What is Loving Kindness Meditation? 
Loving-kindness practice (also called metta meditation) is a contemplative technique for cultivating warm-hearted, unconditional goodwill toward oneself and others.
Traditionally, the practice begins by directing kind wishes toward yourself, such as "May I be happy, may I be healthy, may I be safe, may I live with ease." However, many Western teachers start instead with a loved one or benefactor—someone who naturally evokes warm feelings. This adaptation recognizes that self-compassion can be challenging for many people, and starting with someone easier allows practitioners to first recognize what loving-kindness feels like before turning it toward themselves.
From this starting point, you gradually extend these same wishes outward in widening circles—to yourself (if you began with another), to loved ones, then to neutral people, then to difficult people, and finally to all beings everywhere.

Rather than striving to manufacture a particular emotion, loving-kindness practice is about setting a gentle intention and allowing feelings of warmth and care to naturally arise. Over time, this practice can soften habitual patterns of judgment and criticism, increase compassion for yourself and others, and help you recognize your fundamental interconnectedness with all beings.

The beauty of loving-kindness practice is its simplicity—it can be done formally in meditation or informally throughout your day, offering these heartfelt wishes to anyone you encounter.

What is Creative Flow? 
Creative Flow is a series of fun and mindful practices developed by Yazmin, a multidisciplinary artist who primarily works as a touring musician, but also as a painter, dancer and writer. Through her experience in these different mediums, she's developed a unique approach to creativity, which she's now crafted into a format to share with others. Connect with your own inner creativity through mindful movement, breath exercises, meditation, writing prompts, and pure play. No previous experience required. 

What is YoLaSalsa? 
YoLaSalsa is a delicious blend of Yoga and Latin Dance!  We’ll start with a yoga warm up, then dance and cool down once again with yoga.

What is Yoga Nidra? 
You will be guided through a series of breath, body and awareness techniques moving the mind to a deep sleep-like state of awareness. At times, journeying may be incorporated to promote insight and healing.
