INSTINCT Defense Academy offers solutions with proven efficacy.During this three-hour course you will learn about: the triangle of victimization, how to avoid becoming a victim through situational awareness, the 4 phases of an attack and how to defend against each phase, the undercover predator and how to spot and defeat them, verbal, emotional and physical self-defense, and college concerns.

April ShowReception: Sunday, April 14, 2-4, free Join us for refreshments and meet our Featured Artists. Take in the show and remember to cast a vote for your favorite artwork for the People's Choice award! Darla Boljat, Featured Artist:The theme behind this show is creating, displaying and sharing art that conveys the feeling of awe I experience when viewing the subject. I remember the places and subjects that evoke joy or peace for me and those images, and the feelings associated with them, will pop up in my mind until painted. One of the techniques I used in these paintings includes layers in acrylic paint to “sketch” the image and apply background color where needed. This allows me to create texture if necessary, to help the viewer feel as if they are in nature. For most I paint in oils on top of the acrylic, which enhances the color, shadow and light, giving the painting depth. I finish with varnish to preserve the piece. Marcia Wigert, Featured Fine Crafter:Born and raised in California, I was fascinated by rocks and nature. Everywhere we traveled I would fill my pockets and the back of the family station wagon with rocks, all kinds of rocks. I was intrigued by the colors, sparkle, textures, and shapes. I guess even as a small child I was inspired by nature’s beauty. I am now inspired by my new home state of Oregon: the mountains, rivers, ocean, forests, wild life, and the peacefulness I find here. My jewelry is hand-crafted and made with you in mind. To me, accessories are pieces of art you wear and feel great in.
