Out of tragedy, into healing

One of the most frustrating things in life is really wanting to help, but not knowing exactly what to do.  After scrolling through facebook and seeing all the sadness, grief, frustration and anger over the events that happened in Orlando, we felt we had to do something more.

A few Saturdays back we began our community yoga class.  Our class has two main purposes, first, we want to help people to have the physical health that they seek as they exercise and strengthen their core muscles.  Secondly, we want to be able to support charities which need our support.  As we do this, we believe we will help people to engage more in healing the world around them.

In the wake of this terrible tragedy that occurred right in our back yard we want to offer the help and support to our reeling community.  As a result, for the next month we will be donating all the contributions from our class to the victims and their families through the Planting Peace Organization. If you'd like to hear more about them, please check out their website and feel free to donate: http://www.plantingpeace.org/

Although we just announced our contributions would be going to help curb human trafficking, we felt that supporting our immediate community was the most appropriate at this time.  In September we will resume donating to Operation Underground Railroad as we had done this past week.

We'd love to have you come support our community and help us all to heal as we join together Saturday Aug 13th @ 8:30 off Park avenue and Morse Blvd in Central Park of Winter Park.  Feel free to bring your friends and family also.
