Uncovering Beauty Within the Fil-Am Experience & Vision Board Making WITH THE MAARTISTS SALON
Join us for an enchanting evening at the Callisto Tea House as we explore beauty within the Filipino-American experience! This gathering promises to be a celebration of culture, identity, and self-expression through engaging conversations that explore how our cultural roots and societal influences shape our perceptions and experiences of beauty.
Get ready to unwind and tune in with a soothing beauty meditation, then intuitively let your creativity guide you as we craft a collage that embodies our personal vision of beauty as a sacred, healing, and empowering tool. It's a party for the soul, where stories are shared, connections are made, and beauty is redefined. So, grab a cup of tea, bring your open heart, and let's celebrate the beauty within us all!

💞 YOUR HOSTS:
Alyssa Bernal of THE MAARTISTS SALON:
Hello! my name is Alyssa Rea Bernal (she/her)~ both my maternal and paternal lineages have roots in Pampanga, Philippines and in Los Angeles <3 I was born and raised here in Southern California.
We’d probably bump into each other at the local tea house, walking in the park, at a workshop or soundbath! My creativity is currently flowing through writing poetry, dancing Hula, and bringing this gathering series to life! My current creative mission is to translate my deepest desires, needs, and emotions into experiences of learning, care, and creativity. I would describe myself as curious, intuitive, and like a redwood tree~
Celeste De La Peña Vega of THE AYOS & @celestickels
I’m Celeste Vega (she/her), an artist that intersects spiritual beauty, wellness, and self expression. My vision is to creatively guide people back to their culture + true identity through art, writing, holistic beauty services, and yoga practices/events. I’ve been a hair stylist for 16 years (circa 2008 eMo pHaSe) and have been hyper-fixating on various hobbies and mediums since then. I am a romanticist that prioritizes joy, divine connection, and gallivanting through life from an open heart <3
