  • Hip Hop & Street Dance didn’t appear out of thin air; it was born from decades of Black and Latino creativity, resistance, and joy.

    Most fitness classes borrow the music without telling the story. This class does both.

    The education lives in the movement & the story lives in the music.

    As we move through body isolations, we connect those movements to African diaspora traditions: dances that survived the Middle Passage and evolved into rumba, salsa, and eventually the hip hop groove. When we count in Spanglish, it’s not a gimmick, it’s a reflection de nuestra cultura that has always been bilingual, layered, and alive.

    This is a space where you sweat and learn at the same time, without ever needing a whiteboard.

    We uplift each other.

    We move with intention.

    And we leave fuller than we came; mind, body, and soul.

  • A morning huddle is a brief, focused daily ritual — over a breakfast - designed to sharpen your thinking, spark ideas, and set intentional direction before the day pulls you in every direction. Huddles are guided by industry leaders in their fields.
    Here's how it works and what makes it powerful:

    The Core Structure
    You show up each morning with a short list you want to think through — challenges you're wrestling with, goals you're pursuing, or areas of your life you want to level up. The huddle gives each topic a moment in the spotlight so your mind can generate ideas, make connections, and clarify next steps. Huddles are guided by industry leaders in their fields.

    What You Bring to the Huddle

    • A project you're trying to move forward

    • A relationship or communication you want to improve

    • A skill you're developing

    • A decision you're weighing

    • A creative problem you're stuck on

    • A health or energy goal

  • The CLTRE of Leadership

    What if the most honest conversation about Latino leadership happened when the other gender wasn't in the room? I’m inviting you to participate in a panel conversation with the men.
    This is a structured social experiment — not a panel, not a workshop. A controlled disruption rooted in a simple truth: the stories we carry about what it means to lead are inseparable from the stories we inherited about what it means to be a Latino man or a Latina woman. And most of those stories have never been examined out loud. In mixed company, they almost certainly never will be.


    So we separate. Intentionally. Unapologetically.

    Two rooms. One directive: tell the truth about what's actually blocking you.


    No performance. No code-switching. No editing for the room. Just the unfiltered, unpolished reality of what it costs to lead from inside a culture that is simultaneously your greatest strength and your most complex inheritance.


    In the women's room, the conversation goes somewhere real:
    The double bind of being a Latina leader — too assertive for the culture, not assertive enough for the boardroom. The weight of being the first, the only, the one everyone is watching. The guilt of out learning your family. The exhaustion of being strong for everyone while quietly falling apart. What respect demanded they silence. What the family expected they sacrifice. What ambition cost them in relationships, in belonging, in identity.

    In the men's room, a different but equally buried truth surfaces:
    What machismo actually costs — not as a talking point, but as a lived, embodied weight. The performance of having it together when everything is uncertain. The isolation of being the provider, the protector, the one who doesn't ask for help because asking was never modeled as strength. The pressure of first-generation success and the grief that quietly follows it. The version of masculinity handed down that has no room for doubt, for softness, for admitting the blueprint doesn't fit anymore.

    And the question underneath all of it: Who am I allowed to be when no one's watching?

  • Finding the Funny — Humor, Survival, and Storytelling in CLTRE


    This dynamic conversation brings together Latino comedians for an honest, funny, and deeply human conversation about how they became “the funny one.” What begins with laughter quickly reveals something more meaningful: in many Latino households, humor isn’t just entertainment — it’s a survival skill.

    Through personal stories and sharp insight, our panelists will reflect on how comedy often started at the dinner table, in crowded living rooms, imitating relatives, or easing tension during moments of financial stress, cultural conflict, or generational pressure. For many, being funny was a way to navigate language barriers, first-generation expectations, identity struggles, and the unspoken rule to stay strong no matter what.

    This session explores how comedy evolves from a coping mechanism to a calling — how personal pain becomes shared laughter, and how laughter becomes a bridge to healing. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of humor as resilience, cultural commentary, and leadership — all delivered in a way that keeps the room engaged, reflective, and laughing.

    *Light bites will be available.

  • BREATHE is your permission to step away.
    In the middle of a packed agenda, this break is intentionally left open, no programming, no expectations, no pressure to network or engage. It’s simply time set aside for you to take a breath, reset, and check in with yourself.
    Grab a coffee, find a quiet corner, take a walk, scroll your phone, or do absolutely nothing at all. However you choose to spend it, this is your moment to pause, recharge, and move at your own pace.
    Because sometimes what you need most… is a minute to just breathe.

  • A Family-Style Dinner brings our Hive in a way that feels less like an event, and more like coming home.
    Long tables replace formal seating charts, and shared platters of thoughtfully prepared dishes are passed from hand to hand, inviting conversation, connection, and a sense of ease.
    The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and intentionally human. It’s a space where stories are shared, laughter carries, and barriers come down. Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting someone new, the experience feels personal, grounded in the simple act of gathering around a table.
    Because the best connections don’t happen in sessions, they happen when we slow down, sit together, and share a meal.

  • BLOOM is how we close.
    Not with applause, with exhale. The day asked a lot of you. You gave it. Now the lights soften and the music finds the part of you that's been waiting quietly, patiently, all week to just move.


    BLOOM is the part of the story where the work becomes wonder!
    You've spent the day being seen for what you do. Tonight, be seen for who you are.
    Give yourself your flowers. The floor is yours.
