Recap on Serena-Tea: APIDA Mental Health Tea Gathering 🫖🎨🍵
An afternoon rooted in rest, joy, and community 💛
We shared tea and delicious food, learned ukulele together, created portraits and zines, and made aroma blending bracelets as reminders to slow down and center ourselves.
So grateful for everyone who came to connect, create, and care for one another 🌿
Thank you to @csun_usu , @magaramcenter , and @aaspathways for helping make this gathering possible ✨ #CSUNapida

Thank you to the wonderful community of students, staff, and faculty connected thru @aaspathways and @csunapida for inviting me to speak about the healing power of tabla ❤️ Yesterday’s Healing Ragas: Sound, Breath, and Transformation in Indian Classical Music workshop was a joyful journey into how sound can restore balance and presence. We explored the foundations of tala (rhythmic cycles) shape emotion, focus, and inner calm.
Through live demonstration, guided listening, and reflection, participants experienced how breath, melody, and repetition can regulate the nervous system and create grounding. We also touched on the deeper contemplative traditions of Indian classical music, discovering its timeless power to bring clarity, connection, and joy 🙏🏽 special thanks to @simmymak108 for curating this new series focused on South Asian arts and more. Teentaal!
