June Vegan Food Swap Box

June Vegan Food Swap Box

 

June is my third month taking part in the Vegan Food Swap experience. I've had so much fun designing boxes each month. The box I sent out this month was a before-noon-desk-drawer-survial-kit.

This month my swap box came from Cat of The Verdant Life. She may have also included a chocolate bar that did not survive the first night in my house to make it to the reveal photo. Luckily the rest of the box did survive and will make it to the snack bag for my vacation next week.

There is still time to join the fun for July, for more informaiton on how to join click here.

GET BLISSED OUT AT THE OLYMPIC TRIALS

You know that saying, “think globally, act locally”? Nothing illustrates those words more clearly than the 2012 Olympic Trials happening right here, right now in Eugene, Oregon.

Here in the lush Willamette Valley, we place great value on our local community and economy. We thrive on the seemingly limitless creative energy that manifests itself in so many different ways; from the dozens of local craft breweries to our historic Saturday market and an ever-evolving art scene. We are fortunate to call such a dynamic locale home.

Location

Coconut Bliss Booth
East 15th Ave. & Agate Eugene, OR. 97403
United States

Shakti Fest

Attending Shakti Fest for the first time was a sweet little adventure. Also known as Bhakti Fest Spring Ommersion, it took place in Joshua Tree, California over Mother’s Day weekend, in the same place where Bhakti Fest happens in the fall. The three days of Kirtan music, yoga, and workshops were nourishing, exciting, exhausting, and well, happy.  I had the wonderful experience of attending a Deep Yoga class led by Bhava Ram of San Diego.  The class was on Sunday afternoon just as I was feeling a bit depleted from the heat and dryness.  We were in a shaded area outdoors with live sitar and Bhava’s gentle voice leading us into poses of healing and acceptance.  It was exactly what I needed at that moment, and it helped me finish off the festival refreshed and peaceful.  Kind of perfect.
