Registration required due to limited space. For details and registration, contact LaShunda at 256.549.4699, ext. 2126.

As part of this year’s focus on self-care, Dr. Hall brings her holistic approach to Gadsden through both the Summer Reading Program and Gadsden Reads 2026. Her work is centered on empowering individuals to achieve optimal wellness and to build lives they look forward to each day—offering transformative sound healing experiences and personalized guidance that nurture physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. This session will be held on the floor, so participants are asked to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and pillow, anything to be more comfortable on the floor. For the best experience, we suggest that participants wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to remove their shoes.

This is an 18+ program. For additional information, contact LaShunda at 256.549.4699, ext. 2126.
