We are an art co-op and wellness center and a gathering place for conversation and community. The three of us opted to “cooperate” with one another in a single space, bringing together visual and performance art (Kristin), design and graphic art (Lee), and healing and movement arts (Jampa) so that we might all benefit from one another’s strengths and learn from one another’s weaknesses. The “all boats rise” mentality, which is often lacking in mainstream business, led the way. We decided to open up the space to other practitioners and artists that shared our mission, uniting to meet common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations. If we all carry a small piece of the larger nut, we increase our capacity to serve the community and one another’s businesses.
The class schedule can be found here. We recommend that you check the schedule before coming to class, in case there are any last minute changes. We encourage guests to download the Valley Spirit MindBody app, and check in for classes in advance.
All of our classes are geared toward any level of student, unless otherwise specified. Our practitioners are experienced with all different levels and can modify classes to fit each individual’s needs. We are a healing space, so all of our classes are geared towards leaving guests feeling uplifted, relaxed, and with a heightened mind body connection.
Yes. All of our teachers can accommodate our 55+ guests. Tai chi and Qi Gong are fantastic options.
