Love Your Mama: Earth Day Workday & Egg Hunt

A big community work day to kick start the season at our Grove Street and the Elder and Sage Gardens downtown (BeLoved is the main community partner of this garden)!

Come out on this Earth Day weekend to be the change! Bring veggies plants, gloves, gardening tools for planting! Bring your carpentry skills and help finish the ramp for friends in wheel chairs to garden at the Elder and Sage Gardens. We will finish the day sharing about our BeLoved Tiny Home Village and the work of Human and Environmental Sustainability for that project and some tiny art making! This is a kid-friendly project!

Meet at 1 pm at BeLoved 39 Grove Street to begin the day working on the Grove Street Gardens! We will have an Easter egg hunt in the garden! We will be moving to the Elder and Sage Garden on Page Ave downtown at 2:30 pm

In the midst of a rapidly gentrifying City, in the midst of the concrete and asphalt, we build gardens . In vacant, broken, and barren spaces, we practice resurrection! In the face of climate change, we work for sustainability. In the midst of food deserts for our elders, we plant food. In the face of a segregated society, we build community!

Yoga in the Park Asheville

***Please read to the bottom***

💖Join together over-looking the serene French Broad river in this all-level friendly Hatha flow taught by certified yoga instructor Ceiara Cartony, ceceyogini.com

.
Suggested contribution $5-10 – accepting cash or Venmo @CeiaraCartony

.
This 75 minute class will start with a brief meditation/philosophical opening and move into a slow to moderate-paced flow. Intertwining movement with breath, we will open our hearts, create heat in the body, stimulate the brain & rejuvenate our well-being. Postures are always guided to offer modifications and variations to accommodate the very beginner to a long-time practitioner. We will close with savasana/brief meditation.

.
Limited props are provided(blankets, blocks & straps) on a first-come basis. Some mats will also be available. If you have props/mats, I encourage you to bring them! Please arrive early to allow time to settle and ensure you don’t miss centering(so important in this practice!).

.
Please leave your fur babies at home, I strive to create a serene class environment with the least amount of distractions. Classes are recommended for children 8+ but younger are welcome to join if they’re able to remain on their mat space(I’ve had children bring head phones or other quiet activities if they lose interest in the class).

.
We will gather at the east end of Carrier Park in the grass over-looking the river (turn left after coming into main entrance & park far left). Go beyond the picnic shelter just passed the little stream/bushes to the left.
