"I'm excited to be offering a Ritual Wellness Workshop at Terranea," says Amanda Giacomini, founder of Ten Thousand Buddhas. "This experience will combine a short inspirational talk about my journey painting Ten Thousand Buddhas around the world, followed by deeply restful yin yoga practice interwoven with ancient wisdom stories from the Buddhist tradition. This Ritual Wellness Workshop is designed to inspire your mind, heal your body, soothe your nervous system and leave you feeling blessed and refreshed."

Amanda has been teaching yoga for 20 years, practicing for over 25, and meditating for 30. One of her greatest joys is sharing the healing benefits of yin yoga (a slow-paced style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods of time) while interweaving mythic stories from the Buddhist and yoga traditions. Her Ten Thousand Buddhas Project was inspired by a pilgrimage to the Ajanta caves in India where she saw a two-thousand-year-old mural of a thousand Buddhas meditating together. Amanda has taught yoga to thousands of people all over the world; from prestigious art museums and yoga festivals, to The White House and the Forbidden City in China. Her street art can be found across the United States from Washington DC, Miami, Palm Beach and Asheville, North Carolina to Seattle, San Diego, and Hollywood, CA. She has also painted murals in Panama, Costa Rica, Germany, and Japan.

Amanda will be painting a new mural at Terranea during the Daycation, which will be debuted the following day at the resort's 8^th Annual Seaside Yoga Gathering on Sunday, September 22. Located on the Palos Verdes Lawn that boasts spectacular sunset views over the Pacific, this event includes a wellness marketplace, tips from fitness experts and more. This event is complimentary and open to the public.

Throughout the month of September, the spa will offer specialty "Ode to Wellness" spa treatments. A choice of seasonal body scrub, manicure or pedicure, with an uplifting citrus scent that is an exhilarating mood lifter and  products that give long lasting deep hydration. Extend the joyous feeling of summer with these nourishing spa treatments that will relax your mind and awaken your spirit.
