Giving Thanks and Food Justice


If you want to support a great organization doing liberatory work in the Triangle please consider coming to the Harvest Day Flow Yoga class at 10:30am tomorrow.
I'll lead you through a reflective flow, with a collective intention. We will chant, meditate, move through an asana practice and we will end with a sweet svasana as we prepare to move into a day that may be filled with family, friends, or loved ones. 

This class is FREE, and we will be collecting donations in any amount to support Bread Uprising
Bread Uprising believes that every person has a right to food that is appropriate to that persons culture.  By food they mean delicious, nutritious food, comfort food, food of ritual, and food of celebration.  By the right of food they mean not just immediate access to food on the table, but the resources and time to choose, grow, store, preserve, prepare and share the food.  
This organization is amazing.  Harvest day can be so food focused in a gluttonous way, here is an opportunity to both take care of your body and quiet your mind while supporting and organization that is turning how our culture thinks about food on it's head and focusing on food justice. 
This class is all levels and is open to anyone.  I hope to see you on the Mat tomorrow morning! Register:   www.carrboroyoga.com


May you have a beautiful, heart-filled Harvest Day!
Michelle Johnson
