Join HER for an evening of good food, great company, and real advocacy as we support #StayinLA, an initiative fighting to keep film and TV production in Los Angeles. Pamala Buzick Kim will educate us on key policies and show us how we can take action together to keep production work—and the communities that thrive because of it—right here in LA.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?
Have you ever had a tough time dropping into that mysterious headspace everyone talks about in meditation that everyone talks about in meditation? Or how about grounding down when you feel like you’re going to float off into the ether? If you’ve ever experienced those phenomena, you’re not alone, and sound baths can be a huge help! Using a variety of sacred instruments like chimes, drums, and especially crystal bowls, the sounds emitted trigger the powerful theta brainwaves sought after during deep meditation. Just relax and let the sounds take you away….

WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy is a meditative like state of heightened focus that can help you reach goals and cope better with stress & anxiety. You usually feel more calm and relaxed while positive verbal and mental images are used to get your subconscious mind on board with what you want consciously. Contrary to what is seen in the media, participants don't lose control over their behavior. If anything, they gain more control over their thoughts, feelings and actions.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool you can use to:

• Increase motivation

• Make more money

• Feel empowered

• Improve focus

Women are conditioned & trained to be for others before we are for ourselves. Nowhere does this conditioning reveal itself more than in our compulsion to be "nice." This conditioning runs so deep it can be challenging to see all the places we do it, and it can be even more challenging to shift. When we do, we feel guilty because we are choosing ourselves instead of sacrificing.
