Seward First Fridays- Women in Wellness!

We are so excited to kick off the 2022 First Friday Art Walk series here in Seward AK on May 6^th from 6p to 8pm at our Forests Tides & Treasures Shop. We will be featuring Seward local Wellness providers Carly Locke and Lavina Dickinson. These two women literally changed our lives for the better over these last 18 months helping us overcome some very challenging physical conditions. We believe in our hearts that they can help just about anyone live a more comfortable and complete life through their wellness techniques of acupuncture and massage therapy. We invite you to come listen to what they have to share, participate in actual demonstrations of their crafts, sample some of their wares and maybe even take something home with you at the end of the night.
