People ask me why or how do we "make chill" and what I like to say is chill is a state of being. My best friend said it best--we make love, we make war, so in the same ways, we make chill. 

And I believe we reach a chill state of being with intention, discipline, repetition, and hopefully achieved with happiness and mindfulness at the core.

In the debut season of Amplify Your Chill, your host and resident Chillanthropist, Geraldine Mae Cueva will explore how creatives living in the best city in the world make chill--New York, New York.
