    Ep. 130 PA Humanities' Rain Poetry, Flora Spa & Aesthetic Bar, & In Case Yinz Missed It

    Ep. 130 PA Humanities' Rain Poetry, Flora Spa & Aesthetic Bar, & In Case Yinz Missed It

    Get ready to hear from 6 (!) different yinzers who are making their communities better places to be!

    First, Tressa stops by the dedication celebration for Pittsburgh’s first Rain Poetry installment to chat with wonderful teaching artist, Karen Howard, and then with phenomenal muralists and old pals Shane Pilster & Max Gonzales. What is Rain Poetry? Well…PA Humanities engaged children from two Pittsburgh neighborhoods in a hands-on community poetry activity facilitated by teaching artists. Haiku are being installed in public spaces with a special rain-activated solution.
    All it takes is a splash of water for the poems to sprout up all around as if by magic.

    Assemble: https://assemblepgh.org/

    Shane Pilster: https://dowhatwelove.com/

    Max Gonzales: https://www.maxgonzales.art/


    Then, Tressa sits down with the Owner of Flora Spa & Aesthetic Bar, Amber Shal, to chat about the Soa's renovation, what new services they offer specifically for health benefits, and why “self-care isn’t selfish”. Spa Director Maggie Gooch and Corcoran Collective’s Kelli McCoy join in the convo as well.
