MidNite Meditations | with Zuri Elise + Friends
Step into an evening designed to quiet the mind, soften the body, and soothe the soul through music, meditation, art, and intentional connection.
Zuri Elise has performed alongside artists including Doechii, Janelle Monáe, and Lizzo. Now, she is bringing her soothing sounds to an intimate live performance and collective meditation experience featuring music from her solo bass meditation project, "There's Time for Now."
Flow into the space with intentionally selected sounds by @linafornia, creating a sonic blanket for guests to feel cozy, grounded, and present. Sip tea, stretch, paint, journal, color, engage with writing prompts, enjoy visual projections, safely enjoy on the porch, or simply sit and listen.

You Gonna Learn Today | Swim Edition
A morning swim series for adults ready to face the water, hosted by our instructor @justswimwithjazz. This 2–3 week early-morning series is for creatives and adults who are ready to process water fear, release the shame of not knowing how to swim, and finally learn in a safe, supportive space.
Each session combines gentle grounding, community support, and beginner-friendly swim instruction. We'll focus on water comfort, breathing, floating, kicking, pool safety, and building confidence step by step.
This is not a pool party. This is for people who are committed to showing up, practicing, and learning for real. You are not too old. You are not too late.
What's Included
- 2–3 week beginner swim series
- Gentle grounding and community support
- Water comfort, breathing & floating basics
- Kicking, pool safety & confidence building
* Spots are limited — this series is for those committed to showing up and practicing. Held at a private pool, separate from The Narrative LA, so it continues even on our July 18th closure.
