Join us for a day of wellness with three new practitioners dedicated to healthy outlets for the body and mind.
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Self Heal Acupressure Massage Workshop: Unable to get a massage or spend the day at the spa? Learn how to self heal with an acupressure massage workshop by Monique Gray, founder of Planet Mode Wellness. The session will focus on techniques to achieve homeostasis and get rid of energy blockages.
11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. – Blended Berries Tea: Enjoy fresh beverages throughout the day by Blended Berries Tea, an African American-owned company based in Los Angeles.
12:00 – 1:00 p.m. – The Art of Living: A Workshop on Mindful Eating: Food plays a central role in our self awareness. Eating, a seemingly unremarkable act, reveals much about how we listen to ourselves and the quality of the relationship we have with our bodies and our lives. Yoga & Mindfulness Instructor, Certified Master Gardener, and philanthropist Uma Nicole offers a conversation about where our food comes from, the battle for good food in Los Angeles, community gardens, and buying and preparing healthy foods on a budget.
1:00 – 2:00 p.m. – 5-6-7-8 Dancing through the Decades: Dancer and dance historian E. Moncell Durden presents a throwback dance workshop teaching popular steps throughout the decades, including the Madison from the 1950s, the Philly Bop from the 1960s, the Rocksteady and Bump from the 1970s, and the Kid ‘n Play Kick-step from the 1980s.
