3:45-5pm Happy Hour with Sheldon Mba!

Lessac Practioner Sheldon Mba will guide you through a body project process of using the Body NRGs to create an imaginary city, destroy it and then rebuild it. This cocktail party will feature music and prompts that Mba will use to guide you in this creative and destruction process. We ask that you find an area in your space where it is clear enough for you to move around and make bold choices without disrupting anything outside of your creative bubble. We highly encourage videos to be on and bring your favorite beverage!
