The Annenberg Space for Photography presents No Strangers: Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World -- a group show about the wonder of culture and the plight of indigenous people throughout the world.

 

The exhibit is guest curated by esteemed anthropologist, author, and photographer Wade Davis. No Strangers explores the ways cultures express a shared humanity and navigate the circle of life. It poses a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human and alive?

When the people of the world answer this question, they do so in 7,000 unique voices. Tragically, half of these may be silenced within a generation or two. At risk is our human legacy, a vast archive of knowledge and expertise. More

Here's a musical event we can all agree on -- a yoga class, a rave, an enlightening experience? What is the Art of Living "Yoga Rave"?

Yoga Rave is a party like no other -- one coming to SF, LA, Chi Town, and Philly -- a new concept in fun where the body responds only to the stimulation of music, yoga, meditation. The LA version is tonight.

This initiative is the brainchild of the Art of Living Foundation, the largest volunteer-run NGO in the world. Just like the rest of the Foundation’s initiatives, the motive is a non-profit one. The money raised goes to bring yoga, meditation, and stress-reduction to university campuses and young professionals in need through the YESplus workshop. Learn more, and FIND A COURSE: us.yesplus.org.

 

Drink Reed's Kombucha, stretch, bend, meditate, and absorb the music all in the company of like-minded party people? Sounds like that's worth a visit to the Art of Living Center at 948. W. Adams Blvd, Los Angeles near USC. More
