Stepping into the gratitude of the Disco Dragon.

*photo captured by Indie Soul Photography @ Shine Time Studios opening day*

Feeling so much gratitude for so many people right now.
Someone once told me I was cringey for sharing so much of myself like this... but if you think it's cringe then maybe my journey isn't for you.

Because I’ma just glow for a while.

I wanna shout a huge
THANK YOU into the world.

A thank you to every single person who showed up for our Shine Time Studios opening, to those that wished they could show up, to those that where there physically, and energetically, and to those that hopped in my inbox to send wishes, or just even thought them in their hearts.

I continue to feel them, and will continue shining to hold space for others to do the same.

This year's theme *for me* is to step into the Disco Dragon energy of the demi gods and to be so forever grateful for the communities I've been blessed to be and continue to be a part of. They will help me thrive and I can help them thrive. We bring things life when we reflect and rise together

The dragon represents abundance, stability. protection, and so much more, the disco ball the energy of community, the spirals of life, and reflection of light and energy, and the demi gods reminder is that not only does the energy of God have your back but we are made in the essence of the energy of gods and the faith of its power also lies within the faith of ourselves and our willpower to succeed in and with the dream.

The mission is to continue to show up for myself and others in an authentic way and also just be in the moment, and have faith that we are all here for a reason.

We rise together when we are able to support others dreams in collaborative ways and encourage each other.

I've felt burned so many times in life by the fears of competition and the fears of taking up to much space, chasing a dream that others often think is to big to be real.

But I choose to continue to show up because of how amazing the people that continue to show up for me are.

I am so grateful. Not for any monetary thing, but for the people that show up.

Because making memories and creating active space for creativity and community to flourish is where I find my heart feels most happy.

Thank you, wherever you are, for being a part of my community.

Shine your light, and I'll continue to reflect it into the world for others to see to the best of my ability.

Stay tuned for more events. If this is the gratitude I feel after our soft opening I can't wait to see where we continue to grow... because this was only phase 1 of my glow up releases. More to come.

Its shine time.

Opening Day - Announcing the launch of Shine Time Studios

Happy 1/11! Today's the day for the Shine Time Studios intentional launch off!

For those that haven’t followed me on social media but happen to be finding me here, I’ll getcha updated.

Hi! I’m Shannon Shine! I moved to Princeton, WV part time in 2022 and have found myself spending a lot of time working with artists and creatives. I decided it was time to bring my gallery, art, and wellness center back to life here in this little appalachian town that’s got a lot of heart and soul. Creative ones at that.

If you’ve never been to Princeton, WV I suggest you check it out sometime., and it’s surrounding areas like Bluefield, Hinton and beyond. These old mountain hollers have a lot to offer.

That all said, Shine Time Studios art and wellness center is now located at 850 Mercer Street, Princeton West Virginia and I would love for you to come and check it out.

While you are here…. SHOUT OUT to Lacey of SilverArrow Art whom i will also be featuring at the gallery. Their help has been beyond helpful, more than I can words. This space wouldn’t be happening without Selo and Lacey. So forever grateful for their help!

This place is possible by not only my doing but many other creatives in the area. I am SO grateful for my friends!

I wouldn't be where I am without a little (probably more like tons honestly) help from my friends.

They keep me grounded, inspired, and cheer me on endlessly.

I hope to continue to do that for them and my community as we open the doors today at 1pm!

People will mingle and enjoy a variety of fun, art , music, food, ceremony and magic and I hope make some new friends themselves!

It feels surreal and kinda like my birthday...but it's the birth of one of my passion babies and I'm so grateful to be the steward of this adventure and space for so many new things to grow from.

I know I've tried to say it a lot but if you've missed it I wanna make sure you hear my gratitude.

If you ever have supported me, continue to support me, or want to and are cheering me on from wherever you are.....THANK YOU.

Every little bit goes a long as at motivating me to keep on shining.

I often miss my family on these days, I know my momma and grandma and dad and beyond would be so excited to see these adventures of mine

But in my mommas honor I’ma keep shining this little light of mine, just as she asked me oh so many years ago.

So if you're not here to cheer me on, ya may wanna step away from my page cause im about to be shining like a Disco ball so bright ya might want some shades...cause it's Shine Time

Cya at 850 Mercer after 1pm today if you in the Princeton WV area!

Miss our opening day?
No worries catch the re-cap video

aka my good friend Billy Morgan.

Forever grateful for so many people, and things.

For growing up a Lil girl who thought I'd be lonely with no support as I grew up an orphan with a wild journey, my soul family sure continues to show up for me.

Kicking Of 2024 with some BRIGHT news!

WELL we made it to 2024! To kick it off we opened the doors for a kick off to Shine Time Studios! ( More info to come soon!)

My mind is still processing and I have so many more photos to share from the night and full street production from before even opening my doors.

What a way to end and kick off the year yall. Thank you for cheering me on far and wide. I wouldn't be shining as I am without the support I have from across the globe.

I started 2024 feeling like a shining diamond...and I hope this same shine carries through the year and grows.

The last few years have shook me and I'm ready for a year of unexpected amounts of JOY, STABILITY, GRATITUDE, SMILES, GROWTH, SUPPORT, GOOD HEALTH AND MAGICAL MEMORIES.

Calling that in for all that are willing to accept that it is possible through the darkness around us.

Yes, the world is wild and in an unexpected whirlwind, but change starts with us.

We can't stop anything from happening or make change unless we believe it is possible.

We are so quick to believe anything is possible in the darkest ways...but I wanna see you call in your impossibly amazing dreams and support.

Here to cheer you on, as much as others cheer me on.

That being said I have an announcement to make.
