LA, Mindful Archery is coming back October 23–26. 🏹
Thank you to everyone who voted and helped choose the dates. I’m opening presales now for a series of beginner-friendly, hands-on workshops at Woodley Park Archery Range.
This is more than learning how to shoot. We’ll blend archery with breath, focus, presence, and embodied practice making space to slow down, play, learn a new skill.
Come solo, bring a friend, gather family, or make it a small group experience. All gear is provided, and no experience is necessary.
The first sessions each day will be 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
As those sessions fill, I’ll open additional times later in the day.
I need at least 20 presale reservations to make this LA offering happen. If the minimum is not met, everyone receives a full refund.
Presale perks:
First 10 bookings: 10% off with code GETITNOWLA
Booking with a friend: 20% off your combined total & groups of 6+ $50 off your total - DM me for details
Reserve through the link in my bio.
If you know someone in Los Angeles please share.
Your support helps bring this workshop to life🏹💗🏹

Interested in joining me to do some #mindfularchery in LA or SF?
Having bouts of anger and rage at all that’s happening in our world right now? I am!
Will Archery shift the cosmos? Probably not, but what it will do is give you a release RIGHT now and a safe place to put it - on a target.
I have taken 1,000’s of things to the range to annihilate and always feel better. I have also helped hundreds of others do the same.
Learn this skill quickly- don’t need to be sporty
Have fun while learning- who knew.
Be held in the safest space we can create together.
Sign up for both LA and SF in the links in my bio.
Love,
Angie

What a year! Happy Ten-year Wedding Anniversary to my lovely wife, @lorindatoledo ! Our main celebration was earlier this year with a trip to Japan, which was unforgettable. This weekend, we had a lovely dinner at @darlingbyseanbrock in West Hollywood. We also get to indulge in this nice Cabernet Savignon given to us as a wedding gift by @jamenicoleli . The initial plan was to open it on our five-year anniversary, but that seemed too soon so we chose to open it on our tenth anniversary. And here we are! Coincidentally it’s also the recommended time to enjoy the wine…nice. I also want to pay respects to my mother who would’ve turned 80 years young today! I miss her every day and I hope she’s smiling on us from above. Pics include us at Darling in West Hollywood; said bottle of wine; in our ryoken before the onsen in Hagi, Japan. Bamboo forest in Kyoto. Mom’s resting place. And our cats.

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month!

As we celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Latinx community, we couldn’t pass up mentioning all of the talented Hispanic novelists, poets, screenwriters, and creatives within the MFA in Creative Writing community!

Swipe to learn more about them and their work!

The wish for peace continues to resonate in my heart. ✨

I’m with you in feeling depressed, scared, and powerless as we hear the horrible news each day.

But when I remember your tears, your words, and your support for this project, I am reminded that I am not alone and that we are part of a larger community.

Thank you once again to everyone who participated in this project and to all who came to the exhibition.

Unfolding Memories is an ongoing project about war, peace, human rights, democracy, community, and love. Please stay tuned. 💖🙏
