Programs described in its return (1)
- $63,592 spent. In 2024, we continued to create online and in-person programs. Our class series on Zoom, working with indigenous traditions and movement is progressing beautifully. We offer three 7-week series in 2024. We renewed our contract with Newbridge Services to offer movement classes to the elderly across the country in New Jersey. Our classes continue progress as we were able to offer our work in Washington DC, New York, and West Virginia. Our classes at the Veterans Hospital in Palo Alto, CA are going strongly with an additional movement class for blind veterans. Our class with the Catholic Charities offering dance to women with severe trauma in a transitional living community house continue to do well in 2024. We are excited to have been invited to offer a workshop for the staff at the New York Presbyterian Hospital in 2024 and will continue in 2025. The staff works with families with trauma from violence. We have been invited to do a wellness class for the healthcare leaders at UCSF in 2025.
