Storytellers. Creative. Truth seekers. Visionary. That’s NASHtoday’s vibe, according to Tertiary Sight.

Owned + operated by Jane Adams Grote, Tertiary Sight specializes in reading the auras — or the energetic states — of clients, which correspond to the seven chakras of the body.

How it works

Metal hand plates receive electricity from your body that cast vibrant hues over your image, which develops in about five minutes on Polaroid paper.

“Typically, I say the camera captures a season of life,” Jane said. “I say it captures a season of life because number one, it puts it back on you to decide what this experience means for you and how this experience resonates with your practices + your beliefs.”

What our colors mean

Yellow/Orange — representing the expressive energy we put out — depicts our personality as storytellers and creators who operate from joy + understand the power of self-expression.
Rainbow/Blue/Orange — the shared present energy where our thoughts live — is a feeling color depicting authentic truth seekers having a lot going on and, equally, a lot of support.
Purple — the shared receptive energy we are calling to ourselves — is a playful color representing imagination and activation, which depicts our ability to call in inspirations and grow our vision at large.
White/Green — which you’ll see between Editor Skylar + Editor Dylan — depicts how open we are with one another and the encouragement we share to grow and heal together.

Tie it all together and we’re some idea actualizing, passionate storytellers with a knack for seeing the big picture in Music City.

Hotel Indigo rebrands as The Countrypolitan

Hotel staff will host an official grand opening of The Countrypolitan, formerly Hotel Indigo, on Friday, Nov. 18. The brand recently underwent a redesign across the restaurant, bar, lobby + meeting and events space.

The Printer’s Alley hotel — 301 Union St. — now sports decor and artwork curated by design company Studio 11, and inspired by the 70s “Countrypolitan” music era. The idea, according to general manager Bill Bacelieri, is that you feel as though you’re stepping directly into the living room of legendary greats like Patsy Cline.

In addition to the restaurant, out of town guests and locals alike can listen to live music weekly (see that calendar here) + shop the vintage retail store curated by local country artist Nikki Lane.
