Turena Austin stirs thoughts at WindieFest as she discusses her unique abilities as an “Intuitive Sensitive.” Having researched and practiced decades of dream work interpretation and reflexology, her healing work is highly sought and well respected. “I have always been aware of unseen energy, which appears to me as color and emotions. Snap shot images provide insights into individuals through my heightened senses. My 11 year old Granddaughter calls it ‘my magic eyes’. “
If you’ve ever experienced “déjà vu” or just “had a feeling” about something, Turena has insights that can help you understand it. You’ll find her on the Parlour Tour at the International Storytelling Center library at all sessions (noon, 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00)

Smart Woman, Smart Company
In 1999, founder Julie Hellwich made a few gifts for friends. The style and wit of the products struck a nerve with her chums and local store owners, and quickly captured the attention of smart women everywhere.
Smart Women items express the wit, intelligence, and smarts applied to the everyday experiences of extraordinary women. Smart is about making choices and making do; making amends and mending your socks. We know smart when we see it and when we feel it.

Smart Women products are fun, practical household gift items with a meaningful message. Informed by a do-it-yourself spirit, creative vision, and commitment to community, the collection puts a contemporary spin on the domestic arts learned from founder Julie Hellwich’s clever Midwestern grandmothers, Betty and Gert.
We want women to know that the things we do make a difference. By living and breathing our politics and convictions on a daily basis, (whether we’re running errands, running the office, or running FOR office) Smart Women change the world every day.
