FIRST WOMAN: Pioneering marine biologist/ecologist Rachel Carson opened our eyes to the harm being done to the environment by the indiscriminate use of pesticides. She is considered by many to be the first contemporary environmentalist.

Her groundbreaking 1962 book, Silent Spring, drew a direct line from pesticides to the death of songbirds, and helped inspire EDF’s first mission: to ban the pesticide DDT nationwide, which our founding scientists made happen in 1972.

Myrna Haskell, executive editor of Sanctuary, spoke with GOLD sponsor Marisa Moeller, Ph.D., owner of The Alternative Therapists Partnership, about naturopathic medicine and mental wellness.

“Naturopathic medicine (or naturopathy) is a form of alternative medicine. It covers under the realm of natural or non-invasive or self-healing techniques with regard to treatments for individuals. They do tout natural remedies, so that the body will heal itself.”

Myrna Haskell, Sanctuary’s executive editor, spoke with Dr. Emily Bobson, Chiropractor, specializing in family chiropractic, pregnancy and pediatrics, about a common challenge we all have – managing overwhelm.

Emily discusses her personal journey with managing numerous personal and professional tasks, how to stick to your ‘purpose’ and stay on track, and tips to get you through those moments when you feel that you are spiraling into a meltdown.

“First things first. Can you recognize when you’re overwhelmed? There are signs. The first one for me is that I start to get resentful of the people I’m closest with and feel safest with – my partner first and my children second. And that is the last thing I want because what I’m doing in this world is to make it better for the people I love the most…but I’m actually creating strife and stress in my house…and it just snowballs.”
~ Dr. Emily Bobson, D.C.

BLANK CANVAS: Camille Kouyoumdjian discusses her style – a mix of realism and abstraction – and how engaging with nature has always inspired her work.

“I’m experimenting more with textures, patterns, and the smaller details or microcosms, rather than focusing solely on big-picture compositions. It’s more a reflection of my fascination with the details that make up a particular ecosystem, rather than trying to capture the enormity of a place.” ~ Camille Kouyoumdjian

FEATURED EMERGING ARTIST: SAMARA JOY With a voice as smooth as velvet, Samara’s star seems to rise with each performance. Following her winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, she began working on her debut, self-titled recording, which was released by Whirlwind Recordings in July 2021. It presents her backed by the trio of guitarist Pasquale Grasso, bassist Ari Roland, and drummer Kenny Washington. This first album announces the arrival of a young artist destined for greatness. "The audience is so important. I definitely get energized off of that. Sometimes when I’m feeling a little tired and feel I’ve exhausted all creative possibilities, it’s the audience [that lifts me]." ~ Samara Joy https://www.sanctuary-magazine.com/emerging-artist-samara-joy.html Samara Joy #WheresYourSanctuary #sanctuarymag2016 #focusonyouth #emergingartist #jazzsinger #jazz #performance #youth #singersongwriter #empoweringwomen #empoweringartists #performingarts #empoweringyouth #sing #voice #melody
