Miami's Unity Coalition Encourages You To 'Elevate' Yourself

On Sunday, February 28 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., head to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden for Unity Coalition's Second Annual "Elevate," a day of more than 14 workshops and activities await you in the beautiful and serene settings.

"Navigating your way through our South Florida streets, watching the news, keeping your cool with less than courteous customer service reps, all while trying to live a simpler, healthier and kinder life are things most of us experience, think about or daydream of. 'Elevate' helps take the edge off of life's less-than-kind realities, and gives us some real and practical applications and tools. It's one of my favorite events all year," said Herb Sosa, Director of Unity Coalition |Coalici�n Unida, Inc.

Being a better person through what we eat, how we take care of ourselves, how we treat ourselves and how we treat others can be difficult to follow in our daily lives. Add the pressures of family, peers,�aging, economy and surroundings, and it often becomes overwhelming. This is where Unity Coalition| Coalicion Unida's second annual "Elevate" program comes in.

Activities are presented throughout the indoor and outdoor classrooms of the gardens campus, Yoga and meditation in the Garden with Joseph Armstrong and a spiritual makeover with lifestyle coach and Kundalini Yoga teacher Carlos Anaya. Learn tools for being happier and less toxic with Life Coach Thea Sommer.
