has been on can become a wonderful discovery. In energy healer Ashley Dye’s story “Book of Life,” about the Akashic Records—the stories of one’s soul stored in the “ether” or Akashic realm—she hopes to provide you with a basic understanding of the blueprint of a soul’s journey. By looking inward and revealing any traumas in a past life, one’s soul can be cleared so as not to repeat those traumas or cause suffering in this life. Almost everyone needs karmic cleansing for their missteps and for the affronts done to them in a past life, not to mention in this lifetime. By unveiling the root cause of our emotional and mental state, we can begin to heal and thus refresh our physical layers. We can fortify the physical in a noticeable way by turning on the light inside.

So, I’m digging into my pocket and pulling out a penny I can throw into the fountain of youth that will ripple out into the universe. Keep digging into your karmic well-being and see what you can heal. Let Purist be your guide.

People often ask me if anything actually works toward that Benjamin Button fantasy we all have of aging backward.

In the eight years since I launched Purist and have since become a certified nutritionist, I have seen the latest in remedies, cleanses, lasers, healing and antiaging devices and while some things slow down the aging process, ramp up vitality and bring ailing cells back to a state of good health, better known as wellness, there is one thing that I’ve observed that has defied gravity, so to speak.

Spirituality. I know that is a very loose term, but let me clarify: Living a more spiritual existence has been a noticeable source of that higher frequency showing up on someone’s aura. Karmic patterning—ancient patterns of behavior that are repeated and imprinted on one’s soul—is something to discover on this quest. We have to ask ourselves why we sometimes do the things that might not serve us well over and over again. Better yet, ask yourself how you can be the best version of yourself in this lifetime. And doing your best can influence the collective unconscious to operate at an elevated frequency, too. If you can feel the low vibration in the world, then you know a shift needs to take place. That shift or work begins within each of us.

If we operate from a place where we acknowledge that our souls have lived multiple existences, the journey our soul

ECHOWILD TO THE RESCUE Zara Beard, daughter of the late photographer Peter Beard, introduces a not-for-profit model of environmental protection.

BY JENNY LANDY PHOTOGRAPHY BY DIANA FRANK

A new kind of conservationist, Zara Beard is both storyteller and strategist, healer and builder, equally at home in the poetry of a children’s book and the precision of an environmental policy proposal. As founder of a new not-forprofit, EchoWild, Beard pioneers a model of conservation rooted in data, responsiveness and local action. Her father, the late photographer and conservationist Peter Beard, instilled in her a deep-rooted love for the natural world, one shaped as much by beauty as by brutal honesty.

With educational programming, habitat restoration and environmental reform already underway, EchoWild is a scalable model designed to protect what’s left, repair what’s broken and restore the wild world we still have.

Zara believes that every animal saved is a signal, every child taught is a seed planted.

And every act of care is a quiet form of rebellion against despair.

PURIST: Your father, Peter Beard, was renowned for his powerful photography and dedication to wildlife conservation. How did his work influence your decision to carry on his legacy?

Zara Beard: My father’s love for the wild was visceral, all-consuming and contagious. He didn’t just admire nature; he lived in it, often half inside the jaws of it. He gave me a deep reverence for the natural world, but also an unflinching awareness of its realities.

He could be wild, infuriating, brilliant—but Zara Beard 28

he was also profoundly gentle. He’d feed the warthogs by hand, leave out scraps for raccoons and top up the birdbaths with almost religious devotion. He treated every wild creature with absolute fascination, with the awe of a child encountering magic for the first time. A lizard sunning itself on a rock, a weaverbird building its nest—nothing was ever too small or too ordinary to be marveled at.

EchoWild, in many ways, is a continuation of that instinct— to care fiercely, to look closely and to never lose the wonder.

PURIST: As a not-for-profit, EchoWild will play a crucial role in wildlife conservation on Long Island. What can the local community do to support your mission?

ZB: EchoWild wasn’t born from strategy, but from the simple act of paying attention—and the story behind it has been unfolding for a long time. At its heart, it’s about listening to what the animals are telling us and turning those stories into action. There’s so much the community can do. You don’t have to handle an eagle, though if you’re brave, I’ll hand you the gloves. But you can stop using poisons, plant native species, and fish with barbless hooks and biodegradable line. And if you find a baby animal—call first, act second.

You can volunteer, reach out, support a cause that speaks to you. Share our work. Tell people about us. The wild doesn’t have a voice in zoning meetings or school boards, but you do, and that matters more than you know.

Beard is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife and revitalizing native habitats.

WHAT THE ANIMALS ARE TRYING TO TELL ME A plea for environmental healing. BY ZARA BEARD

There’s a certain silence that comes with an injured animal. Not fear, exactly—something quieter. A kind of surrender. They don’t cry out. They simply arrive: a bird covered in oil, a turtle with a shell cracked like old china, an owl dying from eating the things that ate the poison. One by one, they begin to tell me what’s gone wrong.

They don’t speak in words, but they speak. And once I learned how to listen, I couldn’t unhear it.

When I first began working in wildlife rescue, I thought the task at hand was simple, if not easy. An animal arrives, I try to save it. Some live. Some don’t. I cleaned wounds, gave fluids, fed them gently and awkwardly and sometimes too late. I thought that if I could just

mend enough wings and stitch enough fur back together, it would amount to something like progress.

But after a while, the pattern began to emerge. The fox wasn’t an anomaly.

The poisoned owl wasn’t an exception.

The same stories kept arriving in different shapes. What I was treating wasn’t just injury—it was evidence. Each animal was telling a part of the same tale, in the only language it had left.

That’s when I realized that rescuing the animal alone was no longer enough. And so, I founded EchoWild.

Not because I had any particular desire to start an organization, but because I could no longer bear not to.

My idea to treat every injured animal as a data point. A clue. The injuries 30

show me where the land is breaking, and EchoWild is how I plan to begin stitching it back together.

I’ve started designing wildlifesafe fishing kits—barbless hooks, biodegradable line and tools simple enough to prevent a death without needing a hero. I’ve seen too many wings wrapped in filament, too many beaks pierced and bleeding, too many creatures drowned slowly in silence.

The kits are small things, but they could stop a great deal of suffering.

So this is how I begin. With my hands doing the best they can, and my heart trying to listen. Because the animals are still speaking. Still showing me where it hurts. And I am finally learning how to hear them. echo-wild.org

BOOK OF LIFE

Decoding the mystery and life-changing power of the Akashic Records. BY ASHLEY DYE

a suitor and getting completely blindsided. The storyline was much more dramatic than the quick synopsis, and really highlighted a continuing theme that I now had the opportunity to release. The lesson: “Truth is truth.” Those three words summed up my patterning of believing what I wanted to, and overlooking reality not aligning with my ideals. Those three words also liberated me energetically from karmic patterning, so that the habit dissipated. Now I feel empowered to discern with grace.

The process of shifting one’s life trajectory to match the new elevated frequency tends to happen rather quickly, as energy is magnetic and calls in matching frequencies that are compatible with the elevated baseline. When energetic frequency is shifted, the universe aligns to match.

The Akashic Records are not relegated to the construct of time and space that we use to comprehend our experiences. Past, present and future can be accessed, as well as different realms and states of being. One never knows where the records will take you as they reveal what is in the highest benefit at that moment for healing and soul evolution. Through this process, vibrational frequency is elevated; a higher timeline is activated. For example, resonating with anger, guilt or shame hold one at lower vibrational frequencies. Energy is magnetic, and therefore, more of the same will continue to be experienced. Release those frequencies and elevate to courage, acceptance, love or peace, and now call in experiences that are in alignment with those frequencies.

Since working in the Akashic Records, I’ve experienced healing beyond my wildest dreams in my relationships, family, career and heart. I’ve witnessed the upward trajectory of clients’ lives—businesses skyrocketing, liberation from painful ties of the past, great personal growth.

My work in the records as an intuitive healer acts as a catalyst for supporting my clients through issues that have been plaguing them. Where there’s drama, there’s karma. We are energy; our emotions and experiences are all energy. Healing in the Akashic Records supports aligning with energy that vibrates with living life in grace. archealingarts.com

The Akashic Records house the archives of one’s soul since inception in the infinite frequency of the akash, or “ether,” an immaterial energetic field that encompasses and connects all time and space. Some refer to the Akashic Records as a virtual database. since it holds the comprehensive knowledge of universal existence. I find the experience in the records to be much more passionate and soulful, as they reveal the experiences of one’s soul evolution that have accumulated into who a person is at that given moment. Those experiences can be profound.

The Akashic Records exist in a higher realm of elevated frequencies. Accessing the records is done through the vibrational frequency of sound, and there are numerous protocols or scripts one can follow. The reader speaks the script aloud, filling in the pertinent information, such as who the reading is for and what they are interested in understanding. The protocol I follow involves inviting in the archangel Gabriel for guidance and protection, and positing the question for the records in a meditative state, journeying to the Akashic realm. It is a process available to anyone who is open and willing to learn. When one journeys into the records for healing, anything is possible.

The journey reveals a visual narrative, which is spoken aloud by the reader in the ancient art of storytelling. This narrative is in response to the question posed by the person whose records have been opened. Questions can focus on any number of topics, from life purpose to karmic and ancestral issues or daily life guidance. Depending on one’s belief system, this narrative could be an experience of a past life, or considered a metaphor reflective of life today.

At the end of the narrative, a lesson is revealed. Healing begins as the records are opened and the vibrational frequency is released, and the lesson clarifies the frequency.

Energy that was dense around an issue is clarified, and awareness supports the shift from resistance to flow.

My first experience in the records was quite profound, as I got right to the heart of the matter of my love life, querying about the purpose of my tumultuous experiences. The reading went to a quaint scene of a young Dutch maiden turning a blind eye to the reality of 32

NC: Our goal is to remain around 1,000 national members.

When a new member inquires about our programs, we want to make sure that we’re not only a good fit for them, but they’re also a good fit for us. Prior to accepting a new member, they must complete an application that goes before a membership committee for approval. We want to know their families, business, pets and acquaintances. Our goal is to learn as much about them and their travel profiles as we can prior to selling them a service.

Additionally, not every member is the same, and not all travel for the same reasons. You may have the business

PURIST: For the past 27 years, NICHOLAS AIR has provided its 1,000 national members a reliable and exclusive program.

While slow to grow, it has deep roots and can weather the storms. Many companies grow too fast, have no structure, borrow huge sums of money, hoping the customer comes.

Unfortunately, when a storm hits, they’re wiped away. We have never taken private equity, and remain 100 percent privately owned and operated. We’re not focused on making sure the numbers look good for a shareholder or PE firm—which normally means sacrificing quality to chase the bottom line.

This approach has also afforded us the ability to have a young and fresh fleet. We have many members that come from other operators. The most common compliment we 44

SW: Our full-service restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, sets the tone. With indoor and outdoor seating, warm hospitality, and a menu rooted in elevated American cuisine, it’s equally suited for celebratory dinners, sun-soaked lunches and a relaxed morning on the patio.

SARAH WETENHALL: The history here isn’t just something we inherited; it’s something we intend to celebrate. Every beam, every floorboard has a story, and we see incredible potential to let that legacy shape the guest experience in meaningful, layered ways.

PURIST: You’ve certainly had experience with similar properties.

SW: Andrew and I have had the honor of stewarding The Colony, where we’ve spent years thoughtfully restoring and reimagining the property while preserving its architectural charm and historic heart. That taught us the value—and the nuance—of honoring the past while creating something that feels fresh, relevant and alive.

At The Hedges, the opportunity is much the same: to highlight the soul of the original structure while gently introducing moments of comfort, luxury and Fresh, seasonal delight.

Restoration at this level requires care—balancing historical integrity with modern expectations, working closely with experts and letting the building guide the process. Our goal isn’t to forget the past, but to build on it, and to ensure The Hedges thrives for generations to come as a vibrant, welcoming destination where heritage and contemporary comfort merge seamlessly.

ASK THE DR.

Six essential ways your body composition can keep you younger longer.

BY DR. FRANK LIPMAN

But why bother looking under the (body fat) hood?

We humans come in an incalculable number of shapes and sizes: some big, some little and everywhere in between. But physical size isn’t always as obvious an indicator of health. For example, a tall, thin-looking person is often presumed healthier than someone who is short and curvy, but that may not actually reflect reality.

The person who looks skinny on the outside may be carrying too much visceral fat, i.e., the more troublesome stuff that collects around the organs and inside the muscles—to be considered healthy.

In other words, looks can be deceiving, which is one reason why knowing what’s going on below the surface is so important. Regardless of your external shape, it’s what’s inside that counts, and a high amount of body fat, especially visceral fat, drives increased risk for life-shorteners like diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer, just to name a few. Simply put, the less visceral fat you’ve got, the better. Subcutaneous fat, the jiggly stuff that lives just under the skin’s surface, is much less dangerous, although too much of it can put a strain on your heart, your joints and

Take a look under the hood.

Maybe your pants don’t quite fit like they used to, and maybe you could stand to lose a pound or two. But to really gain insight into your insides, you need to look at body composition and, more specifically, how much body fat you have. To do that, you can pick from any number of measurement techniques. For example, you might consider any one of the more common analog options, or maybe a more high-tech one outlined below, but I’ll tell you up front: My preferred technique is BIA, or bioelectrical impedance analysis. Among the options: Body Mass Index: BMI involves a simple calculation that uses height and weight to determine if your body weight is healthy for a given height. Though it provides very general information about health, it doesn’t take muscle mass into account, so it can easily miscategorize a muscular person as overweight or obese—and on the flip side, may underestimate the body fat percentage of a nonmuscular person.

52

Jigar Panchal

Skin-Fold Measurement: This is the classic, old-school pinch test, mentioned above, that uses calipers to measure skin-fold depth at specific points on the body.

Results provide a general window into overall body fat percentage, but much depends on the skill of the person doing the measurements. And it can be less accurate when used on very lean or very obese people.

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry: The DEXA or DXA system provides highly accurate measurements using lowlevel X-rays to assess bone mass and density, lean muscle mass and fat mass—but it’s not for everyone. It’s an expensive option, requiring specialized equipment, and it also involves exposure to a small amount of radiation.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis: I find BIA to be the most helpful. I like the InBody testing device, and use it in my practice just about every day. It takes just a minute or two and works by sending a small electrical current through the body, measuring the resistance to the current to estimate body fat percentage, muscle mass and body water content. Because water is reactive, and muscle tissue contains more water than fat tissue does, this digital approach can offer a more accurate estimate of fat mass and muscle mass than analog options.

If over the past two or three decades you visited your doctor or joined a gym, chances are you’ve done a body composition “pinch test” with calipers or maybe a measuring tape, to get a rough approximation of how much of you was muscle, and how much wasn’t.

While the pinch tests of the ’90s and aughts weren’t, medically speaking, all that precise, they were a simple, inexpensive way to get an idea of one’s fat-to-muscle ratio without getting into more sophisticated methods, like the kinds usually reserved for elite athletes. But compared to the high-tech, highly accurate options that are available now, all that pinching was the diagnostic equivalent of the rotary phone—it got the job done at a very rudimentary level.

Today, fortunately, our ability to determine more precisely the proportion of fat, lean muscle, bone and water in the body has vastly improved—so much so that digital body composition analysis has blossomed into a must-have tool for many of us in the wellness and longevity world. In fact, it’s now one of my favorite ways to identify a patient’s current state of health and to call out what needs tending to in order to support their longevity and improve their “health span”—the length of time they’re able to stay vibrant and fit.

OK, so you might wonder, how exactly does a high-tech test help you live longer and better? The road starts here:

composition and protects against anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

5 Longevity and Quality of Life: Aging Process: Keeping your muscles healthy is absolutely crucial in your senior years. Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass that occurs with age, leads directly to frailty and a decreased quality of life.

Chronic Disease Prevention: The better your balance of muscle to fat, the less risk of chronic disease. That’s the secret to enhanced longevity and a better quality of life.

6 Immune Function: Inflammation: One important way excess body fat, particularly visceral fat, hurts us is by upping levels of chronic inflammation, which weakens the immune system and increases our susceptibility to illness.

Immune Response: Having enough muscle mass and feeding it with the right food (adequate protein consumption becomes more and more important as we get older) safeguards our immune response.

your overall quality of life. And when you’re significantly overweight, some of that extra fat will be visceral, no getting around it. Working toward a healthy body composition will turn your life, and your life span, around.

So, for the sake of laying the groundwork for a longer and healthier life, I recommend you get your body composition measurements taken and reviewed. The information gleaned will help you and your practitioner develop a plan to help improve your health, so expect a plan that will include a combination of lifestyle upgrades, including movement, nutrition, stress reduction and of course, body fat reduction (a very positive side effect of all those upgrades). By focusing on improving your body composition, you’ll also stimulate numerous longevityboosting effects throughout the body, including: 1

Metabolic Efficiency: Basal Metabolic Rate: More muscle mass means a higher BMR—in other words, the body burns more calories at rest. That means avoiding weight gain is that much easier, which means your risk of prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes drops.

Insulin Sensitivity: More muscle mass also improves insulin sensitivity. Your muscles take in the glucose they need to function with less insulin, again lowering the risk of metabolic disease.

2 Physical Performance and Functionality: Strength and Stamina: If you’ve got a healthy amount of muscles, you simply live stronger. You’ve got what you need to power through your day, as well as do more demanding physical activities, whether that’s working out in a gym or having the endurance to go for a long, restorative walk.

Mobility and Balance: Having healthy muscle and bone is a boost to your mobility, balance and coordination. It’s your best insurance against taking a fall, which for older adults especially can be very dangerous (think: hip fractures).

3 Hormonal Balance: Hormone Production: Fat tissue plays a role in the production of hormones like estrogen. Having a healthy amount of body fat—not too much and not too little—is what we’re shooting for, to maintain optimal hormonal balance and reproductive health, not to mention mood and energy levels.

4 Mental Health: Body Image: A body composition that you’re happy with can be a great self-esteem booster.

Mental Well-Being: Having a healthier body composition makes regular physical activity that much more inviting, which further improves body

Age slower—and better—by monitoring your body composition.

We all have a pretty decent idea of the kinds of behaviors and habits that will quickly age a body; think the usual suspects like smoking, alcohol, sedentary living, poor diet, poor mental health and so on. But no matter your age, muscle mass is an extremely important part of maintaining your vitality, particularly when it comes to the essential youth-preservers mentioned above (i.e., healthy metabolism, strong physical performance, hormonal balance, mental health, longevity and immune response).

Focus on hanging on to your muscles, too!

What most people don’t realize, though, is that as they get older, especially as they approach 40, they lose muscle mass, more rapidly than they did in their 20s. So, if you’re coming up on a birthday milestone (and even if you’re not), now’s the time to work on building muscle and minimizing fat (in a healthy way) to help you hold the line. It really is never too late.

Beyond the natural aging process, though, there is another muscle underminer to be aware of, and that is very popular diabetes/weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. If you’ve been prescribed one of them, be it to help lower your A1C or to lose weight (or both), keep in mind that one very common side effect of these types of drugs is muscle loss, which can be considerable, in addition to the fat reduction many patients are after. So, it’s extremely important for people on these drugs to pay extra attention to doing more strength training, and closely monitoring body composition at frequent intervals along the way. drfranklipman.com 54

Hunt Slonem, “Untitled,” 2019

THE NATURAL WORLD

Hunt Slonem’s embrace of the divine, on view at Sag Harbor’s Grenning Gallery. student was especially pivotal—he was gifted an ocelot jacket for his 16th birthday, which served as a jumping-off point for his copious, spotted wild cat paintings. And yes, he had rabbits as a child. The first bunny painting he ever did, he recalls, was in a rendering of St. Martin de Porres, a patron saint of animals: “This was in the ’70s, I put a row of bunnies in the bottom of the painting.” Little did he know then the “Bunnies” would come to be one of his hallmarks.

More recently, his glittery paintings made in “diamond dust” have become a pop culture phenomenon, thanks in part to the Kardashian clan, who have purchased several.

Shown at some 80 galleries worldwide, with works in over 250 museums, the prolific painter shows no sign of slowing as he approaches age 74. The morning Purist visited his studio, he was hard at work on a large-scale painting of Moluccan cockatoos, his navy blue shirt dappled with fresh dollops of periwinkle, green and orange. “Art has the ability to heal people,” says Slonem, who lives four blocks from his studio with his partner of 16 years and their Siberian husky. “I derive 100 percent purpose in living from my painting—if I don’t paint, I just feel useless.” And he still maintains an almost childlike wonder and appreciation of the world around him.

“I’m just surrounded by this great beauty all of the time— birds and all these things that are of nature and the divine.” grenninggallery.com

Wandering through artist Hunt Slonem’s labyrinth-like multifloor studio space in Hell’s Kitchen feels a bit like being Alice lost in Wonderland: Slonem’s iconic bunny paintings pop up everywhere—there’s a full wall of the colorful, 8x10 bunnies in ornate antique frames—in addition to his famed works of birds, butterflies, ocelots and flowers. Turn a corner and witness a centerpiece vase full of colorful parrot feathers in multiple shades of blue—all from the flock Slonem’s shepherded over the years. He’s down to about a dozen now, who reside in a glass-encased aviary in the center of one floor, from the 80 or so he once had.

His solo show at Sag Harbor’s Grenning Gallery (on view from June 19 to July 13) offers a survey of recent works, an enchanted kingdom of delights, celebrating the natural world and the spiritual reverie his paintings engender. This sense of biophilia, he says, has “been with me my whole life—the exotic and colorful patterns of birds and butterflies just send me to the moon!”

The son of a Navy officer, Slonem was born in Maine, and moved every few years, bouncing from New Hampshire to Hawaii, and Washington state. “I grew up spiritual. I used to meditate as a child, with long walks through the woods,” he says. (Today, he attends services at St. Patrick’s Cathedral daily, and maintains a meditation practice.)

ON VIEW

Collaborating with fellow artist friends, Almond Zigmund creates a magical multimedia installation at Guild Hall called Wading Room, whose permanent collection supplies the furnishings for the “artist-designed environment” where visitors are encouraged to “linger, lounge and interact.” Says Zigmund of her installation: “It becomes a place where something is asked of the viewer: not passive looking, but active, bodily engagement with the environment.” Through July 13. 158 Main St., East Hampton; guildhall.org In an artful celebration of place, Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk enshrines the Irish-born artist’s ties to the East End, in particular the summer of ’82, when he spent a month in Montauk as a fellow of the Edward F. Albee Foundation—a pivotal place in Scully’s career, where the urban native first embraced natural phenomena in his paintings.

Through July 19. 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton, southamptonartscenter.org Curated by Eric Fischl and opening June 22, The Church’s Summer exhibition is The Ark, a group show celebrating rebirth after the deluge.

In a collaboration with the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum, The Ark also features a large wooden replica, moored on the Whaling Museum’s front lawn: a mode of transport becoming a stationary place, with visitors invited to leave their creative marks on the symbolic vessel with paint and other media. 48 Madison St., Sag Harbor; thechurchsagharbor.org The upstairs gallery at Sag Harbor Cinema hosts dramas on canvas by painter Sabina Streeter,

ETERNAL SPRING

In Flourish and Flow, curated by Unlimited Earth Care’s Frederico Azevedo, artist LUAP shares the transformative pleasures of nature.

that makes us happy, but in that place, we can spread seeds of change.”

Rendered in oil, the paintings are rich with physicality and subtle layering.

Edges blur, details soften and light pools across skin, water and cloth with painterly restraint.

Though the imagery is accessible, the emotional register remains open— resistant to fixed interpretation. LUAP uses the material to slow down perception, creating surfaces that invite prolonged viewing.

Unlimited Earth Care invites all who love art and nature to experience Flourish and Flow at the Garden Market. Spend an evening taking in the artwork and perusing Unlimited Earth Care’s curated collection of native and well-adapted plants and flowers, chosen to thrive in Hamptons gardens, as well as its selection of modern garden accessories, creative planters in sustainable materials and unique outdoor furniture to elevate the experience of nature at home.

The opening will be held on Saturday, June 28 from 4:30 to 7:30PM, with paintings and limited-edition prints available for purchase from the artist. Unlimited Earth Care Garden Market, 2249 Scuttle Hole Road, Bridgehampton; unlimitedearthcare.com

Flourish and Flow marks a significant evolution in British artist Paul Robinson aka LUAP’s ongoing exploration of identity, reflection and emotional presence.

Curated by Frederico Azevedo and set within the immersive natural setting of the Hamptons, the exhibition features seven new oil paintings in which LUAP’s recurring figure— the Pink Bear— moves through a series of quietly transformative encounters with the landscape.

These works extend LUAP’s practice beyond symbolic imagery and into atmospheric narrative. The Bear, a consistent yet mutable protagonist, is shown not as spectacle but as participant—reclining, rowing, pausing, drifting—absorbed into environments shaped by water, foliage, light and time. Across the series, the Bear becomes less a subject to be observed and more a vessel for experience—one that reflects the viewer’s own internal tempo.

“My idea to curate this exhibition is to remind people that there is a place in each one of us where there is always spring,” says Unlimited Earth Care founder Frederico Azevedo. “This place can be inside of us or somewhere 64

Inside, four calming treatment rooms set the tone for an exceptional menu of holistic rituals, alongside hotel-only perks like a lap pool, 24-hour sauna and lounge. “Hotels have always provided a natural home base for our spas,” says Naturopathica CEO Cathy O’Brien. “Topping Rose House offers a luxurious level of high-touch hospitality that creates a tranquil environment for our guests to heal.”

Mastery of the Craft.

It’s Timeless.

WEEKEND

MUSIC IN THE MOUNTAINS Jim Horowitz, founder of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Festival, has a particularly unique way of experiencing the JAS June Experience, which will take place June 26 to 29 in downtown Aspen this summer. “I bang around town on an e-bike,” he shares with a laugh. “It’s a hard thing for me, in that I have a sense of wanting to know what’s going on overall, which is impossible because the events overlap. I don’t get the pleasure that an average attendee does, of just lingering. It’s an interesting perspective.”

Now in its 32nd season, the premier music festival was inspired by its prestigious sister festival in Marciac, France, which Horowitz had once attended. This year’s lineup features 40-plus diverse musical performances at 12 different venues, including the Limelight Hotel, Bad Harriet, the Wheeler Opera House lobby and the Aspen Art Museum.

Featured performers range from guitarist and vocalist Christone “Kingfish” Ingram to Thai-born drummer Salin, vocalist Shayna Steele, the Parlor Greens Hammond B-3 organ trio, and the JAS Academy Big Band, conducted

by Christian McBride. “It’s a great diversity of artists, taking place in small boutique venues that are very intimate,” notes Horowitz. “We do not oversell the tickets, so people can move around and enjoy the performances.”

Accompanying the musical performances will be VIP Donor dinners Friday and Saturday, cocktails and a show

by Cool Cool Cool on Thursday, and a Sunday brunch (open to the public), all at the VIP Tent at Rio Grande Park.

Beyond the festival is the long-anticipated opening of the Paul JAS Center located in the historic Red Onion building on East Cooper Avenue in town, which is scheduled for a soft opening sometime this fall. “It’s gotten very real lately,” notes Horowitz. “It will be the biggest thing we’ll have going when we are not doing festivals.”

Included in the intimate space, which will fill a niche as a gathering place that hasn’t existed in town before, will be a permanent year-round performance center, an event space, an intimate venue for JAS Café performances and an educational facility for public school students. There will also be a bar, a world-class studio for recording, teaching, and broadcasting, an elevated stage, and a green room for performing artists.

Should you be fortunate enough to attend this summer’s festival, enjoy the shows, and keep an eye out for Horowitz tooling around on his bike. jazzaspensnowmass.org/june-experience-2025

HIGHER GROUND

with complete happiness and no trauma—even unintentional trauma. We build our own armor to protect ourselves from the insults of life. The reality is learning to embrace yourself, flaws and all. Sometimes, the flaws you’re most afraid to show become your strengths.

PURIST: When I worked for you, I watched you negotiate Erin Brockovich and My Best Friend’s Wedding, breaking glass ceilings. Julia Roberts became the highest-paid actress in the world. You made Hollywood history and forever changed the landscape for women in Hollywood. Your heroine, Beanie Rosen, never takes no for an answer—reminding me so much of you. Were the lessons from her father, Harry, drawn from your own father?

EGT: There is a little of Beanie in me, truth be told. Harry Rosen in the book is an insurance salesman, and so was my father. My father believed in what he sold.

It was never a story or a gimmick, or a lie.

He believed you should get to know the person you were selling to, because if you could find an overlap—and he said there are always overlaps with good people— then you could connect and convert a no into a yes. If you could connect, you could sell. My father was the salesman. My mother was the scorekeeper. I became a product of both.

PURIST: Looking back at your career, what advice would you give your younger self?

EGT: Something my father used to say to me: “Everything’s gonna be OK.” The time you spend worrying and secondguessing and kicking yourself—it’s such a waste. Everything is going to be OK.

PURIST: Let’s talk about your book, Climbing in Heels. It’s cleverly written—a historical fiction novel of three colorful young women, bursting through Hollywood’s triple-bolted men’s club door.

What was the impetus behind writing it?

Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas: I wanted to write a fictional novel that was based in fact, because so often people ask me, “What was it like?” or “How did you get where you are?” And it’s only when I stopped and looked back that I remembered the treacherous climb.

PURIST: You’re already working on your next high-profile project, Office Romance, with your business partner and best friend, Jennifer Lopez. That same energy and focus—your characters have it, too.

Where does your drive come from?

EGT: I don’t believe the adage, “You only live once.” I believe you only die once. So why not take every opportunity to live your best life every day? If you want to just do one thing your whole life, God bless you. But if you want to do more, go for it. Don’t waste your time limiting yourself to what other people expect you to be. I think I have always been a writer, but that didn’t stop me from being an agent who became a producer. I would be very sad if I lived by the edict of what other people thought was right for me. Passions change.

Elaine Lives change. Don’t be afraid to change Goldsmithdirection. Life is about the pivot. There Thomas are no limits to opportunity. The only thing stopping you is you.

PURIST: This magazine promotes wellness. When readers encounter these characters—flawed, struggling, human— what do you hope they take away?

EGT: I think it’s unrealistic to believe someone is born 82

Seven reasons to greet the outdoors every day this summer. BY DR. STACIE STEPHENSON There’s nothing like that first whiff of summer when you step outside and, for the first time in months, feel the warming sun, see a bright blue sky and take in the beauty of all the burgeoning greenery. You may even say something like, “Ah, summer, at last! My favorite season!” before you…go back inside and check your email?

Yes, those emails need to be answered (mostly), but a glimpse of early summer followed by a return to an indoor routine is no way to spend June and July. Before you know it, the leaves will turn, so don’t let summer pass you by this year. I’ve got seven great reasons why you should go outside every day this season: 1 Get more vitamin D. For strong bones, teeth and muscles, a healthy immune system and optimized brain function, you need vitamin D. You could take a supplement, but we are designed to get vitamin D from the sun. Chances are, like most Americans, your vitamin D is on the lower side, especially if you don’t live in a tropical climate. But how do you get that sunshine benefit without burning or risking skin cancer? It’s all in the timing. Head outside for just 10 minutes every day and sit in the sun. What a great way to enjoy your morning coffee or tea! Listen to the birds, smell the flowers or meditate on your day. If you notice the skin on your arms flushing slightly, it’s working. After 10 minutes, head back in and slather on your (nontoxic) sunblock to protect your skin for the rest of the day. Ten minutes is all you need, which isn’t long enough to burn.

2 Regulate your circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock that influences your biochemistry in ways that help you wake up in the morning and fall asleep at night. It controls the release of certain hormones, your body temperature and your energy level. Circadian rhythm is responsive to light cues. When people used to spend more time outside, the body adapted to light and dark by releasing melatonin after sunset to bring on drowsiness, and cortisol after sunrise to increase alertness. Being inside all the time—especially looking at screens or having the lights turned up in the evening—can confuse the circadian rhythm and lead to sleep issues. Nature to the rescue.

Exposure to sunlight in the morning will help you detect the cues to release cortisol and wake you up. Watching the sunset, then minimizing bright lights and screen time in the evening, will help your body detect the cues to release

lake or along a beach, the blue color of the water is good therapy. It can also lower heart rate and blood pressure and induce a sense of serenity and peace. Or look up at a big blue sky and watch the clouds for a while. Let nature be your therapist this summer. There is no more soothing activity than exposure to trees, water and sky.

5 Dine like a European. A common practice in Europe is to eat outside. Many Europeans have an outdoor dining table and enjoy their meals alfresco whenever possible. You may not want to eat outside every day, but then again, why not?

Set out a few bug-repelling candles and your nicest dishes and linger over your meal. And what a great way to enjoy summer’s bounty—perhaps a meal created from the fresh vegetables you just brought home from the farmers market?

6 Visit more farmers markets. What nicer way to spend a Saturday morning than to browse the stalls at your local farmers market to discover what is locally grown and seasonal? Farmers markets are more than just a source of fresh produce. You can meet the farmers themselves, learn how they grow your food, hear about their food philosophies, sample vegetables or fruits you’ve never tried before (ever had a pawpaw or an aronia berry?) and get ideas for food prep. The great thing about fresh, seasonal produce is that you hardly have to do anything to it to make it delicious. Toss a big salad and roast a tray of fresh veggies, or lightly saute them for an elegant side dish.

Farmers markets often also have fresh local meat, poultry, fresh-caught fish, fresh eggs, homemade bread and flowers. They also may offer fun gift items like clothes, jewelry and art. Shopping outdoors? Count me in!

7 Slow down time. When you are busy, it’s so easy to miss the beautiful parts of life that you never see if you never stop to look. This summer, let nature tempt you to venture out, breathe, look around and notice the natural world.

Feel your place in it and let your mind wander wherever it wants. Think about who you are, what you want out of your life and what nature has to teach you. Let summer slow you down, giving you the space to pay attention rather than rushing through the days.

I advocate taking 10 or 15 minutes for yourself at the beginning and end of each day. I do this on most days (it is the focal point of the 90-day program in my book Glow), but this summer, I plan to take my meditative time outdoors.

It’s illuminating to notice how this can mark the days more meaningfully and give you the space to reflect on your goals, aspirations and priorities. Whether you spend your nature time walking, hiking, exercising or just observing, you’ll be surprised by the little ways you will transform. And when fall comes, as it will all too soon, you can look back and say, “I had a great summer!” drstaciestephenson.com

Soaking up nature this season can supercharge your vitamin D levels and reset your inner clock for deeper balance.

melatonin, so you can feel sleepy on cue and get a good night’s rest. Could watching the sun set every evening become your new summer habit?

1 Mix up your exercise. Gyms are great for those who enjoy them, but why exercise inside when the weather is divine?

Walking, hiking, biking, running and swimming are all natural ways to get moving while also benefiting from nature’s calming and mood-boosting effects. Walking or hiking on uneven terrain can also up your exercise game by challenging balance and coordination—just watch your step! The fresh air you get when you exercise vigorously outside is invigorating and good for your lungs. Even if you only stroll through a park, a daily outdoor exercise session will help you manage stress and lower your blood pressure.

You might even find you get your most creative ideas when exercising outdoors. Save the gym for rainy days.

4 Get free color therapy. Did you know that looking at the color green is good for relieving stress and improving mental health? Green is associated with nature, and somewhere deep in our brains, courtesy of our ancestors, we respond favorably to it. Psychologists have assessed the physical and psychological effects of green exposure and have found it promotes relaxation and calm. Being around trees and greenery lowers heart rate and blood pressure, decreases anxiety, lifts mild depression and makes you feel better. And what about blue? If you are lucky enough to live near the water, or if you can take a short trip to hike or walk around a 88

SPICE IT UP

Chef Justin Pichetrungsi adds Thai flavor to this year’s Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.

purveyors. Our seafood is from the West Coast and Japan.”

Thai cooking, he notes, “is very pantry- and ingredientheavy. It’s not like olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper type of cuisine, which is great. Thai food is just so complex and needs so many things. The one thing that I love about Thai food is that you can go in so many different directions as long as you understand the base proportions or just the foundational idea or philosophy behind these cooking techniques.”

How can people somewhat easily incorporate Thai flavors and seasonings into their athome repertoire? For starters, he says, you’ll need a Krok, which is a Thai clay mortar and pestle.

You can use this, for instance, to make a Thai chile dip called nam prik noom. “It’s very simple—you grill a bunch of chiles, shallots and garlic, and you pound it all together until it turns into a paste,” advises the chef. “It’s spicy and green and has this baba ganoushtype texture. It’s great for summer entertaining.”

And if you’re in Sherman Oaks, you’ll want to snag a reservation for Pichetrungsi’s flavorful cuisine. Anajak Thai is still very much a family business to this day. “I have my dad taste all the food, and he gives me copious notes. My mom still cuts all the mangoes for mango sticky rice. It’s a lot of standing there—she’s an old lady now, but it’s fitting for her in some ways. She really enjoys it, and she takes her sweet, sweet time. You can see her in the back, doing her thing.” Her traditional confection was even noted in the Michelin Guide as one of the city’s best desserts. “I was like, Oh, now this is going to really inflate her ego,” he says with a good-natured laugh. “It’s going to be a real problem for me.” Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, June 20-22; classic.foodandwine.com

Who better to show home cooks how to bring the Thai heat than the James Beard Award winner for Best Chef California 2023?

Justin Pichetrungsi, chef and owner of Anajak Thai, named LA’s Restaurant of the Year by the LA Times, will present “No Rules, No Limits, Thai Cooking My Way.” The former Disney animator grew up in the family business, and returned to take the helm after his father suffered a stroke in 2019, taking a leave of absence from his decade-long animation career and never returning. He found his groove in no time, putting his own stamp on the restaurant’s menu.

“I just started cooking, and in the misinterpretation of my Chef Justin father’s recipes is where I found Pichetrungsi my style. It’s when you fail to become your heroes that you find yourself—I think that is what generational cuisine is about,” says the Food & Wine Best New Chef 2022. “I don’t think that I could ever have planned any of this. But I really wanted to do it, and I saw a lot of value in keeping the restaurant alive and working with my parents. So, it was equal parts duty and passion for the restaurant.”

The first thing he did was introduce a new wine list. “I really like dry rieslings. Our list has some of the greatest riesling producers in humanity—they provide this electricity and zing and an excitement to prime the palate but also cool it down at the same time,” says Pichetrungsi, who can also be seen judging talent on TV’s Top Chef. Next, he changed the way the restaurant sources its ingredients. “I bought produce from the Santa Monica farmers market and now almost all of our produce comes from California. All of our pork is from Yosemite in California. All of our chicken is from California.

All of our beef is from New Mexico and these really great 92

GARDEN PARTY

Emerald green with hints of spice and sweetness and delightfully herbaceous notes, The Gardener cocktail has long been a fan favorite at Matsuhisa. Now, it can be enjoyed at home, thanks to the ready-toserve Gardenista. Todd Clark, who manages the three locations of Matsuhisa in Colorado, and spirits expert Kevin Berg and his team, spent the better part of a year taste-testing until they landed on just the right formula.

“It took us 49 recipes before we said, ‘That’s perfect—let’s bottle it,” says Clark. Just 98 calories per serving, the beverage is glutenfree and the liquor content is 15 percent— “not too high and not too low,” he adds.

Gardenista comes in three varieties, made with high-quality tequila, vodka and bourbon, each of which has its own distinct flavor profile. For instance, the wood barrels of the bourbon add notes like vanilla, and for the vodka, which is a neutral spirit, they added a little rosewater. “That one is really fresh and clean, with almost a melon profile,” notes Clark. “The flavors for the original Gardener are cilantro, ginger, fresh lime, serrano pepper and a little bit of organic simple syrup, and then the spirit. We took all those ingredients and we added a little bit of thyme as well.”

The best way to drink this cocktail?

“Just pour it over ice or put it in a shaker and shake it until chilled, and then pour it straight up. Some people just keep it in the refrigerator and they’re drinking it neat out of the refrigerator. Or try it on ice with a splash of seltzer or club soda to add a little spritz profile.”

So dynamic and flavorful, this beverage calls you back for more. “It’s not heavy, it’s a drink you can enjoy from brunch to midnight, at a late-night party watching the DJ set,” says Clark. “It’s also a great beverage with food. It would be perfect at a summer barbecue—it’s definitely refreshing.” drinkgardenista.com

It took 49 recipes to perfect Gardenista’s bright, herbaceous blend.

My father, Stan Love, was a star player at the University of Oregon and played several years in the NBA, most notably with the Baltimore Bullets and the LA Lakers. My favorite memories with my dad come from playing basketball in the driveway with him and my older brother, Collin.

My dreams to follow in my dad’s footsteps were pretty immediate.

How do you honor the spirit of your child?

My daughter is on my mind at all times.

Therefore she factors into just about every decision I make. I honor her by making a conscious effort to do better and be better.

St. Lucia’s husband and wife duo, JeanPhilip Grobler and Patti Beranek, will introduce songs from their double record, Fata Morgana.

ELECTRO GROOVES St. Lucia bring the energetic synth-pop vibes to Montauk.

Grobler, “It can look like a Rorschach test that seems to be floating above, and then below it is a reverse reflection.”

While the first side is “quite experimental” in Grobler’s words, with a distinctly ’60s-’70s psychedelic feel and epic strings adding to the vibe, the second side, including newly released single “Crimes of Passion,” is more in keeping with St. Lucia’s classic ’80s electro-pop-inflected bouncy hits (“Elevate,” “Dancing on Glass,” “Touch”). “We just run as true as we can to our muse and the creative process and not second-guess it,” says Grobler about the current batch of songs.

Along with the new tunes comes a new look: “We’ve been developing this whole visual concept, with me and Patti wearing the same uniform,” says Grobler, of the matching hats and monochrome jumpsuits the pair don in videos and onstage. “It draws on all sorts of influences like Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain and Salvador Dalí—there’s a lot of surrealism to it.” Adds Beranek, “it’s a dream world.” Fitting.

St. Lucia play The Surf Lodge on July 6, thesurflodge.com, and Solé East on August 9, soleeast.com.

No one elevates a summer evening quite like indie synthpop band St. Lucia. Fronted by husband-and-wife duo Jean-Philip Grobler and Patti Beranek, the quintet has been rousing Montauk crowds for the past decade with their annual high-energy gigs at The Surf Lodge and Solé East.

This year marks their 12th at the outdoor stage overlooking Fort Pond. “I think if we don’t play The Surf Lodge at this point it’s bad juju—maybe Jayma [Cardosa, The Surf Lodge founder] thinks the same,” says Beranek.

Though the couple moved from Brooklyn to Konstanz, Germany, near where Beranek grew up, during the early stages of the pandemic, they still relish summer nights in Montauk. “We just love it all—the vibe, the people, and it’s just become a little ritual. We have the best time. It’s a very small stage, but we love that because we’re so tight and sweaty. For me that’s the highlight of summer.”

This season, they’ll be debuting songs off their double record, Fata Morgana, the second half of which was just released. “The title means a form of mirage—the conditions have to be exactly right, and it usually happens over water of a flat piece of land,” says Beranek. Adds 114

miss,” she steals a kiss from her idol. Vega confesses to similarly smooching Dylan’s cheek after a concert they both headlined. “He blinked, and I think that was 12 years ago, and I’ve never seen him since,” she says with a laugh. “So that bit about stealing a kiss is actually true.” The potential stealth hit of the collection is “Love Thief,” with a sultry Vega adding cerebral edge to a luscious rhythm track inspired by Bobby Womack’s 1972 classic “Woman’s Gotta Have It.” A time-honored troubadour, Vega has the advantage of being able to pack up her songs and guitar and hit the road, no large backing band necessary. This year’s tour includes stops in Amsterdam, Berlin and the U.K., with Stephen Talkhouse penciled in for July 13 at 7PM (the following evening, Vega plays Town Hall in Manhattan).

What does she most look forward to as her Hamptons concert date approaches, aside from a few nights in her Amagansett summer home? “Friends who are very local have been asking me for years to play Stephen Talkhouse,” says Vega. “I told my management that we should get that on the calendar, so that all my friends can come, and we can all have a little party after.” stephentalkhouse.com

BY JIM SERVIN “Whenever I write something, it tends to be a response to what’s in the moment,” says singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, whose long musical journey was built on her quietly powerful voice, her catalog of poetic songs (“Luka,” “Tom’s Diner,” “Marlene on the Wall,” “The Queen and the Soldier” and “Caramel,” among others), a strong work ethic and an adventurous spirit, as demonstrated in her 2011 onewoman, off-Broadway musical portrait of a literary great, Carson McCullers Talks About Love. “The other thing to know,” continues Vega, “is that my writing tends to come from problems of the moment, and things that bring with them a certain bewilderment. It’s my way of making sense in the world. And right now, there’s a lot to make sense out of. I’m genuinely trying to figure it out. And I mean everything—personally, politically—in every way.”

Flying With Angels, Vega’s just-released 10th studio album, produced by David Bowie collaborator Gerry Leonard, has a charged immediacy, fueled by the artist’s mission to place her stamp on chaotic times. The deeply moving chorus of “Last Train From Mariupol,” seeks understanding of the war in Ukraine. “Speakers’ Corner” takes aim at keyboard critics: “It’s the idea that we’ve drifted very far from facts and from values,” says Vega. The haunting title track references Vega’s journey as caretaker for her husband, Paul Mills, a poet and civil rights lawyer who has suffered a stroke and is slowly regaining his ability to speak. “I hope they stay with me, until I can get you home,” she sings, of benevolent forces by her side. “He’s making progress, every day, every week,” Vega reports of the man she first met when she was in college, and married 19 years ago. “That gives me hope.” Ethereal “Alley” expresses longing for transcendence, and contains the sublime line: “One day you’ll know me, shimmering above like Marc Chagall in love.”

Vega’s trademark cool wit is very much in play. In the punky “Rats,” she takes a snapshot of a vermin-infested New York City. “Lucinda” has Vega clocking the moves of fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams: “She’s a Dusty Springfield of the South, leatherette pants and a pale pink mouth.” Another music icon, Bob Dylan, is honored in “Chambermaid,” inspired by his song, “I Want You,” from the Blonde on Blonde album. Told from the imagined point of view of Dylan’s domestic who “took nothing he would

THE LEGEND

Lenny Kravitz rocks Aspen.

Maybe it’s the healthy lifestyle he adopted, or maybe it’s his genes: His mom, Roxie Roker, was television royalty (she played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons). But more likely it’s the purity of his convictions.

True rock stars aren’t made, they’re born.

In the case of Lenny Kravitz, not only did he arrive fully baked and glimmering, he never stopped. From the outset, his music announced that he was in love. Not only with the classic rock of the ’60s (and the Beatles in particular) but with love itself.

He was like a steamroller of flower power: resistance to that Cheshire cat grin, that velvet howl and those perfect guitar solos was futile.

Musically, Kravitz is more than the sum of the influences he wears proudly on his fringed sleeves. Every fiber of his being is stained with the theatrics of Jimi Hendrix ripping a solo to shreds with his teeth and the orgasmic yowl of Robert Plant. He looks like he was born with mirror shades on, but the image isn’t some sort of cosplay; it’s an organic expression of who he is at a cellular level. Despite decades of being an actual bona fide rock star, the six-pack abs never turned to flab, the waist-length dreadlocks never went gray—even when he cut them off, he just looked younger.

On August 30, when Kravitz headlines Jazz Aspen Snowmass’ 2025 JAS Labor Day Experience, you can hear how he effortlessly blends rock, funk and soul into something timeless, organic and vibey as hell. You’ll notice you may also feel like hugging whoever is dancing next to you.

As Kravitz wrote in his 2020 memoir, Let Love Rule: “Whether recording, performing or writing a book, my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together.” jazzaspensnowmass.org

was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.)

The new material she’s working on, she says, is indirectly inspired by the current political climate. “I never really write anything that is directly political, but there’s definitely a feeling of, ‘must be nice to be on your high horse and just not give a shit about anybody else.’ There are a couple of songs with that flavor, which definitely picks up on the political zeitgeist—people making decisions about other people’s lives.”

Throughout her career, she’s explored themes around despair, addiction, general ennui and overall mental health (her 2017 album, which took home a Grammy for Best Folk Album, is even called Mental Illness—in a kind of self-deprecating “I’m just going to own it” title that speaks to her well-trod domain). This fertile ground of our interior worlds has fascinated her since childhood, she says. “It’s kind of like a fun puzzle to figure out what’s going on with yourself: Why am I having these feelings? Why do I behave this way? Why do other people behave this way?”

Speaking of puzzles, when it comes to wellness rituals, her go-to is just what one might expect: “Does playing Wordle and Connections and Spelling Bee in The New York Times app count?” canoeplace.com

Leave it to Aimee Mann to celebrate the, yes, 22-and-ahalf-year anniversary of one of her iconic albums, Lost in Space—with a fresh vinyl reprint and a tour built around it, including a stop at Canoe Place Inn on June 12. “For one reason or the other, we were a little slow off the mark to get the vinyl out on the 20th,” admits Mann, an acclaimed songwriter famed for her dry wit and insightful lyrics. “We didn’t really think people cared that much if it was exactly on an anniversary.”

Any time is a great time to revisit these finely realized portraits in song—filled with indelible melodies and astute observations of the human condition—but it feels particularly resonant yet again in 2025. “That record has a really dark, kind of lost flavor—and it fits right in with the current mood I think everybody’s in,” says Mann, speaking from her LA home, rows of bookshelves behind her.

Mann, who first rose to pop fame in the ’80s with ’Til Tuesday, has always had a knack for capturing the feel of the times. This is a writer so brilliant her songs—especially “Deathly” with its lyric “Now that I’ve met you, would you object to never seeing each other again?”—inspired Paul Thomas Anderson to write the screenplay for his hit 1999 film Magnolia.

Bowie cuts from a new Bowie show I’m doing, and some originals from Anthem: Homunculus, my fictional podcast musical with Glenn Close and Cynthia Erivo. And some songs from my lockdown album. It’ll be a grab bag and also a kumbaya moment, an antifascist sing-along.

RR: You’ve got a lot in the works right now.

JCM: I’m also working on a memoir, and a new play about a Nazi resistance artist named Claude Cahun, which I’m doing a reading of in June starring Holly Hunter. And I’ve got a podcast out called “Cancellation Island,” about a fictional rehab for canceled people.

RR: You’re always doing these creative endeavors across many media. How do you keep refilling the well?

JCM: Well, that fills it. Each project replenishes the well from a spring, let’s say, below the Earth. Then you always have some life-sustaining liquid to move forward because you are, in effect, pumping it with creativity—pumping it out of the ground with these projects, and opening yourself up to new collaborators. I live in New Orleans now, and it is very much a “Hey, how are you doing” to a stranger on the street kind of place. “What are you up to? I love what you’re wearing.” It reminds me a bit of New York in the ’80s when I came, minus the AIDS. It was frayed and falling apart but arty and collaborative. And it’s this hurricanehardened hospitality that is just the ticket for today. As long as everyone is contributing, that leads to wellness. With actual collaboration, it’s even been scientifically proven that people are happier and live longer. guildhall.org

Ray Rogers: What’s your favorite form of resistance in the second Trump era?

John Cameron Mitchell: Funny you should ask, as I’m just today pitching an op-ed about my college tour where I was going to talk about Hedwig and it ended up being like: “OK guys, you can’t cancel a dictator. Stop with the identity politics, learn about punk and get laid while you’re at it.”

RR: What’s giving you hope during these turbulent times?

JCM: It’s being with these young people who, though their youth had been blunted by COVID and screens, still have this great hope in their eyes. So, reminding them that IRL [in real life], being there with your buddies, making something in person that is useful in some way is the beginning of climbing out of your anxiety and depression, and then gives you a bit of a foundation to think about what’s next as things become clearer. My advice to everybody who is on the left is: Ease up on the identity politics. Learn about punk. Learn about AIDS activism, which was applied punk. Things were worse for me and for our friends in the ’80s—they were dropping like flies—and a group of people stepped up and saved us. That gives me hope.

I really feel that Americans are too ornery to actually be dictated to fully. They like a daddy, some people, but once they’ve lost their health care, and the economy has tanked, this will change quickly. I’m a worried optimist here.

RR: What do you have in store for Guild Hall on June 7?

JCM: Well, since it’s only one guitarist with me, it will be more of a campfire version of Hedwig classics, some deep 118

Co-founders Hinds and keyboardist Selwyn Brown still remain; another original band member, Dr. Mykaell Riley, is now a prominent U.K. academic and propelled the British Library’s recent hit expo about Black U.K. culture, Beyond the Bassline. Steel Pulse are virtually the last remaining active band of that bold U.K. mid-1970s generation, including The Clash, who threw what Bob Marley called the “Punky Reggae Party.” That alliance between beleaguered punk and Rasta youth helped prompt the formation of an enduring grassroots organization, Rock Against Racism. “We know our calling is to spread our idea of roots, and that it be heard worldwide,” Hinds tells Purist.

Let’s rejoice that his prophecy is being fulfilled. Catch them while you can. canoeplace.com

“Steel Pulse have always put our own different spin, lyrically and politically, on what’s going on out there,” says Steel Pulse’s singer/songwriter and front man, David Hinds.

The scope of the band’s international 50th anniversary tour is a testament to their remarkable durability. Indeed, as their name suggests, Steel Pulse have been sending out their tough, conscious reggae messages, like smoke signals, without a break, for half a century.

To celebrate this impressive anniversary, have your dancing shoes ready for their show at Canoe Place Inn & Cottages’ Grand Ballroom on June 29. And please keep your mind switched on, along with your ears.

Johannes Kopf

Beyond choreography, what sets CTB apart is the way it uses movement and creativity to teach essential life skills in a safe space: Positivity, kindness and respect are at the heart of its programming. A structured, upbeat goodbye ritual, often with musical call-and-response lines like “B-OD-Y! Healthy, strong and super fly,” instills these values and healthy habits in a playful, deeply felt way. “Every child is seen,” says artistic executive director Kris Walsh. “We move the room around to face different directions, so no child is ever hidden in the back. Everyone participates, and has an opportunity to feel successful in every class.”

A strong foundation of trust opens the door to deeper conversations, particularly with middle schoolers navigating the awkward terrain of fluctuating hormones, bodies and oftentimes, self-image. “Sometimes, they’ll quietly tell me they don’t feel good and don’t think they can do anything,” Walsh says. “I’ll then remind them that maybe they should participate today more than ever, that exercising can help us feel better.”

In an age of rising anxiety and isolation among youth—what experts call a loneliness epidemic—Celebrate the Beat offers a potent antidote: movement as medicine, community as support, and creativity as a path to personal growth. ctbeat.org

For 25 years, the Colorado-based nonprofit Celebrate the Beat has offered more than just dance instruction to students. It’s provided a powerful framework for social, emotional and physical well-being, one step at a time.

Founded by Tracy Straus, CTB was born from the dancer-actress’s own story of transformation through movement.

Growing up with scoliosis, dance became Straus’ sanctuary—her one-hour window of daily freedom without a back brace. “It became my safe haven,” she says, “my most important place of actually finding mental, physical and spiritual wellness.”

Years later, after training with ballet dancer and choreographer Jacques d’Amboise and serving as associate artistic director at New York City’s National Dance Institute, Straus brought her experience westward, launching Celebrate the Beat as an outreach program for Aspen Santa Fe Ballet.

Since then the organization, which offers both in- and after-school programming led by professional teaching artists, has expanded from serving 150 children a year to over 2,500, reaching over 8,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic when CTB shifted gears, creating over 200 virtual resources for families—including dance and movement videos—all with an emphasis on holistic wellness.

Today, CTB partners with schools across several Colorado counties and in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, to deliver customizable in-school programs, culminating in one final performance.

Bridgehampton. Informed by an aesthetic that transcends centuries while celebrating the best of what’s new, Matthews Lane joins the growing resume of highly styled, fully furnished Hampton estates originally produced by James Michael Howard, the renowned ICAA award-winning designer, that exemplify coherency in the abstract world of architecture, interiors and the landscape that contain them. In collaboration with McAlpine-Tankersley Architecture and Landscape Details, Howard completed this 7-bedroom residence in 2017 spanning 11,600 SF on three levels of fully articulated living space. Now being made available by stylish owners on the move who have put their own stamp on the estate, the journey begins as you pass under the porte-cochere and into the reception hall. The dramatic great room, under 30 ft. beamed ceilings, incorporates multiple seating areas, dining room and gallery, all warmed by a custom fireplace that anchors the room while walls of windows allow for an abundance of natural light. The state-of-the-art, eat-in kitchen, with 10-seat breakfast area, is warmed by its own fireplace. Additional common spaces include the media room and an intimate living room. The 1st floor primary wing with sitting area, fireplace and luxurious bath is joined upstairs by 4 guest suites including a secondary primary suite with roof terrace. The bedrooms are purposely positioned so that none have common walls. An elevator connects all floors to the lower level with two more-bedroom suites, a tiered state-of-the-art theater with plush 16-person seating, powder room, gym and large recreation room with fireplace and custom billiards table. Antiqued, hand-hewn oak flooring, geothermal heating, Control 4 technology, Lutron lighting and a full audio/visual package enhance the property’s list of amenities. The lush, manicured grounds behind stone walls, including specimen trees, espalier apples and verdant lawn, are enhanced by the 18’ X 60’ heated pool and spa serviced by a covered cabana area that incorporates the pool house with full bath and dressing room, outdoor fireplace and built-in kitchen which connects over broad stone patios to the two-car garage. Being made available turnkey to the extreme, Matthews Lane lies midway between village and ocean beaches off Bridgehampton’s iconic Ocean Road and close to everything that makes the Hamptons a world-class resort.

NUMEROLOGY

A by-the-numbers look at Bob Dylan, the legendary singer-songwriter who performs at the Outlaw Music Festival at Jones Beach on August 1.

125,000,000 Throughout his career, Dylan recorded 40 studio albums, selling more than 125 million worldwide.

3

In addition to his Grammy wins, the singer has received other major awards in his career: the Pulitzer Prize in 2008, the U.S. Medal of Freedom in 2012

by President Barack Obama and the Nobel Prize in literature for creating “new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

10 Dylan has won 10 Grammys, including three for his 1997 album Time Out of Mind, a project that many critics believed to be a return from a “long artistic slump.”

11

The artist has been the subject of 11 documentaries, and has appeared as himself in 36 films.

600 In addition to being a talented singer himself, Dylan wrote over 600 songs that were recorded by over 2,000 artists all over the world, setting the standard for lyric composition.

“May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.”

300 MILLION In 2020, Dylan sold the rights to his entire song catalog to Universal Music for an undisclosed fee; however, The New York Times claimed the deal could be worth more than $300 million.

128

84,000 Despite being a Woodstock resident at the time, the singer did not play at the 1969 festival because he received a better offer to headline at the Isle of Wight music festival instead, earning $84,000 to play, with members of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles in the audience.

100

Although slowing down his touring schedule, he has played roughly 100 gigs a year for the past 20 years.

Just nine months after moving to New York City to pursue his music career, Dylan was signed to Columbia Records.
