My family loved going to local folk festivals and swimming in the headwaters of the Mississippi. I often joined my dad, a photojournalist, on assignment, and in the darkroom. As I got older I immersed myself in my drawing and activism. Upon graduating from high school, I was awarded an art scholarship to the University of North Dakota, but after a year in the program I longed for a more non-traditional education and the unfamiliarity of home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631328820661-16ND3TU61BYNZ530Y6ND/IMG_3844.jpg THE LONG STORY - On New Year’s Eve 2005, I took the train to Olympia, Washington, to attend the Evergreen State College- one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I thrived in Evergreen’s unique self-directed studies. I immersed myself in the interdisciplinary classes and soon began focusing on my self-created major; Arts Management. I fell in love with the indie/DIY music and arts community in Olympia. I began to organize shows, arts workshops for under-served teens, art tours of the city, and an annual sustainability conference. I went to San Francisco to study at SFMOMA. And finally, I capped my final year with an independent project; writing a business plan for a non-profit community arts space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631329714221-PJJJW2HV1NKL5J2BB7PQ/IMG_6287.jpg THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631329857128-TRVH7AWWYX46VLUW1EX5/IMG_2594.jpg THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631328185939-FH2IPXTY2NQH0PQO39SD/49056785286_9af54c9bcd_c.JPG THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631332043262-ZE5DAFS190XODL8N81YW/tempImageForSave.JPG THE LONG STORY - Meanwhile, in my free time, I continued to work on creative projects and community events. I discovered my love for natural hot springs and deepened my passion for solo adventuring. In 2017 I began producing and hosting celestial celebrations on Solstices and Equinoxes. These events, set in beautiful remote locations, combined my passions for the outdoors, community, live music and the unique circumstances that time and seasonal change bring about. This nomadic event series continues to this day and has been held all over Oregon and Washington. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631332156507-4174JQN3MCWQ7BPUSBWP/IMG_7530.JPG THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631331757063-ZLEDGFKWYGX5JLR1U6MB/IMG_4974.jpg THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631331670332-DTDSEMFZIBNE6C5E5L7U/IMG_7184.jpg THE LONG STORY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631481644377-DQCB7D93120CBH0TL4ZN/014A7C51-4DF6-4D18-BB0B-93B88F0A42DB.JPG THE LONG STORY - In 2021 I moved to a log cabin in the Siuslaw National Forest on the Oregon coast where I live with my dog, Wilson, six chickens, and a duck named Honky. We spend our time gardening, kayaking, reading, writing, dancing and adventuring. While, of course, keeping busy with creative projects and events. https://www.emilylaurelstennes.com/about daily 0.75 2022-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1652252772553-9Q4YDPCJT1GTAO7JX5HN/emily+laurel+stennes+resume+%281%29.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1652252820411-ECFBK991IEBKXE1ER2QC/emily+laurel+stennes+resume+%282%29.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/8fcd9bfd-c4ef-4ca2-b807-4170506be1bb/49056896787_94e76cf172_c.JPG RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/d760e85d-fc8c-4864-96fe-e830db87164a/IMG_7184.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/c49177cf-bf68-4eda-9c10-655161b6ea13/IMG_5473.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631207637740-H6KWHOL0BQ3XUM0PQV6L/IMG_3810.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631207803075-C27CMKRXSE803RGIG3EH/IMG_4276.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/09f7a2b2-6959-48b3-b089-0c8d0deeb950/IMG_0495.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1899c54b-6efa-4012-9bd3-57cb257b7e4b/IMG_3844.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/5076a8df-37fa-41bc-9225-7a0bd639cff3/IMG_5049.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/a5f36af4-e2d4-4d18-bc4e-07bad0321c92/IMG_6981.jpg RESUME+REFERENCES https://www.emilylaurelstennes.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-09-20 https://www.emilylaurelstennes.com/home daily 1.0 2022-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1652235647862-LCBVWSJ4C0I2S0ULW0FQ/19A0C543-FB70-4885-AE41-228C4B45B9FB.JPG Home FROM THE DESK OF emily laurel stennes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1652246471931-BZ1WVHMFPKP5W4MHUZLN/ambient_church_best.jpg Home creative project mgmt. event production community outreach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/fca2dee2-6333-4fb4-b8e8-a426bdbb3bb2/49056165928_8ee1396945_c.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/2a1d637a-59dd-4cc8-b02b-6386770a9995/IMG_3517.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/3623c3e5-e050-4270-a48e-4efcd9513663/AmbientChurch_01.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/e7b56f28-f439-4a2b-b79f-5d38a1979242/IMG_5117.jpg Home https://www.emilylaurelstennes.com/general-3 daily 0.75 2022-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631313247430-PMGLL0WFHV6J7LROHRJV/IMG_4199.jpg EVENT PLANNING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631313403859-YI82704WQTRKS2WBAGPO/IMG_3517.jpg EVENT PLANNING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631313882825-VFLH12WLNI8OJJKMRG0M/IMG_4301.jpg EVENT PLANNING https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1631315151418-M29SZ51Q18TVVZVIKUZU/IMG_2015.jpg EVENT PLANNING https://www.emilylaurelstennes.com/shortstory daily 0.75 2021-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6108d06beb729b183b45320b/1632173554507-1XB58DNKYQ36F5NCGL3K/IMG_8353.JPG THE SHORT STORY - HOW IT CAME TO BE Born and raised in North Dakota, I immersed myself in the arts and the outdoors.
