Pink House Alchemy HQ Stirs Up Unique Mixture of Arts
Pink House Alchemy HQ debuts as an art gallery tonight — and patrons can rest assured it’s just as unique as one might expect from an Emily Lawson project.
“Pink House Alchemy is a Fayetteville based maker of simple syrups, bitters and shrubs,” explains Lawson, the founder of Pink House Alchemy. “The new headquarters on College Avenue is a combination storefront, gallery, event space and cafe” with coffee and sodas made with handmade flavoring, as well as arts events and parties.
Tonight’s guest is Little Rock artist Lakey Goff, whose ethereal paintings “focus on the holiness of remembrance and include themes of dreams, meditation, nature intelligence and the angelic realm.”
“My purpose is to elevate others to higher consciousness,” says Goff, who also calls herself Siri RajDeva. “We already have the wisdom in our bodies; we just need to remember [and] step into the unknown in a state of pure innocence.”
Goff practices Kundalini yoga, which she describes as “the yoga of awareness … an ancient yogic science to manage your energy. When we manage our energy through meditation, breath work, mudras, mantras, we access our highest creative potential. It’s a technology that gives you stamina plus energy plus vitality and awareness.”
Goff says Kundalini yoga found her several years ago “at a turning point in my life.”
“It has changed the trajectory of my life in the most profound, miraculous way,” she explains. “I went into teacher training to heal, to learn discipline, to have an experience with my soul. Our discipline is our freedom. Teaching Kundalini yoga is about being a clear vessel for the ancient practice to empower others, so they can experience their creative potential in every way.”
During tonight’s art opening, Goff will offer aura readings for $65, and she will also lead a meditation and Kundalini yoga class at Pink House Alchemy HQ from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday. The cost for the yoga class is $18.
Chef Michael Robertshaw and Meredith Butlers of food truck Persphone on Wheels will also be on site tonight, and drinks will be served by Pink House Alchemy.
