2025-10-16 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Lake City Library, 12501 28th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98125, United States
Nichos are iconic to Mesoamerican culture, though it originated as a popular adaptation of the Roman Catholic retablo tradition of painting patron saints on wood or tin. Within each box there is a key object or central figure for whose honor or memory the Nicho has been created. Nichos over time have become interwoven to Mesoamerican artist communities. In this workshop I join you to learn about Mesoamerican LGBT+ Community icons and theme yours either around community members you look up to, artists, storytellers, poets, your personal family, anyone you adore and want to honor. Participants, please bring with you to the class printed photos of loved ones or pre-preprinted images of community icons you admire and want to honor. Capacity: 30 People. Drop-In; No advanced sign-up.

Reduced inflammation and joint pain

Hot Yoga 🧘‍♀️

Each session is guided by a virtual trainer with audio, video, and subtitles — so you can move in the way that works best for you. Sessions run every 15–45 minutes in 24/7-accessible pods. For this event, we’ll help you choose a time and explore a workout (or two!) that feels good in your body.
Extras & what to bring:
Water bottle & sweat towel (hydration and sweat are real here!)
HOTWORX provides exercise bands, yoga mats, and yoga towels
Non-heated gym area available for weight training or cool-down stretches
On-site shower if you’d like to freshen up – bring your own shower supplies and bath towels
