After studies have shown that the vaccine does NOT stop the spread of Covid in any way. There is not one single other establishment that is asking for proof of vaccination and hasn't been in many months. I think this is very unfortunate and sad and quite honestly shouldn't even be allowed to ask for proof of vaccination. Normal schools do not ask for this let alone a part time course. Don't recommend supporting this business.

After you finish your tests, for certain programs you are put onto a waitlist and they tell you they will call or email you if there are spots open. I took a test back in September and was waiting for the November waitlist. I eventually did get a call/email that were was spots open and you must register at 8am on a specific day. I didn't follow through as I decided on another school but now I constantly get spam calls from this school. Even when blocked, I get calls from different numbers from this school.

I took the Orange Lone for a job interview this afternoon. Let's just say I enjoyed this view. I…read morecame from the downtown area and ventured to beautiful place. I really love the Winnetka and Canoga Park area. It is a really beautiful part of our city. All stops also have benches were you can sit while you are waiting for the bus. Entering the bus is mostly empty and you can find a seat for the most part. The Orange Line is also well maintained and very clean. It passes often well at least when I needed it and it keeps true to the schedule with no delays. When you step into the bus and on the road you will mostly see beautiful suburban homes and a lot of empty fields. Coming from the big packed part of the city, I really enjoyed the view of the empty fields and mountain areas. The bus driver and passengers were overwhelmingly nice for helping me with directions. An area filled with nice people and bus staff.

However, from what I hear the metro bus is always on time. It's very useful if you don't drive or need to get to the North Hollywood station. Be prepare to buy you ticket in advance to get on the bus, or you will get a ticket. There is always undercover cops on the bus giving out tickets. I see it all the time, when I'm running. Cons: When running you might get a lot of reds lights that can take up to 3-4 minutes. From Winnetka to Balboa on topham there is probably 7 lights.

I lead writing and yoga retreats and have been looking for a place to hold local 1-day…read moremini-versions of my longer retreats. I needed a space that has room for yoga as well as plenty of seating and nooks and crannies for writers to sit and work on their projects. I also needed it to be affordable so I could keep costs low for working writers. I looked at dozens of places throughout LA before I found Good Life Academy. I was so thrilled to discover this beautiful, loved, and light-filled space! The main room is large enough to fit 10-15 people in a yoga class if you slide the furniture to the side; there is a full kitchen you can use to store lunches and snacks; the back yard is huge and set up with chairs and tables; there's also a side yard and front yard, and there are a myriad of options for where to write. And, best of all, Good Life Academy offers a membership for facilitators, where you pay a VERY reasonable monthly rate and then have access to the space for up to 11 hours a week and 10 people per event. (This may change, so check details!) The owners, Hayuta and Siggie, were welcoming and delightful from the start, and they have worked with me with all my myriad requests to customize the space (such as allowing me to take up kitchen space to leave snacks and mugs and a coffee maker there for my monthly retreats). I can't recommend this place highly enough. I held my first 1-day retreat there this month and it was spectacular. Everyone loved the space and the vibe and the peace. One writer even wrote 6000 words! If you are a facilitator of an event, check out Good Life Academy. Hayuta and Siggie will take great care of you as well.

We moved further away and therefore haven't been able to take lessons at VAW for years. The…read moreopportunity to join the World Building Workshop came up for us, so we decided that the drive would be worth it for my child to participate in it. My child is on the younger end of the age range, and I was concerned that the long session might be too much for them. When I went to pick my child up, they were BEAMING from ear to ear about what a great time they had. They said they were not bored at all and that they were now a BIG KID because they were able to be in class and sit along with older children. It motivated them to continue to create and explore more.

The price is reasonable, the location is charming and the teacher is a skilled, smart, kind, supportive, talented artist. When you walk into the studio, you are surrounded by different styles of art. I was floored to find out that they were mostly created by Miles. He's the real deal, a fine artist with patience and personality. I feel lucky that my kids attend. It's just a cool, peaceful place to be if you want to become a better artist.

She is not only an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond to make sure her students truly understand the material, but she also teaches with genuine care and intention. She creates an environment where you feel supported, seen, and encouraged every step of the way. She is warm, kind, and incredibly present--always taking the time to listen and guide you, both academically and personally. Her teaching style is thorough and thoughtful, and she provides knowledge and direction that extend far beyond what's required. What makes her truly special is the way she connects with her students. She creates a safe, welcoming space that feels like family, and that had a profound impact on me. I'm so grateful for everything I learned from her--not just in nursing, but in confidence and personal growth as well. If you're considering Serenity Nursing School, you'll be in amazing hands with Ms. Lorna. She is truly one of a kind.
