Join us in NYC for Embody Beauty: A Writing and Wellness Workshop
Celebrate the Launch of Issue 6 Beauty in NYC with an in-person Beauty experience that emphasizes embodiment and presence over hustle and productivity. Learn wellness practices such as mindfulness, meditation, grounding exercises and writing prompts to gently shift you into a new mindset while prioritizing your self-care. Participants will have the option of having a professional photo taken for use on blogs, press releases, book covers, and other professional uses. Our aim is to help you get into alignment with your creative practice while elevating as a creative in 2026 and beyond. Join us in NYC for this in-person event. Virtual tickets are available for the workshop portion of the event. Print magazines will be available at the event as well as light refreshments.
Update: We are honored to host an EFT Tapping session and guided meditation around Beauty by Reverend Lotus La Loba!
