WELCOME TO FUTURE ECHOES WELLNESS ENTERTAINMENT

Future Echoes Wellness Entertainment is a concept of self-improvement combined with fun and musical entertainment brought to life by three individuals. We are Rebecca Hernandez and Ray Centeno (founders); Esther Hernandez. Future Echoes (FE) offers a very unique form of wellness activities which you will not find anywhere else! A Future Echoes event normally lasts for one-hour and will include a varying mix of the following:

  • Breathing exercises
  • Meditation for stress reduction and concentration
  • Reiki healing
  • Chi-gong movement meditation
  • Mantra sound healing
  • Dance entertainment to our own original choreography
  • Color meditation
  • Poetry reading with guitar accompaniment
  • Trivia sessions
  • Joke sessions

Most of our audiences love to participate in all these activities. However, there are times when audience members prefer to listen to the lessons being taught. And of course, sometimes our clients love to sit back and just watch and enjoy our dance choreography, our poetry, the singing, guitar work and so on.
By the end of each hour of our events, our clients are always smiling, happier, more energized, encouraged and focused.

Our audiences include nursing home residents (independently mobile or in wheelchairs) – fully cognizant or even suffering from varying stages of dementia; participants in Adult Day Care programs; or the average working person.

Our clients do not have to have any previous experience in any of the aforementioned modalities. We will teach you everything! Handouts and complete detailed instructions are always provided.

The equipment that Future Echoes normally brings to an event includes: sound system; an array of beautiful, relaxing ambient music; PA system; congas; timbales; bongos; shakers; maracas; chimes; cymbals; bells.
