About this Event
As Los Angeles embarks on a journey of rebuilding and resilience following the devastating fires, this moment reminds us of the importance of coming together in compassion, presence, and solidarity. During Frieze Art Week, The West Hollywood EDITION and Raise The Moral Studio invite you to participate in an experience that fosters connection and renewal through art, meditation, and shared humanity.
Join us for a unique group experience designed to ground, inspire, and bring people together in the spirit of shared humanity. Through somatic practices, eye-gazing, and the creation of Blind Portraits, we will guide you in exploring presence, deep connection, and the art of truly seeing and being seen.
This experience is led by Biet Simkin, a world-renowned best-selling author and spiritual teacher celebrated for her ability to redefine enlightenment through presence, music, and somatic practices, and Moral Turgeman, a visionary sensory artist whose interactive works explore connection, self-discovery, and the human experience. Together, they craft a one-of-a-kind experience that blends art, human connection, humor, music, intuition, and spiritual tools, creating a space where connection is natural, presence is effortless, and shared humanity takes center stage. As part of the experience, attendees will create intuitive portraits to take home, a reflection of the moment shared.
