Give it to me Raw

Can we as *individuals* can help rebuild the economy?


The point of this project is to get more individuals involved in supporting entrepreneurship, small business, local community and local food systems. WE can rebuild the economy ourselves, if we start voting with our wallets to support businesses/projects with values that align with ours.

If you think we're on to something, please learn more & pledge here:

My take on why this project is so important:

If you like the idea, we'd love for you to record a short video response here:

Thanks SO MUCH, and please let me know what you think!

p.s. In the interest of transparency, all money is contributed directly on the Slow Money Alliance's site into their account. The other grassroots activists helping organize this event and I are doing it because of the social benefit that we hope will result, and we are not getting a cut, or a fee or any sort of compensation :)

The oh-so-helpful SEC forbids us from doing anything that could be construed as "investment" (that was actually our initial plan).

We're trying to figure out a way to thank all of our contributors in a more tangible fashion, but it's likely the initial return would be the social benefit of demonstrating a different model for launching socially responsible entrepreneurs. If we get enough people involved, we'll get some great media coverage, which will help promote raw food, local eating, gmo education, etc....

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!! You give me hope we can make this work :)

ReAwakening

Good Morning! I just thought I would post to say hello to everyone, as I am coming back after a long haul of taking care of others who were in very bad straights, which in turn put me in very bad straights too.  I am back to being me now, and pursing the life I have wanted and missed for so long.  I am growing my holistics and massage practice in Coppell, TX, healing myself, and thriving! It looks like many of the folks I knew when I first truly embraced raw veganism are not around.  I was…See More

If you can do headstand, it is easier to do the Lotus position there then sitting. 62 year old Narayani explains why and demonstrates how to do Urdhva Padmasana, Headstand in Lotus, also called inverted Lotus Position. It is a more advance Hatha Yoga Asana. You should know the basics of Yoga before trying. Even if you can't try, it is beautiful to watch. Recording in Yoga Vidya Ashram Meinberg. In the background you can see a mural of the Kundalini Shakti going through the 7 Chakras.
