Make 2025 Your Year of Manifestation by Joining Us on New Year's Eve! In Person & Zoom This New Year don't just wish for change—make it happen with a focused mind and a powerful Qi field. Intention setting is like giving a command to the universe, clearly stating what you want to bring into your life. It reflects your focus, clarity, and purpose, ensuring that your thoughts and actions align with your desires. When you set a clear intention, your mind, body, and energy field work in harmony to bring that intention into reality. This alignment ensures that your actions, mindset, and even subconscious programming support your goals. Immerse Yourself in the Wisdom and Energy of a Qigong Master In this powerful session, you’ll set your intention within a carefully cultivated Qi field—an environment rich with vibrant, supportive energy designed to amplify your ability to manifest. Imagine being immersed in this energetic field, where distractions fade and clarity emerges. The Qi field acts as a magnifier for your intention, helping align your thoughts and emotions to bring your desired reality into focus. Whether your goal is to cultivate better health, attract abundance, or enhance relationships, Master Liu’s guidance ensures your intentions are not only clear but also energetically supported. Harness a New Mindset This workshop is not just about thinking positively—it’s about adopting a new mindset and tapping into the profound energetic potential of Qi to co-create the life you envision. Transform your approach to intention-setting and take a step closer to manifesting the life you deserve.

Brain Balance, a leading drug-free brain training program designed to help adults and kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, cognitive performance, health, safety, and emotional well-being, offers a complimentary kindness webinar. When we think about being kind or unkind, we tend to focus on the impact we have on others. While this is vitally important, it’s also key to know how being kind or unkind impacts our own brains. Extensive research has taught scientists a great deal about what occurs in our brains when we disconnect with others by being callous and when we connect with them by being kind. It has serious implications for our brain health and overall health. Kindness is a choice that can bring us amazing health benefits, as well as benefits to others. Understanding why we might feel an impulse to be unkind, learning strategies to replace this impulse with “co-regulation,” can do wonders for our health, happiness, and high-performance. Brain Balance of Greater San Diego has three centers in Carmel Mountain Ranch (10175 Rancho Carmel Drive, Suite 124, 92128), Chula Vista (310 3rd Avenue, Suite C7, 91910), and Encinitas (165 S.

SDNVW (San Diego New Verbal Workshop) is a contemporary vocal ensemble inspired by the experimental music tradition of the late 20th century. We perform, improvise, and compose as a collective and frequently work with living composers to explore the unique sonic capabilities of the human voice in concert with instruments, electronics, and movement. This program features several original works by the co-founders Zane S.B. and Dominic Cooper, including a site-specific work for the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla. About San Diego New Music: San Diego New Music is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the public performance of notated music of the highest integrity and artistic caliber from the 20th and 21st centuries. We seek to advance the art form by promoting music composed with conceptual rigor, passionate energy and singular artistic vision. SDNM enriches the artistic culture of San Diego through the presentation of an annual concert series and the soundON Festival of Modern Music, and through fostering its resident performing ensemble, NOISE. In 1994, the only place in San Diego where you could hear an entire concert of 20th-century music was on a college campus. San Diego New Music pitched the idea of a concert series devoted to modern music and 20th-century classics at the Athenaeum. The concerts of modern music perfectly complement the exhibitions of modern art held in the Athenaeum’s galleries. In 1996, San Diego New Music presented its first season. The series was called "Noise at the Library," and the ensemble would later adopt the name, as well. San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum have been happily co-presenting concerts of new music ever since. For more information on the organization go to www.sandiegonewmusic.com.
