Miami Design District Launches Free Public Art Tours

By: Liz Kobak Liz@INYBN.com

Cracking the spine of a brand new book can feel like an adventurous undertaking, as the reader gradually ventures into a world dominated in part by his or her imaginative scope and then of course, the author’s words.

At times, it is not so much about the content on the page or a specifi c novel on the shelves, but more so about where the book is being sold and the sentimental draw of a particular bookstore. In the wake of Hurricane Irma — and in the vein of supporting local businesses — experts are predicting that it is becoming trendier than ever for consumers to purchase Continued on page 9

Dancing through Life

By: Kim Hutchinson Kim@thebeachchannel.tv

Six years ago, award-winning dance professionals, Vera and Vladimir Kosarev opened the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Coral Gables attracting students of all ages to come in to dance. “We have had students from ages 3 to 90 in our studio,” said Vera, “and their reason for coming varies as much as their ages. Some want to learn to dance for exercise and build self-confi dence while others come to celebrate life and want to learn to dance after a fi nal round of chemotherapy. We have a lot of couples come in to learn a dance for their upcoming wedding and at the same time discover a new fun experience to take them into their new life journey. Scientifi c studies have shown that dance is a highly effective therapy for improving balance and brain functions such as memory in Alzheimer’s patients.

J U R I SPRU DE N CE & YOU

Understanding Probate in Florida

Editor-in-Chief / Publisher Yara Zakharia, Esq. (The Roads/ Key Biscayne, FL) English Language Columnists Elizabeth Halle (Miami, FL) Kim Hutchinson (Memphis, Tennessee/ Atlanta, Georgia) Susan Murray (Naples, FL/New York City, NY) Spanish Language Editor Saida Santana (Miami Shores, FL / Madrid, Spain) Spanish Language Columnists Saida Santana (Miami Shores, FL / Madrid, Spain) Guest Columnists Mayra Dominguez (Coral Gables, FL) Robert Elias, Esq. (Miami, FL) Patricia Madueno (Key Biscayne, FL) Aphrodette North (Roanoke, VA)

You have likely heard the term “probate”. It is essentially a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the assets of a deceased person (also known as the “decedent”), paying the decedent’s creditors and then re-titling and/or distributing the decedent’s assets to the heirs and/or benefi ciaries. There are essentially two basic types of probate administration under Florida law: formal administration and an expedited proceeding known as a “summary administration” (available if the decedent’s assets total less than $75,000 or if the decedent has been dead for more than 2 years).

Administration via probate applies to the following : (1) those assets that were owned in the decedent’s sole name on the date of death, (2) assets that were owned by the decedent and one or more co-owners and lacked a provision for automatic succession of ownership after death, or (3) any other assets without a predesignated benefi ciary. For instance, an account that has a Payable on Death provision (also known as a “POD account”) or an account held “with right of survivorship” such that the interest is automatically vested in the “survivor” is not subject to probate and passes to the named benefi ciary outside of probate. Additionally, assets owned by husband and wife and legally held as “tenants by the entirety” are not deemed probate assets since such ownership of assets automatically vests in the surviving spouse.

IS PROBATE NECESSARY? In Florida, probate is the necessary process to satisfy creditors and thereafter to distribute ownership of the decedent’s probate assets (or re-title them) to the heirs or benefi ciaries. If the decedent had a valid Last Will & Testament on the date of death, unless the Will is admitted to probate in the applicable court, the Will, by itself, does not automatically to pass ownership of probate assets to the named benefi ciaries. Additionally, if the decedent passed with either no Will or no valid Will (known as dying “intestate”), probate is required to pass ownership of the decedent’s probate assets to

those persons who are designated to receive them under applicable Florida law.

PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES? The “personal representative” of the estate is the person (must be a Florida resident or close relative of the decedent), a Florida bank or trust company (or such institution authorized to conduct business here) appointed to handle the administration of the decedent’s probate estate in accordance with Florida law.

Essentially, the personal representative must: (1) identify, value and safeguard the decedent’s probate assets; (2) publish a ‘Notice to Creditors’ in a local newspaper; (3) conduct a diligent search to locate “known or reasonably ascertainable” creditors, and notify these creditors of the time frames for any such claims to be fi led; (4) execute all instruments necessary in the exercise of the personal representative’s powers and object to improper claims; (5) satisfy and settle creditor claims and distribute assets of the estate; (6) fi le applicable tax returns; (7) engage professionals (i.e. lawyers, accountants, appraisers, etc) to assist in the administration of the probate estate; (8) pay taxes, assessments and expenses of administering the probate estate, and (9) fi nalize the probate estate.

It is important to note that, if the personal representative mismanages the probate estate, the personal representative may be subject to liability to the heirs/ benefi ciaries.

Stop Stress from Killing You By: Mayra Dominguez

Are you stressed?

1. Are you sleeping well, enough hours and waking up rested?

2. Are you gaining weight even while doing exercise and eating small amounts of healthy food?

3. Are you catching colds easily and getting minor or major infections?

4. Is your sex drive lower than before?

5.

Are you experiencing backaches, headaches and muscle aches?

6. Are you craving junk food? Ice cream? Sweets?

7. Is your gut acting up by giving you stomach pain, nausea, heartburn, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, or constipation?

8. Are you feeling anxious?

9. Are you suddenly feeling a bit depressed and hopeless?

Causes of stress The three major causes of stress are: • Environmental (work-related, politics, local and/or world news, etc.)

• Social and personal (moving, getting married, death of a loved one, family conflict, etc.)

• Intrapsychic (stress created by your own mind from catastrophizing, wanting and expecting perfection, not adapting to change)

Why all these symptoms?

“Under stress, the hypothalamus signals the Autonomous Nervous System (ANS) and the pituitary gland to release cortisol and epinephrine, the stress hormones. The ANS acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as fight and flight response, heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal. Cortisol can also interfere with learning and memory.”

In addition, excessive stress affects the immune system and may increase the risk of mental illness, heart attack, hypertension, stroke, asthma, tension headaches, chronic pain, rapid breathing and panic attacks. Stress may also increase the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity.

18. Sleep the amount of hours your body and mind need to feel rested.

19. Drink water 20. Have a massage or give yourself a mini massage. Mix drops of calming essential oil with a carrier oil and give your feet or hands a massage. Whatever you do, just concentrate on the movements. The idea is to create a ritual that will calm your mind.

Teas to drink How to reduce and eliminate the effects of stress on your mind, body and spirit 1. Remember, situations are big or small, good or bad depending on how you look at them.

2. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.

Continuously thinking about a problem or situation does not help you solve it because you may be missing the bigger picture.

3. Learn to say no. Don’t overschedule yourself; reschedule or cancel nonessential appointments and events.

4. Be stingy with your time, but be of ser vice to others. Volu nteer ing helps relief stress.

5. Learn to accept and adapt to change.

6. Let go of your need to control situations that are not your direct doing such as heavy traffic, the weather, politics, and so on.

7. Release the situation or problem to the universe.

8. Identify what you need and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

9. Find a space (library, museum, church, the beach) or create one in your home where you can go to find peace, pray, meditate and just be.

10. Laugh. Watch a comedy, go to a comedy club and spend time with people who make you laugh.

11. Engage in a hobby.

12. Learn and practice breathing techniques. Start small, perhaps do three breathings. Breathe in while counting to 7 — hold while counting to 4- release while counting to 7. The first time you do breathing exercise; do them at least 3 times while concentrating on the breaths and the counting.

13. Do yoga and relaxation exercises such as mindfulness 14. Walk away when you are angry or confronted with a situation you do not like.

15. Engage in regular exercise for at least 20 minutes.

Make your own anti-stress blend with essential oils Always use the purest oils you can find. Choose from the following essential oils: Lavender Ylang Ylang Bergamot Clary sage Tangerine Frankincense Peppermint White Camphor Add a few drops to carrier oil such as Almond, jojoba, avocado, grapeseed or even extra virgin olive oil. The rule of thumb is one drop of essential oil per one teaspoon of carrier oil for topical use.

Add a few drops of essential oils to bath water and immerse yourself. Do

some breathing exercises while in the bathtub.

Use heat or mist diffusers Burn some sage or other incense while meditating or simply doing breathing exercises. Place the incense or sage in a safe container made of glass or metal and cleanse your energy fields. a sage bundle.

Clearing your energy fields will help you clear your mind and find answers to solve the situation(s).

If you do not have essential oils, boil orange peel and cinnamon. Both are known to relax.

Reduce stress with your diet 1. Eat healthy in small amounts, but frequently to prevent sugar level from jumping up and down and thus prevent irritability.

2. Choose fruit and a whole-grain cereal for maximum benefits. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast. Mix some almonds and dry or fresh fruits to increase nutrition and diversify flavor.

3. Focus on foods containing Vitamins B and C, and Magnesium: leafy green vegetables, whole grain, oats, brown rice, beans, avocados, nuts, seeds and also meat, fish and dairy, citrus fruits and broccoli.

4. Avoid or drastically reduce caffeine intake 5. Avoid or reduce Alcohol, Sugar, Salt and Nicotine 6. Consume sources of Omega 3. Fish such as salmon, anchovies, sardines, and mussels are good sources.

"I always try to make the tour accessible and enlightening. Sometimes people in the art community join the tours, and it becomes educational for others because we have artists and curators sharing the time and it makes it interactive for the group."

The free public art tours will also accompany other activities at the MDD such as Family Day, which take place the second Sunday of each month, and MDD’s farmer’s market scheduled on the last Wednesday of each month.

After spending time in New York and returning to Miami, she wanted to re-immerse herself into the local arts and culture scene.

"I rediscovered Miami.

It's interactive and definitely not boring. [Margery] is very knowledgeable and I've gone to about three or four of her tours, and I really enjoy them.

You learn a lot about your city and the history of the art, the institute and the artists and collections. I love art, and I know I'm going to keep going and

Participants are asked to reserve a spot in the tour via the MDD website, but walk-ups are welcome.

I believe that many of us are suffering from phone-less syndrome, a condition where levels of anxiety run high once we feel our phone is out of reach.

Our mobile device has become the focal point of our personal space; just looking at or touching it gives us a sense of comfort and security. Proximity is a must. God forbid that we left it in the car or at home, in which case, we feel compelled to retrieve it.

Undeniably, it offers invaluable ser vices; it is an indispensable tool enabling us to reach anything and to be reached. As an unlimited source of business, networking and entertaining, it has the ability to challenge us, intrigue us and make us ubiquitous and multitasking.

In response to this marvelous invention, our human hands have learned to text on a diminutive keyboard, and our thumbs have built extra sensitivity to swipe through photos, music, news and millions of apps.

At this moment and fortunately so, our phone is not able to read our minds or express love and compassion for others. Our phone cannot reproduce the emotional highs of a rewarding conversation or the profound sentiment expressed by a child’s laugh or the touch of a loved one.

Our human software is still fully operational; nevertheless

we are witnessing some signs of erosion- most notably, the loss of the art of conversation.

How many times have you tried to have a conversation with someone who is perpetually preoccupied with the phone? Probably thousands, so much so that you are not bothered by it any more. It is the new normal.

A conversation is an open space we share to express our thoughts and feelings. It is a journey to imagine, to create and expand our souls and is the natural way to forge connections with

other human beings.

And yet, what has suffered mostly in the slow decay of conversations is our ability to listen.

Listening is the entry point to connect and to establish a dialogue based on empathy and understanding. Nowadays, we are listening not to understand but to respond, exactly like Siri.

It is up to us to engage our capacity to converse or to replace it by a sophisticated app.

Just think of how different our world could be if we could partake in conversations premised on listening with attention and respect. Aren't you curious to discover what insights will be revealed form the person sitting in front of you, what unknown territory you could explore together and what wonders you could find by listening to your interlocutor?

their books from small, independently-owned stores rather than widely known vendors.

For now, only two such stores in Miami offer rare and vintage books; however, there are still a handful of independently owned shops that also exist.

 “These could be the last used book stores in Miami,” says Eunice Rodriguez of her Kendall Book Exchange and so-called arch-nemesis Dunbar Old Books, although she assures the stores work in tandem to assure customers acquire whatever title they are seeking.

These independently owned bookstores pop up throughout South Florida, and like the standard store, sell a myriad of books spanning different genres, have intriguing stories of ownership, unique histories and plans for the coming year. The business model for the Kendall Book Exchange is fairly unique in that customers can swap their own books for some from the store.

“We take in 1,000 [books] a week, and they get a credit — 50 percent credit off of the publisher’s price of the book,” explains Rodriguez of her near-

40,000 collection of books that has accumulated in the past eight years, when her operation first started.

 Many of those books were acquired when another book exchange closed in Kendall last winter, relocating to North Carolina. There’s an upside and

tests to the overarching trend of bookstores' demise locally.

“I think it’s a travesty, and it’s sad,” remarks Rodriguez on how bookstores aren’t around as much now since kindles and technology have dominated the reading arena. “[But] I don’t think book exchanges will go away in my lifetime. This is the only place to take [books] other than Goodwill.”

On that optimistic sentiment, Rodriguez underscores the value of expanding book exchange expansion for the betterment of the community.

“I welcome the competition,” she comments on the prospect of having more stores like her own pop up in South Florida.

“I would love to see more bookstores.”

When devoted book shop patrons want to start perusing through their newly swapped book, they can do so while sipping on hot tea, served throughout the day. This inevitably makes it feel unusu-

and herbalists.”

Splitting its attention between online and in-person sales, Dunbar Old Books in Coral Gables has profited mainly from the former method of sale. For more than 26 years, Maryanne Talmadge has owned and operated Dunbar Old Books, which specializes in selling non-fiction, art and architecture, photography, Cuban history and Spanish books.

While Talmadge welcomes business from locals, she has noticed a trend of consumers wanting to purchase specific titles online rather than in-per-

downside to this, notes Rodriguez. For one, the storeowner added about 6,000 extra books to her already growing collection as the liquidated store was giving them away. On the other hand, the lack of competition from other stores in Miami at-

ally homey inside. Not only can you enjoy a cup of tea, but also there is a co-existing apothecary that has caught the attention of celebrities and locals alike. When asked about her reasoning behind combining soothing scents and herbs with paperback, Rodriguez observes that it is what makes her store stand out from the rest. “It’s a little treasure out in Kendall,” she says of her store. “It’s peaceful; it’s quiet. Everything always smells wonderful, and we are the only place in Miami that sells herbs.”

While thousands of books occupy the shelves of Kendall Books Exchange’s backspace, the store is more about servicing the community, which could otherwise not have access to healing herbs. “[Primarily we are] helping people with illnesses,” Rodriguez says. “We are medicinal

she says of the mostly younger demographic that requests specific titles in-person from her store. “I’m doing a service for people who can’t find a book online.”

son. Nearly 90 percent of sales are online, whereas the remaining 10 percent are in-person.

“Interestingly, the locals want the lower-priced books,” says Talmadge of her customer base. “Mostly, [my business is] overseas.” Those overseas sales come from the “ABE”, otherwise known as the Advanced Books Exchange, operated out of Canada.

Located in a low-rent, warehouse-populated area, Dunbar says those factors limit her selling abilities.

“If I want to sell high price books,” points out Talmadge, “you have to do it online.” One might argue that this sales method detracts from the allure of shopping in-person and undermines the Kendall Book Exchange's objective, although both store owners have expressed support for one another’s professional missions.

Somet i mes, when locals select books for $5, Dunbar will often offer them free of charge. For her, there’s a satisfaction to seeing customers have the (in her words) ‘Oh my God – I found it!’ look on their faces when randomly spotting a favorite book in the collection. Then, there are patrons who come to Dunbar requesting specific books and leave empty-handed were it not for Talmadge's help.

“I’ll look it up online for them and tell them who has it,”

Outside of the aforementioned rare books stores, there are some so-called independently-owned bookstores that are still thriving, too. There is Second Edition Book Shop in Davie, which sells used books with an array of circulation titles. One Facebook user boasts: “This shop is packed with books; some hidden like gems waiting to be found; it’s certainly worth stopping in.”

Then there’s The Bookstore in the Grove, which even serves brunch for those who’d like something to munch on while reading outdoors. And finally, the third shop that comes to mind is probably the most prolific independently owned store of all, with roots in South Florida and locations in the Gables, Bal Harbour, the Adrienne Arsht Center and more, as well as out of state locations. The neighborhood bookstore organizes author events with books signings and offers patrons the opportunity to enjoy craft beers and wines at its wine bar and lunch or dinner at its cafe.

Regardless of which independently owned bookstore one chooses to find a rare book, it is evident that such establishments are becoming a rare breed. It is only by rediscovering the joys of reading hardcover and paperback books and refraining from falling into digital reading trends that we will effectively advocate for the preservation of our local gems.

“My Miami Story” Conversations to Bring Thousands Together on October 17 The Miami Foundation and Knight Foundation partner to invite county residents to find common ground across lines of difference

Photos courtesy of Lisa Mozloom

As communities across the nation grapple with an inflammatory racial and political climate, there is an increased need for spaces where people can find common ground through shared experiences and open dialogue. That’s a main driver behind The Miami Foundation’s My Miami Story conversations, an effor t to get thousands of Miami-Dade County residents to sit down with each other on Tuesday, October 17th, over a meal, snack or cafecito, and share their personal stories about life in the county. By understanding how we each came to this community, why we stay here, what we value about it and what how we can make it better, we uncover the common narrative about what matters to us as Miamians and connect around solutions that enhance life in Greater Miami.

“There is much more we have in common than what divides us,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “My Miami Story conversations are about discovering how our connections to this community actually unite us as residents within it. It’s an important step to increasing our understanding of each other and helping every Miamian take ownership of improving quality of life here.”

Now in its second year, My Miami Story is a community engagement initiative driven

by The Miami Foundation with additional support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Miami is

one of 10 cities across the U.S. selected to replicate the initiative with funding from Knight Foundation.

In 2016, close to 2,000 Miamians participated in the inaugural My Miami Story conver sat ion s. More t ha n 160 residents and organizations signed up to host 6 to 12 people in homes, restaurants, classrooms, offices and outside in neighborhood parks.

Discussions ranged from local transit to housing, affordability, the need for more equity across Miami-Dade and other issues in the 2016 Our Miami Report. A post-survey distributed to participants found that more than half spoke with people they didn’t already know and many of them exchanged contact information. About a quarter made specific plans to work with each other on civic efforts. Participants also found the discussions clarifying with a majority saying they better understood community issues and had a sense of how to address their concerns. Building on the momentum of Connect Miami and with additional support from Knight Foundation, the goal is to double resident participation this year.

My Miami Story is part of a larger national initiative, supported by Knight Foundation in 10 cities across the country, which aims to bring residents together in small mealtime conversations to talk about ways to make their neighborhoods stronger, safer and more dynamic. It is based on the success of The Chicago Community Trust’s On the Table

initiative.

“My Miami Story conversations will highlight the incredible diversity and possibilities present in our communities,” said Chris Caines, K night Foundation interim program director for Miami. “Bringing together Miamians of all backgrounds and experiences to discuss pressing issues and collectively develop solutions to challenges is needed now more than ever. At the same time, as part of a national initiative, it is a chance to share lessons with cities across the country.”

Several leading Greater Miami organizations and residents have already signed on as conversation host partners to champion the effort: • Florida Memorial University – Cynthia Curry, executive vice president

• MCCJ – Roberta Shevin, executive director • Miami Fellows alumni • Miami Herald – Nancy Ancrum, editorial board editor • Radical Partners – Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, founder • T he Child ren’s Tr ust – Stephanie Sylvestre, chief programs officer • United Way of Miami-Dade – Claudia Grillo, chief operating officer • Marlon Hill – attorney and board member, Orange Bowl Committee and Miami Book Fair • David Lawrence, Jr. – chair of The Children’s Movement of Florida • Mayra Lindsay – mayor of Village of Key Biscayne • Dennis Scholl – CEO, ArtCenter/South Florida

• Don Slesnick – former mayor of Coral Gables • Jason Taylor – pro football hall of famer and founder, Jason Taylor Foundation Anyone can sign up to host a My Miami Story conversation.

Hosts will receive a simple toolkit with tips on planning and guiding the discussion.

The Miami Foundation also invites all conversation participants to register as guests to ensure they receive a postsurvey.

If a resident would like to participate as a conversation guest but does not already know of one to attend, they may register as a guest and the Foundation will connect them with the host of an open conversation. To register as a host or guest and for more information, visit mymiamistory.org.

Dancing through Life Continued from page 1

those who recently lost a spouse and feel loney, or sometime it’s just to learn new skills and have fun.” Whatever the reason, men and women of all ages are dancing through life and reaping health benefi ts along the way.

The popularity of the ABC series “Dancing with the Stars” has generated heightened awareness in dance. “Sometimes it can be a good thing, and sometimes it can be a bad thing,” noted Vera.

“People who watch the show see people doing a performance in one week, and they think they can do the same but they don’t realize that the couple has spent 40 hours of practice during the week to learn a routine that can last 1-1/2 to 2 minutes for the TV show. They think they can come in and in ½ hour learn an entire routine.”

Dancing can be easy and relaxing or it can be vigorous and exciting. Some prefer one style to another, while others enjoy a mix of different dance types.

When asked what the most popular type of dance locals want to learn, Vera replied “in Miami – it’s salsa. A lot of people come in and tell us they want to learn Salsa – but what they really mean is they want to learn the Latin dances: the Cha Cha, Bachata and Merengue.

Salsa is just one style of dance, and if you only learn one dance you limit yourself and you’re not really learning the skill of dancing; you’re learning patterns. Patterns and ability are two different things.” The lessons at the Alhambra studio are not limited to just Latin beats.

The Korasevs and their team of talented award-winning pros teach two distinct categories of ballroom dance: rhythm and smooth. In the rhythm category, as with the Latin dances, you can also learn the fun East and West Coast Swing, the partying Rumba, hip action Mambo, popular disco dance - the Hustle, Brazil’s famous Samba, the slow romantic Bolero, the lively and passionate Paso Doble and the high energy Jive. In the Smooth category, they offer group and private lessons in the fast paced Foxtrot, the spicy Tango, sexy Argentine Tango, a traditional Waltz, the el-

egant Viennese Waltz, and the heart elevating fun QuickStep.

The Korasevs really know how to dance! Among their many accolades, they are Fred Astaire World Champions, two-time National Fred Astaire Champions, two-time World Masters Smooth Champions and US National Nine Dance Finalists – both Smooth and Rhythm. The two met at a Rochester New York Fred Astaire Dance Studio in 2001. They started dancing together when neither one of them had a

partner and consequently had to dance with each other for an upcoming studio showcase … and continued their dance partnership. Married in 2007, today their love of dance and each other is evident to all, each time they step onto

the dance fl oor.

As Judge Carrie Ann Inaba of Dancing with the Stars recently said of a dance performed by former Olympic Figure Skater medalist Nancy Kerrigan, “this show is about fi nding yourself through dance, and I saw you fi nd yourself.”

No matter what your age or reason to dance – for love, health, celebration, or simply diversion, you too can fi nd yourself through dance. Lessons at the Fred Astaire Studio located at 45 Alhambra Plaza in Coral Gables are available for individuals, couples, and group classes.

There is an Introductory Special at the studio for new students: two individual lessons for $42 (a $167 value). To learn more and/or sign up call: 305-443-0085 or log on www.fredastaire.com/coralgables/

Monster Fish Exhibit at Frost Museum of Science Opens Oct. 28

WHO/WHAT

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science invites guests to dive beneath the surface of the world’s rivers in the new special exhibition, Monster Fish: In Search of the Last River Giants, opening Saturday, October 28 on levels two and three of the museum’s West Wing. Enormous in size and rapidly dwindling in number, these ancient fi sh play critical roles in their freshwater habitats.

Dr. Zeb Hogan, aquatic ecologist, National Geographic Fellow and host of the Nat Geo WILD series “Monster Fish,” has spent nearly two decades searching for and studying the rare, large freshwater fi sh species profi led in the exhibition. The interactive exhibition will include fi ve extraordinary, life-size sculptures of monster fi sh as well as videos and hands-on interactive activities for audiences of all ages.

Monster Fish takes guests on a journey to river basins around the world to learn about colossal fi sh and the people that depend on them. Through detailed maps, sculptures and custom illustrations, the exhibition showcases diverse freshwater ecosystems.

In addition to highlighting the biology of different fi sh species, the exhibition depicts the cultural ties between the fi sh and local people. From mythical tales and storied traditions to threats and conservation efforts, guests will leave with a greater understanding of the connection between humans and fi sh.

Monster Fish: In Search of the Last River Giants runs from Saturday, October 28 through spring

2018 at Frost Science. Admission is complimentary with museum tickets. More information is available at frostscience.org/monsterfi sh. Monster Fish is developed and traveled by the National Geographic Society.

Interactive Exhibition Highlights: Monster Fish features several interactive elements and games designed to provide guests with opportunities to learn about how monster fi sh grow; how scientists study them; and how anglers and others can help these fi sh survive.

• Monster Size Me: Users maneuver a marble through a circular obstacle course, avoiding threats like invasive species and dams and seeking ways to grow areas like protected habitats.

• Minnow or Monster? Groups can step onto a large scale to see their equivalent weight in monster fi sh.

• Go Fish: Children use magnetic fi shing poles to catch fi sh and then place them into a chute for release back into the river. A model boat serves as a theater, which guests can climb aboard to view video shorts featuring Dr. Hogan talking about what it is like to search the world for monster fi sh.

Michele Oka Doner: Into the Mysterium Opens at the Lowe on October 12 A beautiful exhibition of u n ique color photog r aphs, titled Michele Oka Doner: Into the Mysterium, will open at the Lowe Art Museum on October 12, feat uring Oka Doner’s newest work. Comprising fifty-five large-format photographs and premiering her immersive four-channel video installation, Mysterium Alive, the exhibition is inspired by specimens from the Marine Invertebrate Museum at University of Miami’s Rosensteil School of Marine a nd At mospher ic Science.

Each mesmerizing photograph is presented in a custom frame, painted and stained by the artist herself. An Opening Reception and Artist’s Talk will be held at the Lowe on Thursday, October 12 at 7:00 pm.

Best known for her compelling public commissions, including A Walk on the Beach, the iconic paved concourse at the Miami International Airport, Michele Oka Doner is fascinated with order and humanity’s desire to collect and arrange. The artist is equally

enth ralled by Nat u re; she sees in twigs, stones, pebbles, leaves, seeds, and husks vestigial remnants of a world that is both eternal and fleeting.

She transforms “Mother Nature’s marginalia” into works that are notable both for their material beauty and their intellectual impact. They speak to her deep interest in civilization’s push-pull relationship with Nature as well as the paper-thin membrane separating order from chaos. Through this exhibition, Michele Oka Doner takes us back to our aquatic roots and invites us “into a oneness of being.”

Michele Oka Doner will also be the featured speaker at the Lowe’s annual Art Basel Miami Beach Bubbles & Brunch program on December 10. On December 2, families can enjoy a Community Day with art activities themed to the exhibition. Tickets for the Opening Reception, Bubbles & Brunch lecture, and Community Day can be purchased at rsvp.lowemuseum.org.

Michele Oka Doner: Into the Mysterium will be on view

INDIVIDUAL ENERGY HEALING SESSIONS WITH PAULA PETRY, PHD Dr. Paula Petry combines her life experiences with her formal training in energy medicine, education, psychology, and the healing arts to help individuals optimize their health and well-being.

She offers individual energy medicine sessions and workshops, as well as individual somatic therapy & coaching sessions to reduce stress, depression, anxiety and internal conflicts.

In an initial energy medicine session, Dr. Petry first completes a standard intake process with you. This flows into a conversation about your expectations for the session(s) and in general what motivated you to seek assistance. Dr. Petry explains the general process, and you are given the opportunity to ask questions.

Dr. Petry then begins an informal chat to help you identify the underlying emotional triggers that are diminishing your level of joyfulness and satisfaction with life. Early memories are identified that are connected to the emotional triggers.

As your memories are activated, you identify where that emotion lives in the body, where you feel it, e.g., heart, stomach, head. If you have a generalized anxiety, you may feel it everywhere. The purpose of this process is to create an awareness of the emotional/behavioral pattern and to activate the negative/heavy energy in the body so it can be released through the healing process.

NOTE: During non-local healings which are conducted over the phone or Skype, you can be lying down or sitting in a chair, while Dr. Petry, applying the principles of quantum physics, clears your biofield.

You will then lie in a supine position on a massage table and further relax by visualizing a healing energy entering your body with each breath. Dr. Petry calls upon her and your spirit guides.

She begins to enter non-ordinary time which facilitates her ability to ‘see’ your biofield and remove non-beneficial energies.

Through the power of intention and spiritual assistance, heavy energies are lifted from the body through the chakra portals.This part of the session can Who Can Benefit? take from 20 to 60 minutes.
