Culture Clique

Winona has a lot to offer in the way of unique experiences. There are many outdoor opportunities involving the bluffs and river, a thriving arts and music scene, and festivals ranging from Shakespeare to Beethoven to bluegrass. But did you know that Winona has many options for health and wellness that might be considered outside the norm for many people? There are practitioners in Winona that offer everything from herbal medicine, to acupuncture, to gong baths. That’s right, from plants to needles to gongs! Oh my! Recently, there was healthcare fair showcasing some of the different options available here in Winona so this month on Culture Clique we will be highlighting a few of those options in order to shed some light and hopefully answer some questions folks might have about these unique offerings. Today we learn about Temple Harmonics. Temple Harmonics deals with the healing power of sound using gong baths and more.

Today on Culture Clique we bring you Part 2 of our series on a Minnesota music venue that is truly a hidden gem, The Oak Center General Store. The Oak Center General Store, as the name implies, is more than a music venue, it’s also a general store, much like your grandparents might remember or like you might see in an old movie. It has also been home to a woodshop and has been the storefront for Earthen Path Organic Farms. The building has housed a general store and community meeting room since it’s construction in 1913 and it’s doors where only closed for 6 short years in the 1970s. In other words, this place has been open and operating for nearly one-hundred and ten years. If you aren’t yet aware of the Oak Center General Store, then you are in for a treat. I’m Bill Stoneberg and I hope that you enjoy this story of The Oak Center General Store as much as I enjoyed making it. Here’s Part 2 of our look into The Oak Center General Store, today on Culture Clique.
