feels the act of putting on a mask is a form of unmasking. For her, masks take on lives of their own and unveil aspects of the self as well as the collective individual and social consciousness. “ Even if the stories I tell related to a mask are personal, invariably the archetypes have a universal resonance.” 

    During previous Archetypal Explorations Galbavy has worked with archetypes including Love, Despair, Courage, and Compassion. For “Ritual Healing,” a mask performance she created and directed for the recent World Peace Dance, she worked with the archetype of The Soldier. Through it she brought to light some of the internal repercussions of inner and outer war that are often unexpressed by those who participate in literal and figurative battle. Vietnam veteran and former sergeant Tom Puetz, whose poem “Battle Rage” was part of the “Ritual Healing” performance, commented, “This was not just a performance. It was a literal healing.”

    Pash Galbavy is an expressive artist, contact improvisational dancer, author, and artists’ model. With an MA in Communication Studies, she is the recipient of numerous artist grants, including several from the Arizona Commission of the Arts and two from the City of Sedona — including one for community mask making. She has performed at many festivals as well as public and private events in the US and Australia. 

    Martin Landa has a MA in Communication Studies. For over a decade, Landa and Galbavy have worked with and studied the Person-Centered Approach in groups. The Person-Centered Approach was initially defined by Carl Rogers–who is considered by many to be the father of humanistic psychology–as a way of being that cultivates qualities of being genuine, empathic, and having positive regard for one’s self and others. As part of the Exploration of Archetypes, Marty and Pash will use the Person-Centered Approach as a foundation, to facilitate participants interacting and sharing their thoughts, reactions, and reflections. 

    Those interested in witnessing and optionally participating in a process of exploring archetypes — and the way they inform personal lives and the world — are asked to consider becoming part of this unique event on April 4th at 4PM in Studio B at Old Town Center for the Arts, located at 5th St. and Main in Cottonwood. Reservations are recommended since seating is limited.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
