Join Salons for Life for the fourth salon of the In Nature and In Nurture series, "Find Your Feet: Power from the Ground Up,'' with Kate Szekely – actor, producer, teacher and Co-Founder of Salons for Life. Modern life happens most frequently from the shoulders-up. In this virtual somatic salon, Kate will draw from her theater training and mind-body practices to lead salon participants on a physical journey of self exploration and expression. Combining a physical theatre technique, called Laban, with alignment-based mindfulness, salon participants can expect 90 minutes of letting the body lead the mind, playing with how weight, time, direction and space not only change how you move, but how you think. This salon is excellent for those who want to cultivate present moment awareness within their work and lives — no prior experience with theatre or mindfulness necessary! All that’s needed is some comfy clothes, a little bit of space to move, something to write or record with, and a sense of play and adventure!

Join Salons for Life for the third virtual salon of In Nature and In Nurture series, "Grow Your Money Tree: Owning Your Financial Future'' with Yaya Zhang of First Gen Invest. Yaya Zhang is the creator of the Own Your Future: Personal Investing Course and is committed to sharing a blueprint for first gen young adults to build intergenerational wealth. In this personal finance salon, Yaya will guide us through small practical habits for taking control of our finances to benefit you, your loved ones, and the communities and causes you care about.

“Ultimately, money is about more than what you can buy. It is about more than what you save, invest, accrue, give, and pass on. It is actually about the stages of personal evolution that go in parallel. The process of building skills and offering something of value to the world. The self-sufficiency of earning enough to take care of yourself. The deep-seated confidence in knowing that you can generate resources and wealth to share with the people and communities you care about. Gaining power over our finances helps you gain power over your narrative.” - Yaya Zhang

Join Salons for Life for the second virtual salon of In Nature and In Nurture series, "False Dichotomies: What We Can Learn from Karna '' with V. Balakrishnan (aka “Bala”), actor and artistic director of Theatre Nisha. Bala’s work is centered on activating imagination and intuition so that we can live a truly present and liberated human existence. In this virtual interactive theatrical salon, Bala will retell the story of Karna, a warrior from the Indian epic Mahābhārata, through the seven cantos of the epic poem, Rashmirathi, pausing to examine, through interactive theater games, the central question of this year’s salon series: What is it to be In Nature and In Nurture?

“through the relentless passage of time, we have lost our powers of intuitive, instinctive, impulsive behavior and negated imagination and its wonders, leading many to lack self esteem and confidence… and  that theatre and its many forms… free and liberate us to become people in the moment.“ - V. Balakrishnan

Join Salons for Life for the first virtual salon of In Nature and In Nurture series, "Unshakeable Prosperity: Free Your Mind from Scarcity" with Leisa Peterson, a best-selling author, business strategist, and mindfulness teacher. Leisa’s mission is to help soul-aligned entrepreneurs stop trading time for money. From writing a book about the topic (The Mindful Millionaire), and working with thousands of students, Leisa has developed a daily practice that enables you to consistently tap directly into the miracles of alignment and flow and how it transmits into abundant thinking, which in popular literature is called the money mindset. In this salon, we will identify the limiting beliefs, habits, and patterns that are sabotaging your financial, work and life prosperity!

“The simple truth is we can only get as much money as we can ask for. And if we don't feel worthy – if we aren't truly open to receiving money – it won't come to us because subconsciously we don't feel deserving or don't want the responsibility.“ - Leisa Peterson
