We had so much fun today at the Recovery Picnic. Clients brought their families for games, volleyball, food, and quality time with their favorite staff. We had an amazing turnout — thank you to everyone who came out!

Today, we did an art activity where clients made necklaces containing healing crystals, dried herbs and flowers, and essential oils. Each client chose crystals and herbs that have properties that they want to manifest in their lives. Essential oils were added to each bottle at the end so clients can ground themselves through scent if they need it while they are on the go. Some clients chose to add positive affirmations to their necklaces, as well. The clients had so much fun making their beautiful creations!

Our clients like to go all out for graduation! We have homemade mole, rice, and cake. After walking, graduates are asked to paint a square on our wall to leave a piece of their legacy behind as inspiration for others ❤️

La Vida Nueva’s Easter Egg Hunt at Beach Park was a success! Staff and clients brought their little ones out for a day of fun, food, and fellowship.

Did you know? La Vida Nueva has been cleaning Beach Park for more than 6 months? We even have a sign by the park entrance showing that we adopted this park. Every month, volunteers go out to pick up trash, report damage and graffiti, and keep the park beautiful and safe for all to enjoy!
