For my birthday, I'm doing what I love: Yoga - a practice that teaches the power of empathy and truth while simultaneously preparing our minds and bodies for better effecting justice in the world. Please donate to MECA to help make my birthday special! I will be teaching and practicing yoga at 2:45pm and 4:00pm Pacific Time on August 25th. The 4:00pm class will have a virtual option. Donors, Palestinians, and activists are all invited to practice with me. The in person contingent will practice at the Laurel studio of Left Coast Power Yoga as well as a virtual contingent via Zoom! Because the 4pm class filled up so quickly, a 2:45-3:45 in person only yoga class was added. Zoomers, please note your class will be at 4pm California time! If you can't make it to any of the practices, donors will receive a recording of the class and the playlist! Yoga not your thing? You are still invited to donate :-D Please find all the reservation links here: https://takooda.net/meca_fundraiser Our birthday yoga will fund the Middle East Children's Alliance to provide urgent aid to children & families in Gaza. MECA's staff and local partners in Gaza are on the ground responding to the most urgent needs of children and families. Even if you can't attend the in person or virtual classes in real time, please feel free to donate anyway! I will send you a recording of the class as a thank you. Please give now to provide medical aid, clean water, food, psychological support, and more. Any amount is welcome! Here's a photo of me with my dear friend and collaborator Candi, doing tree pose at the studio!
