La Bamba NYC exists to inspire every woman, at any level, to get out and surf. We believe surf culture needs more stories of diverse, multidimensional women exercising their power in and out of the ocean. So we're starting with a wetsuit that goes against tradition, for women who do the same.
At Jacto, we set out to help reverse this problem with our original line of hand-crafted jewelry. By repurposing discarded skin and bone from the seafood we consume into eye-catching pieces, Jacto breathes new life, style and value into what the sea provides.
Astray is powered by people who find themselves lifting others up after it is all said and done. The ones who go against the current. The ones people count on to show up.

​
There’s a freedom that comes from the ocean, the sun, the warm wind. We find our happiness in those moments where we’re miles away from the daily grind. It’s a feeling we all want to capture. And that’s our goal: to supply you with handcrafted designs that bring the energy of summer, all year long. To give you a reason to smile or send a little sunshine to a friend. To live life by a simple rule. You don’t have to be near the sea to smell the salty air.

Meet Katie!
Katie routinely teaches a Yin-style class, where her students are set up into restorative postures and relax for several minutes in each posture. During that time Katie gives assists and guides everyone through a meditation.Â
Katie will be bringing a Mindful Eating session to the retreat, where you will have the opportunity to learn about your current eating habits as well as how to start incorporating a mindfulness practice around food (while eating some really awesome food!).
