Do you have a budding Mini Maker at home? Let us guide them this summer! Choose from the following dates: Monday through Wednesday July 7 – 9 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. July 21 – 23 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. July 28 – 30 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Ages 4-6 years welcome! Taught by Yael Kent, your little one will explore crafts across various mediums. We will explore through sensory activities, crafts and stories while developing fine motor skills. Littles learn best by doing and playing. We practice handwork and workplay. We “play” with natural objects and materials, keeping a consistent rhythm to our time together so that your child gains confidence each time they come. Our projects are planned so that mini makers will build skills while satisfying their need to explore. Projects are safe, non-toxic, earth-friendly, and full of creativity. It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during our time together. In addition, if your child is enrolled in a nearby camp elsewhere in Liberty Station in the afternoon, and their camp begins as ours ends, we are happy to walk your child to their next camp. These camps are for children ages 4-6 years old! • Military, first responders and sibling discounts: Email us for more information. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified.

(Members-only) Solo Piano Concert and Reception with Rossina Grieco Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Born and raised in La Jolla, California, Rossina Grieco began piano studies at the age of four. After achieving international recognition within the first few years of her career, the Italo-Shanghainese prodigy and wunderkind made her formal solo debut. At eight years old, Grieco played to a sold-out Copley Hall as the youngest pianist to ever grace its stage with the San Diego Symphony. Critics hailed Grieco as a prodigy “well beyond her years,” citing Grieco as “an absolute star, bringing audiences to their feet.” At age 11, Grieco was accepted at The Juilliard School of Music. During her teen years, she premiered at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, with standing ovations for her performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto. Grieco continued to tour extensively throughout Europe and Asia. Grieco has received recognition from illustrious artists, such as Gary Graffman (Curtis Institute), Dmitri Bashkirov (Tchaikovsky Competition, Reina Sofia School), Dame Fanny Waterman DBE (Leeds Competition), Gábor Takács-Nagy (Takács Quartet, Verbier Festival), and Yu Long (China Philharmonic). Grieco continued to distinguish herself through remarkable achievements while attending the Glen Gould School for which she was unanimously chosen. Grieco is the longest-standing recipient and only female winner of the Ihnatowycz Prize in piano, an award previously held by Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki. During her studies, she developed almost 60 hours of solo, chamber, and concerti repertoire while debuting six albums across all streaming platforms. Having signed a two-year contract with British boutique management company Polyphony Arts, Grieco continues her artistic pursuits and is happily married. Program: Beethoven, Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, “Appassionata” Chopin, Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23 Liszt, Piano Sonata in B Minor, S.178 “A very fine piano recital was presented on May 4 by the young piano prodigy Rossina Grieco [who] played to a full house at La Jolla’s Athenaeum Library, . . . Miss Grieco displayed technique and temperament far beyond her 13 years of age. . . . We all look forward to her continuing development.”—San Diego Jewish World, May 6, 2007 “Grieco [has] devoted her life to the piano. Witnessing her performance is a lifetime opportunity for many who describe her music as tranquil waves that engulf you. Her music burns like a fire inside her that becomes her muse.”—The Source Magazine, June 16, 2022 “The beauty of her work lies in the fact that you can always expect to be wowed. Rossina Grieco’s construction of silken melodies enriched with transcendental tones is sure to transport you to a state of sublime resplendence.”—The Hype Magazine, July 27, 2022 Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Facebook / Instagram

I've attended the 3-day Shaping Freedom event and an Online Goal Setting event that was led by Lisane, and I must say that Lisane has a true gift of speaking life into each attendee with amazing listening skills and insight that is specific to each person's situation and she makes each person feel heard and seen. The life tools that she shares will change your life and she makes them palatable so that you want to take action when you leave.

PS: I purchased candles and a yogamat, and they are fantastic. I love mv mat so much I'm orderina a second one. -Kathy C. • Gave Me The Jumpstart To Make Huge Changes In My Life. I met Lisane many years ago and always knew that I wanted to work with her. In 2020, in the midst of COVID I was feeling very unfulfilled in my personal relationship and my career. I am use to setting and achieving goals each year, which was difficult to do when the world shut down. I joined Lisane's program and I'm so happy I did. It gave me the jumpstart to make huge changes in my life. With her support, I finally obtained my Crossfit L-1 Trainer Certificate. Something I was trying to achieve for a few years but limiting beliefs held me back. From there it was a domino effect. I moved back to NYC, found my dream job, let go of a relationship that was draining my soul and relocated to Florida to start a beautiful new chapter in my life. Yes, I put in the work but Lisane provided the tools, guidance, support and her beautiful kindness. She hears what you are saying and helps to reframe thoughts so you can continue moving forward. If you are willing to put in the work, Lisane's programs are worth joining. I will forever be grateful. -Cheryl F. Shaping Freedom on Facebook / Instagram
