THE MUSIC
Featuring Jeremy Proctor, singer songwriter from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.
Jeremy has been writing and playing music for most of his life. He sings his own lyrics and has written songs, produced independent records and traveled, playing shows in most Canadian Provinces and Territories over the years. His music could be described as ‘Folk’, however, it’s his lyrics and finger style guitar that stand out. Bending genres and making people laugh and stamp their feet, singing along while they may not know the words to his songs. Some memorable performances include Winnipeg Folk Festival, CD release parties and other shows at West End Cultural Centre.
“Jeremy Proctor is a talented artist who successfully mixes a razor-sharp wit and an appreciation for wordplay with sadness and introspection. It’s his words that first made, and continue to make, the strongest impression on me. I was completely drawn in by the songs on this record; they make me wish that he came to play in Ontario more often.” Rachel Jagt, Rambles, April 26, 2003

With their Metis and French backgrounds, they grew up with homemade food on the table, including wild meat and fish, garden vegetables and from scratch baked goods like bread, buns, pies, suc a crème and tourtiere.

“I truly hope that Tracy K and Jamie Steinhoff continue as Blues Duo and in doing so, offer us much more of the same in the future, from these immensely talented artists.” – John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network
”Yes I declare I am a fan. That is what motivates me as a promoter to book Tracy K to audiences of 30,000 people; and most recently, Tracy and Jamie to an intimate evening of 200. They brought a passionate charm to their blues tradition and know what it takes to move an audience.” – Marv Terhoch, President, Terhoch Associates, Winnipeg, Manitoba
”We are always very pleased to have Tracy K & Jamie Steinhoff play, as they draw a crowd from miles around. Their exceptional talent, wit, humour, day to day stories makes the duo appealing and keeps people coming back.” – John Cox, Green Achers of Wabigoon, Ontario
When chef Jamie “Snakeman” Steinhoff isn’t cookin’ in the kitchen, he’s cookin’ on guitar. Now he’s outta the kitchen and cookin’ onstage!
The 2011 album “Canned Heat” introduces this lesser known bluesman guilty of preserving authenticity paired with award winning performer Tracy K. Known for wailing on harmonica and beltin’ out blues Tracy K’s desire to form a specific kind of acoustic duo was fulfilled after moving to Thunder Bay, Ontario where she met Jamie Steinhoff.
Woodshedding for decades, Steinhoff’s dedication to folk & blues from the 1920s to 40s is revealed in his swampy Delta slide and Piedmont finger style guitar work and gritty soulful vocals. The duo’s steamy blues and lively rags, contemporary originals and vintage gems in the blues-folk tradition make up their sound. The acoustic tracks from Tracy K’s repertoire find a home in this show amidst song choices unheard in her electric set, and some of Jamie’s clever originals.
Together Tracy and Jamie have been recorded by CBC Radio’s “Bandwidth” and “Canada Live” and co-wrote an epigrammatic tribute called “This Axe is Your Axe” for Jowi Taylor’s Six String Nation Guitar tour. They’ve shared stages and billings with artists like Bill Bourne, Rita Chiarelli, Joey Landreth, Terra Lightfoot, Fred Eaglesmith and John Sebastian amongst other fine players. The duo became quarter finalists at the 2014 International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee and more recently completed a Home Routes Tour in Manitoba. They tour acoustic venues and festivals across the land packing some infamous homemade Tracy K’s Stolen Apple Jelly, if there’s any left.
Tracy K has three other albums and appears on several other recordings and in two Hollywood films. Over the years the Toronto Blues Society selected Ms.K for performances at their annual Harmonica Workshop, Women’s Blues Revue, Talent Search, and their Internationally acclaimed Blues Summit. Tracy K was commissioned by CBC Radio to write a song for “Canada Reads, Ontario Rocks” and her band was recorded live in Ottawa for CBC’s “Canada Live”.
Together they are based in humble little Beausejour, Manitoba, where they garden, enjoy nature, canoe and kayak, cross country ski, and play music with friends.

Feed Your Soul Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat - Winter
2020-01-10 15:00 - 2020-01-12 14:00 | Manitoba
“Ahh. Take a slow, deep breath…winter is here. Everywhere around you the natural world is withdrawing, going dormant, and embracing a long, dark, season of slumber. The stillness that characterizes winter signals us to redirect our own energies inward. It is a time to rest and reflect. Winter is considered to be a kapha season with strong vata undertones. However, in the Canadian Prairies, vata is a strong component of winter. So overall, it is recommended to follow kapha and vata pacifying guidelines during winter.
Ayurveda teaches us that like increases like and that opposites balance. The seasons are characterized by the cycles of vata, pitta, and kapha. Maintaining good health and balance during all four seasons requires living in harmony with the doshic cycles. The food we eat, the type and amount of exercise we do and the clothes we wear, should all correspond to the seasons.

Feed Your Soul Ayurveda & Yoga Retreat
2019-07-19 - 2019-07-21 | Moon Gate Guest House, 61105 PR 406, Box 136, Whitemouth, Manitoba, R0E 2G0, Canada
Yoga
We will be moving through the practice of water namaskar and moon salutation. Both yoga practices help cool the body in the hot summer months. The benefits are:

Bringing more fluid movement into your body
Pouring your spine forward, allowing the neck to have freedom
Balancing vata and pitta doshas

Self Care
Marma therapy is an ancient Indian practice whose focus is the manipulation of subtle energy (prana) in the body for the purposes of supporting the healing process. Marma therapy is based on the utilization of 107 points in the body which are considered to be access points to body, mind, and consciousness.
Meditation & Breath
We will be exploring different types of meditations from silence to chants, and movements. Our featured meditation will be the water meditation.
Breath will be focused on the Sheetali breath. The word “sheetali” means cooling in Sanskrit, it is taken from the original word “Sheetal” which is soothing or cold. The practice of sheetali breathing calms the mind, reduces the stress or fight-flight response. It cools the body and mind, The blood pressure is also lowered. This pranayama is very effective in hyperacidity or even ulcers.
We will also practice the single nostril breathing. This technique isolates one nostril. For the summer months, we are targeting the left nostril, which is called the Ida Nadi (“subtle channel”), which is the body’s cooling channel and is located on the lunar side of the body. Plug the right side of the nostril and breathe in and out through the left nostril for 5-20 breaths.

Meeting in 2012 via a chance YouTube sighting and fueled by a once-in-a-lifetime musical chemistry and friendship, Canadian-American Roots-Folk duo Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen are “prodigious players with songwriting that sets them apart.” Now touring in support of their recently released fourth album, Driving By Candlelight, they combine soaring violin, diverse guitar styles, compelling storytelling, a dash of harmonica and humor, and unique vocal rapport for a dynamic, engaging, polished performance.
In late 2018 they released their fourth album as a duo. Spanning the range of Roots based genres, Driving By Candlelight is the consummate showcase of their unique fusion of backgrounds, perspectives, and influences with 13 new original songs “pondering contemporary subject matter with vintage sensibility.”
Beyond the synchronicity of their meeting, Dan and Laurel’s backgrounds, musical palates, and even their personalities, make both an unexpected and extraordinary match. Fans note the sense that one is witnessing an outpouring of color, creativity, and artistry far more textured than the sum of its parts. Though each artist had a drastically different style of musical training and were influenced by contrasting musical backgrounds, their commensurate dedication, experience, and the ways in which they inspire each other to grow and evolve musically, make Dan and Laurel a dynamic and unstoppable team. It also helps them craft concerts which offer a bit of something for everyone and it’s not unusual for the duo to hear that they turned someone who doesn’t typically like “folk music,” or “songs with vocals,” or “original music,” or “instrumentals,” or “violin music” or “acoustic music,” etc. into a fan who plans to go out and support live music more frequently. That’s an incredible feeling!
Dan and Laurel are quickly finding their niche on the North American and European folk circuits. However, hard work and dedication are only a facet of their relationship; as those who meet and hear them soon discover, “there is something incredibly romantic about these two and the way that their love story is told through their music.” Whether refueling back home, or creating their home on the road at various tour stops around the globe, it’s clear to people who witness these two that their harmony extends well beyond the notes.

Twin
Captivating North American audiences by road and by the river for the past 10 years, TWIN has developed a sound unto themselves ranging from deeply hypnotic folk storytelling to heavy hitting punk anthems and everything in between!
“TWIN creates a vast array of music, TWIN is intense, TWIN is intimate, TWIN absorbs then releases everything it comes in contact with.” Matt Vend, Mahala South African.
Land-marking an international canoe tour concert series, with 4 full-length albums and a growing catalog of EPs and live videos, TWIN is always sharing songs and stories of the places they’ve been and the places they’re going to.
“Similar to Bob Dylan’s trademark Never-ending Tour ‘hypno-alt-folk’ act Twin perpetually travels by canoe across the rivers of North America…” Seamus Hamilton-Pattison, Stylus Magazine.
Their vision is to create a river tour ‘network’ across North America and beyond bringing people back to the water to celebrate and heal. The ‘tour’ is a call to gather at the river’s edge to share music, stories, food, seeds, and ideas. The ‘armada’ is an open venue for sharing information and heritage heirloom seeds so that we can learn to become more self-sufficient, protect our food sovereignty and retain the knowledge of land-based peoples.
The tour promotes the Urban Seed Bank initiative and TWIN’s River Music Armada Seed Share / Elder’s Project.
