Seattle, Washington, has a rich history, and fashion is one aspect that has evolved significantly over the years. The city’s fashion sense has been influenced by its history, culture, economy, and the Pacific Northwest’s general lifestyle. Here are some key aspects:

Native Influences: Seattle’s fashion history starts with the indigenous peoples of the region. The Coast Salish tribes were skilled weavers and created intricate clothing and blankets from cedar bark and wool.
Gold Rush and Lumber Era: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Seattle was a frontier town with a robust logging industry and was a significant outfitter for the Klondike Gold Rush. The practical clothing of this time reflected these industries, with heavy boots, durable pants, and flannel shirts being common.
Post-WWII and Boeing Influence: After World War II, Seattle saw an increase in population as people came to work for companies like Boeing. The 50s and 60s saw a shift towards more conservative and traditional fashion influenced by these new middle-class families.
Grunge Era: Seattle is perhaps best known fashion-wise for the grunge look of the late 80s and early 90s, associated with the music scene at the time with bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The fashion was characterized by thrift-store finds, flannel shirts, band t-shirts, and worn-out jeans.
Tech Boom Influence: More recently, the tech boom with Microsoft, Amazon, and numerous start-ups has brought a more casual, functional, and laid-back style to the city. “Techie” fashion often involves jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and comfortable shoes, with an emphasis on individual expression.
Sustainable and Ethical Fashion: In recent years, in line with Seattle’s reputation as an eco-conscious city, there’s been a trend towards more sustainable and ethical fashion. This includes a focus on local designers, vintage clothing, and companies that prioritize sustainable production methods.

AmPowering's coffee series talk for The Well Mind
2023-04-04 17:30 - 19:00 | Online, United States
Presenting our next AmPowering’s coffee series talk for The Well Mind!
In our busy life, we are surrounded by so much outer noise, then sometimes we even forget to listen to our own inner self and that creates imbalance of our mind, heart & soul. That is why for stronger mental health, meditation is best remedy and prescribed by all doctors, therapists and counsellors.
Meditation is a natural state of the human mind. It is the art of being still and silent. It is the journey of going from movement and activity to silence and stillness. In today’s world where you are continuously surrounded by noise, mass consciousness, technology etc. listening to your inner voice is not easy. Meditation helps in listening to this inner voice by bringing alignment and balance in your mind, body, and soul.
According to countless theories of medical science, stress is a weapon of mass destruction and a “silent killer.” Most of your thoughts are fear based either due to clinging on your past experiences or due to the need of controlling your future outcomes, forcing you to live in the fight or flight mode and thus making stress the most important parts of your lives. You although are familiar with the term “Being Present” but are so busy in living these repetitive fear-based thoughts of the past and of the future that you completely forget to live in the present moment.
Please join Sumiti Kapoor, a spiritual and intuitive coach, for an evening where we practice the art of being in our natural state of stillness and silence, through practicing the simple, yet profound techniques that will help in reducing stress by bringing balance in your mind body and soul, thus bringing in the higher states of consciousness in your day-to-day activities.

The Well Mind Coffee Conversation Series by AmPowering
2022-03-06 19:00 - 20:00 | Online, United States
The Well Mind – A Coffee conversation series by AmPowering
Sun. March 6th @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM PST

About this event

Mindfulness of emotions can be challenging to navigate. They come and go with the same impermanence as waves yet often carry the same brute force as a storm at sea. We can find ourselves overwhelmed by their force, whether the emotions that come are in the form of anger, fear, sadness, disgust, anticipation, joy, or any other feeling. Our emotional landscape when heightened can be an intricate intermingling of numerous feelings and sensations that often boils down to an indescribable experience of unease and discomfort. In this melting pot of emotions, we can find ourselves unable to find clarity, peace, and stillness.
When we incorporate mindfulness into our emotional landscape, we start to develop a different relationship to the challenging feelings that arise. Recognition of the body’s reaction and potential contribution to mindfulness of emotions can empower us to move through them mindfully.
Join for a coffee conversation with Anu Arora to explore how being mindful of these emotions can help us discover a completely new aspect of dealing with them in a different light and understanding their deeper meanings.

About this event

In the world when we are living with so many mental health issues, it is important to look for the constructive conversations and methods to achieve wellness of mind body soul and spirit.
What best way to start with the understanding of forgiveness and letting go so as to reset our lives for a positive start?
We all have been hurt in some way or the other at some point in time and yes have been responsible for causing hurt to someone in some way at some point in time as well..
Offcourse what has been done cant be changed but the important question is how to move past those experiences?
It is hard to move forward if one is still stuck in the past. Forgiveness has the power to change your life.
Most of us understand the importance of forgiveness and letting go, but very few of us know how to do it?
Forgiveness is not just about forgiving others for what they have done to us but Forgiveness is to set ourselves free from the clutches of the past and move forward with a fresh perspective.
It is a process that comes from courage, love, non- judgement and compassion for yourself and for others
It is a process of reunion with your soul and reunion with your higher self.
Forgiveness has been shown to promote mental health and well-being. It allows people to let go of negative emotions and thoughts that can be detrimental to one’s health. This can lead to increased happiness, peace, and satisfaction with life.
We invite all those who are ready to embark the journey of peace, love, joy and bliss with simple and easy tools to join us for a conversation and workshop with Sumiti Kapoor, founder of a spiritual and wellness center by the name of LifeSpritSoul.
