Sip on our specially crafted “Gut Punch” tea blend, a delightful mix of digestion-supporting herbs and refreshing summer fruits. This tea is not only delicious but also synergizes with the Solar Plexus focus by aiding digestion and promoting gut health – a key aspect of this chakra’s wellbeing.

🎉 Spike Your Tea: Customize Your Experience And for a playful twist, you’ll have the opportunity to “spike” your tea. This option adds an element of personalization and fun to your experience. Whether you prefer your tea classic or with an added kick, it’s the perfect way to relax and socialize after a session of empowering yoga and meditation.

H⁴ Yoga — Hip Hop Happy Hour

January 29, 2024 By LaToyia.Mays@thelayacenter.com

Introducing “Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga,” an innovative and invigorating experience designed to stimulate your creativity, balance your emotions, and rejuvenate your body. This unique class perfectly blends the dynamic rhythms of hip hop with the fluidity of yoga, creating an environment where movement, music, and meditation come together in harmony.

Our session begins with a series of fluid, dynamic yoga movements, carefully choreographed to the beats of hip hop. This isn’t your typical yoga class; it’s a celebration of movement where each pose and transition encourages you to explore the limits of your creativity and physicality. The hip hop beats provide an energetic backdrop, inspiring you to flow with more freedom and expression, effectively stimulating the Sacral Energy Center, which is the center of creativity and emotional balance.

As you immerse yourself in the rhythm, we will gradually transition into a deep meditation focused on the Sacral Energy Center. Here, you will be guided through visualizations designed for emotional release, helping you to unlock and embrace your feelings, desires, and creative energy. This meditation is not just a practice of mindfulness but a journey into the depths of your emotional core, encouraging a harmonious balance within.

Post-meditation, we welcome you to the “Happy Hour” segment of our class. In line with our focus on the Sacral Energy Center and its connection to creativity, reproductive health and hormonal balance, we offer Herban’s specially curated herbal tea, Sweet Success. This tea is infused with herbs known for their benefits in supporting the Sacral. The twist? You get to play mixologist, spiking your tea with your choice of enhancements, adding an extra layer of personalization and fun to your experience.

Our Hip Hop Happy Hour Yoga is more than just a class; it’s a holistic experience designed to nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re looking to boost your creativity, seek emotional balance, or simply enjoy a unique yoga session with a twist, this class is for you. Join us for an hour of movement, meditation, and mingling, and let’s flow to the beat of self-discovery and holistic wellness.

Altars of Reconciliation — Artist Panel Discussion & Reception

January 26, 2024 By kellyk@christcommunitykc.org

Why would Native Americans believe in the Gospel of the invaders, the so-called “white man’s religion”? This is the internal struggle that this exhibition chooses to address. Told within the context of a history of deeply ingrained Christian practice among generations of Native peoples, artists Bobby C. Martin (Muscogee Creek), Erin Shaw (Chickasaw-Chocktaw), and Tony Tiger (Sac & Fox, Muscogee, Seminole) face the tensions created in their lives by the faith they practice. In Altars of Reconciliation, viewers experience contemporary, Native-themed altarpieces of sacred art, personal in their stories but universal in their struggle with eternal questions.

On February 2, we’ll be hosting an artist talk at our First Friday reception, where Bobby, Erin, and Tony will be sharing more in depth about their creative processes and the personal stories that led to these pieces.

Philo Northrup and Kathryn Marie Hogan Artist Talk: “For Play”

January 26, 2024 By thebunkercenter@gmail.com

Wrestling, sparring, pretend and fantasy allows us to practice for the real world, a real world that asks individuals to engage in a social economy. In this social economy we sell the body as a product forever blurring the lines between consent, maturity, play and desire. Here we lose sight of individuality and fall into our roles. The part of the child, the man and the woman become intertwined in a pageant of desire. Toys and photographs engage us in never ending foreplay, forever wiring our brains to fulfill a predetermined destiny towards this inescapable narrative.

Join us on First Friday for an opportunity to learn the concept and motivation behind our Valentine’s exhibition. Kathryn Marie Hogan and Philo Northrup will take the floor at 7.
