Classes

Our classes have been impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic and some are back to "live" classes. Check our Community Calendar for the most current list and schedule of classes.

Classes are offered free of charge to El Dorado County residents who have been impacted by cancer or other traumas.

You do not need to have any experience with art or movement classes to sign up. Our objective is to offer a healing environment where you can take some time for yourself and enjoy the company of others.

Mindful Movement Series

Life can be Hard. These classes can help.

Come, meet yourself with a sense of ease and well-being through body sensing, meditation, and breathing practices which calm the mind, open the heart, and strengthen the body.

Find your inner ally that always holds and supports you when you RELAX and open. And feel the connection and support of this community of heart that meets you here with compassion and understanding.

Do come.
