Fixing &amp; Flipping Houses.&nbsp; Everyone dreams of flipping houses, but very few ever really do it.&nbsp; Why is that?&nbsp; Rehabs are fun and challenging, and the profits can be enormous.&nbsp; Plus, compared to other investments, you receive your profits in months (not years). Not to mention those HGTV shows are just so additive. So why don’t more people do it?&nbsp; The answer is simple; people don’t know how to get started.&nbsp; They don’t know where to turn, what to do, or who to trust.&nbsp; Well, stay tuned, because we have the answer. &nbsp; Guest Speaker. The answer is Don Costa, our very special guest speaker at our October meeting. &nbsp;During his presentation, Don will cover four crucial topics: (1) How to find houses to flip, (2) How to finance your purchase, (3) How to rehab your property, and (4) How to flip your house quickly for fun and profit.&nbsp; Specifically, Don will be discussing: &nbsp;

*&nbsp; Finding the perfect flip
*&nbsp; Funding your rehabs the right way
*&nbsp; Systems to manage your team &amp; timeline
*&nbsp; Tips to cash flow as you grow
*&nbsp; Maximizing your exit (getting the most profit out of each flip) &nbsp;
If you’re already fixing and flipping houses, or just getting started, you’re going to love Don’s presentation!&nbsp; Don is going to explain why “fixing &amp; flipping” is the most lucrative (and most fun) strategy in real estate investing.&nbsp; Plus, he has plenty of real estate experiences and examples to share with you.&nbsp; Most importantly, he has actually done it with hundreds of rehabs throughout California. Don is going to show you how to get started and be successful.&nbsp;
Date &amp; Time: Thursday night, October 8, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.&nbsp;
Location:&nbsp;Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue, LA 90034 (between National and Palms).&nbsp;
Parking: Metered street parking. Plus, there are also two FREE parking structures just two blocks away. The first structure is at the northeast corner of Motor and Palm. The second structure is at the northeast corner of Motor and National.&nbsp;From either lot it’s a short two blocks walk to the Iman. Valet parking is also available. Free Admission:&nbsp;Admission to our meetings is always FREE (complimentary), but reservations are recommended. &nbsp;

Unlock Your Most Powerful Voice
Have you ever wondered how today’s top artists sing effortlessly across their entire range without obvious vocal breaks? Whether you’re performing pop, rock, R&amp;B, country, musical theatre, or contemporary worship music, one skill separates confident singers from those who constantly struggle:
A healthy, connected mix.

Why Your Mix Matters

<ul>
 <li>Cracking</li>

 <li>Pushing for high notes</li>
 <li>Vocal fatigue</li>
 <li>Limited range</li>
 <li>Inconsistent tone</li>

Rather than creating singers who all sound alike, Adreana helps artists discover the strongest version of their voice.

Unlike traditional voice lessons, this intensive allows participants to:
<ul>
 <li>Observe live coaching</li>
 <li>Learn from other singers</li>
 <li>Apply concepts immediately</li>
 <li>Ask questions throughout the day</li>

Join author Alexandra Anton for a book signing of her debut novel Santiaga: A Freedom Tale, a moving story that reimagines the classical quest for enlightenment by telling a woman’s hero journey.
For centuries, some of the most influential stories of spiritual awakening have centered on men who temporarily leave behind family, responsibility, and earthly attachments to pursue enlightenment. In Santiaga, Anton turns that familiar narrative upside down.
The story loosely follows the plot of two classic texts: Hermann Hesse’s novella, Siddhartha, and the first written account of a female Buddha, Yeshe Tsogyal from 8th century Tibet. Anton was also partially inspired by a 2023 news story about three women who accused a Buddhist leader of a 2009 sexual assault in upstate New York.
“I was captivated by what happens when women place absolute trust in spiritual teachers, who then betray their pure, spiritual intentions,” she said. “I wanted to tell an alternative story of female spiritual empowerment that rings true for women living today.”
Join the community of early readers who rated Santiaga: A Freedom Tale ★★★★1/2 stars on Goodreads. Devastating, emotional, and introspective, Santiaga challenges the conditions modern women face in pursuit of inner truth and enlightenment to offer an alternative way.
“A quietly fulfilling and even subversive read.”— Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Alexandra Anton is a pen name. A former book publicist for bestselling and award-winning authors at Big 5 publishers, she earned a master’s degree in creative writing from San Francisco State University and attended Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference in Middlebury, VT. She lives in Venice.

The Village | Village Studios

October 24 &amp; 25, 2026 | Begins at 1:00 PM 
The Village Studios | Los Angeles
Join <a href="https://hvsconservatory.com/instructor/ron-harris/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ron Harris</a> for a two-day immersive Performance Camp designed to help singers and artists strengthen their stage presence, build confidence, connect more deeply with their music, and learn how to command a stage with authenticity.
Over two days at The Village Studios, artists will work on the skills that transform singing a song into truly performing it. The experience culminates on October 25, when participants will have the opportunity to put their work into practice performing with a full live band.
From Singer to Performer
Knowing how to sing a song and knowing how to perform a song are two different skills.
Performance requires much more than hitting the right notes. It involves understanding the story you’re telling, communicating with an audience, using the stage intentionally, working with musicians, recovering when something unexpected happens, and remaining connected to the music while everything around you is moving.
These are skills artists develop through experience.
This Performance Camp gives you that experience.
Rather than simply discussing performance technique, artists will have the opportunity to work on their own material, receive professional feedback, make adjustments, and immediately apply what they’re learning.
What you’ll work on 
Throughout the weekend, Ron will work with artists on the elements that create a compelling and authentic live performance, including:
<ul>
 <li>Stage Presence — Learn how to command the stage without forcing a performance or becoming disconnected from who you are as an artist.</li>
 <li>Song Interpretation — Go beyond singing the notes and discover how intention, dynamics, phrasing, and emotional connection shape a performance.</li>
 <li>Audience Connection — Develop the confidence to communicate with an audience and create moments that feel genuine rather than rehearsed.</li>
 <li>Movement &amp; Body Language — Explore how physicality, movement, and stillness can support the story you’re telling.</li>
 <li>Performance Confidence — Learn how to stay present, work through nerves, and trust your preparation when it’s time to perform.</li>
 <li>Working with a Live Band — Develop the communication, awareness, and adaptability required when performing with professional musicians.</li>
 <li>Developing Your Individual Performance Style — Discover what makes you
 compelling onstage rather than trying to imitate another artist.</li>
</ul>
Day One: Build the Performance
Saturday, October 24 | 1:00 PM
Day One is about developing the artist behind the performance.
Participants will work directly with Ron on their songs while exploring stage presence, interpretation, movement, confidence, audience connection, and the choices that can take a performance from technically strong to memorable.
Artists will receive individualized feedback and have the opportunity to make adjustments in real time.
The goal isn’t to create a “perfect” performance. It’s to help each artist discover how to communicate more confidently and authentically onstage.
Day Two: Perform with a Full Live Band
Sunday, October 25 | 1:00 PM
On Day Two, the experience moves to another level.
Artists will take what they developed during the first day and put it into practice with a full live band at The Village Studios.
Performing with musicians requires an entirely different level of awareness than singing with a backing track. Artists need to listen, communicate, lead, adapt, and remain connected to their performance while responding to what’s happening musically around them.
Participants will experience what it’s like to step into a professional performance environment and learn how to confidently work with a band—an invaluable skill for any developing recording or performing artist.
Meet Ron Harris
Ron Harris brings decades of music-industry experience to HVS Conservatory as a producer, former A&amp;R executive, and artist-development mentor.
His perspective extends beyond simply evaluating whether an artist can sing. Ron works with performers to understand how they communicate their identity, connect with an audience, interpret their material, and develop the confidence and presence expected of artists in professional environments.
Who Should Attend?
Performance Camp is designed for singers, singer-songwriters, recording artists, and developing performers who want to become stronger and more confident onstage.
You don’t need to be an experienced live performer to participate. The camp is designed to meet artists where they are while challenging them to take the next step in their development.
It is especially valuable for artists preparing for showcases, concerts, auditions, industry performances, touring, or the transition from recording music to performing it live.

Windward Plaza

Join us in the heart of Venice Beach for a night of art that explores the mysterious relationship between the ocean and the universe.


“LUMINEX Presents: The Infinite Between” explores the profound and mysterious relationship between the ocean and the universe, two seemingly infinite realms that shape human existence while remaining largely unknown to us.

Connected through forces both visible and unseen, from the moon’s gravitational pull on the tides to the rhythms that govern bodies, ecosystems, and celestial systems, the ocean and cosmos become mirrors of one another: vast, ancient, immersive, and beyond complete comprehension.

Through contemporary practices that unite art, technology, and nature, the exhibition invites artists to interpret these interconnected worlds through light, sound, movement, digital media, and sensory experience, creating opportunities to consider our place within systems far greater than ourselves.

At its core, LUMINEX Presents: The Infinite Between asks how encounters with the unknown can awaken wonder, humility, and a deeper spiritual connection—to nature, to the universe, and ultimately, to one another.


“LUMINEX Presents: The Infinite Between”, produced by NXT Art Foundation and Earth Calling, is funded in part by the Grants for Arts Projects (GAP) from the National Endowment for the Arts.
