Shambhala LA
Meditation is one of the most difficult practices to master in the 21st century. We are always multitasking or procrastinating. Our thoughts never stop, and we never have any downtime. This is why we all need meditation. The Shambhala tradition is all about positivity; it believes we are all inherently good, and we can access this goodness through meditation. By meditating, our goodness will further develop and be shared through our daily tasks. Shambhala LA offers meditation classes, weekend retreats, and weekly discussions.
Esalen
Of course, an article on LA health and wellness must feature a wellness retreat. Esalen is located 12 miles south of Big Sur, California in a beautiful remote area that promotes connection to nature.
