Knowles Karate Academy4378 W 3rd St (@ S.

One of our workshop students brought this wonderful organization to our attention and we are happy to support them. 1/3 of the proceeds from this event will fund the purchase of items for hygiene packs and much needed health items for Los Angeles's Downtown homeless population.
Participants will learn and practice some simple but effective standing, striking, and ground techniques. The event is open to ages 8+. We recommend comfortable clothing and no jewelry. Cost is $30/pp. Come support this community effort to help our neighbors in need!
2:30 pm: Full Moon Flower Mandala & Meditation Workshop with Goats2:30 pm: Full Moon Flower Mandala & Meditation Workshop with GoatsJuly 29, 2018 –
Larchmont Village Public Parking Lot209 Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004Los Angeles, CA 90004Come Play, Create and Meditate with the adorable rather famous goats from Hello Critter. Join us for 2 hours of being in the “flow” for a very special Flower Mandala Making Workshop with the Hello Critter Goats as our inspiration and partners in the creation process.
Kirsten Korot will guide a beautiful opening meditation with a sound bath to set the tone and open up our creativity. We will then each create our own uniques Flower Mandala which is a beautiful way to get still and practice creativity and mindfulness together which helps to get us out of our heads and reduce stress and connect us into the beauty of nature and it's healing energy. Creating these with the goats around us as and sharing the process with them as they take nibbles of the flowers and plants reminds that just as in nature the mandala eventually gets recycled into nature and becomes a part of the endless and infinite cycle of life.
