Future activities will include the upcoming Salsa class, picnics, waterfalls cabin camping, NYC guided walking tours, museum guided tours, comed …

If you would like participate in mommy/baby meets or play dates, plus join up. Of course, everyone is welcome even if you don't speak a second language. Wouldn't it be nice to host a regular mommy and babies meet up while exposing your little one to the phonetics and grammer of other languages outside the one you speak at home? They have language classes for babies but they cost up to $45 per class. That got me thinking, I want my daughter to learn other languages besides English or at least h …

IHReiki* Shinpiden graduates (and their Shinpiden students) get together about once a month in Manhattan for a focused and deep practice together, with optional chat time after at a nearby cafe. It's fun, too (laughing is such a great by-product of being Reiki, isn't it?), but the emphasis is on delving deeply into the classical Japanese practices, especially the Shinpiden-level techniques we don't always get to explore with others as a group. It's a no-judgment zone; each of us starts where we …
