On March 3, 2024, Still Life and Altha joined forces to host STILL LA: Getting Still—Together, an immersive event aimed at guiding attendees towards rediscovering authenticity and forming genuine connections in the fast-paced city of LA. As the bustling city faded into the background, STILL LA emerged as a sanctuary for those seeking genuine human connections in a city (and world) often dominated by distractions and superficial interactions.

 A Truly Memorable Experience

Altha and the rest of the STILL LA team welcomed over 300 excited guests to a stunning venue, setting the stage for the biggest Stillness gathering to date. After the arrival of the eager participants, the Altha team hosted a grounding sound bath which laid the foundation for the day's journey, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a state of relaxation.

The “Dyad” Stillness Technique

Drawing on over four decades of experience, Jim George the led the guests through the Dyad technique. This technique is a partnered Stillness practice that offered attendees a glimpse into the power of the present moment and served as the heart of the event. Described by many as "like drugs...but without the drugs," the technique fostered deep connections between individuals, leaving them feeling clear and energized.

Savoring Connections

Before departing back to their daily lives, attendees connected with one another over curated food and beverages, including a beautiful mocktail bar by Anima Mundi and Steens Manuka Honey. As guests sipped the delicious and health-focused herbal elixirs, they solidified the bonds they formed throughout the day.

Conquering Fear & Embracing Challenge

Letizia’s Reflection

"Performing a sound healing experience at the STILL LA event truly showed me the magical power of our mindset. When I was asked to host a sound bath in front of 300 people, my past fear of public speaking resurfaced.

However, the beautiful energy and love from the audience inspired me to release my fears and approach the situation with a mindset of growth and expansion. Amidst a world rife with difficulties, strangers of diverse cultures and backgrounds converged at the event, sharing a rare moment of calmness, joy, vulnerability, and stillness.

This experience truly illuminated how often fear exists solely in our minds, and provides an empowering opportunity to conquer our internal fears and confront our biggest challenges.” - Letizia, Altha Founder

Stillness Amidst Chaos

Throughout the day, STILL LA provided a break from the incessant chatter of the mind, guiding participants towards clarity and mindfulness. Through the practice of Stillness, attendees engaged authentically with like-minded individuals, creating connections free from the noise of everyday life.
