Heal One World is excited to announce new programsat the Healthy Living Center in Los Angeles and the opening of our first affiliate space in Fresno, California. The Zen Den Studio will open on April 15th in Central Fresno. Offering Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation and self defense. In Fresno we also have our Veterans program, teaching tai chi and meditation three times a week at the VA (Veteran's Administration), and Tai Chi and the local library. We are very enthusiastic to serve Fresno and the Central Valley. Veterans report reduction in headaches and stress, more coordinated movement and having steadier moods.
In Los Angeles we have begun working with PATH, twice weekly yoga classes at their transitional housing complex in Mar Vista. We still hold yoga classes at the Venice Family Clinic. We have added a new meditation class as well as Tae Bo on Saturdays. Our new project manager MiinKay is offering cranio-sacral therapy at our studio by donation, it is a very powerful hands-on healing modality.
We had our annual Zen Den at the Sundance Film Festival as well, offering holistic healing treatments as well as yoga, tai chi and meditation.
Our 7th annual Awareness Film Festival was a large success, showcasing over 200 films in 11 days at LA Live in Downtown Los Angeles. Filmmakers attended from around the globe and Heal One World was represented before each screening. We hosted panels on mental illness, PTSD and featured the Save A Warrior foundation for veterans. We also honored four animal activists at our dinner event. We also offered free screenings to the community. We are excited to announce our 8th annual awareness and fund-raising event will take place October 5-15th at the Regal Cinemas in Downtown Los Angeles.
