Sat Naam/CSU Community Garden Dedication - November 15th

On Saturday, November 15th, Sat Naam and CSU held a Dedication Ceremony for our Community Garden. The event was held on a VERY hot Saturday afternoon and despite the heat so many people ended up coming through and celebrating with us. We had some really delicious organic food a lot of which came from various urban farms CSU has set up around South LA. We shared, conversed, ate and had a wonderful time!

The Sat Naam Community Garden Workdays...

We've come a long way since our first work day back in June. With lots of time and hard work we've been able to transform our space and spirits. It's been such a beautiful experience to work with the earth and connect with people through that. I feel so blessed!

an update on the garden...

This is a recent photo of the Garden. Check out the tomato plants!!! Thank you to the CSU student interns who are helping maintain and take care of the garden:)

Sat Naam/CSU Open House - June 27th

Friday, June 27th, 2008, Sat Naam and CSU celebrated the opening of their new space with an open house. The public was welcome and food was prepared using the produce from some of CSU's urban farms. Lots of new and old friends came through to check out the space and see our Community Garden. It was a long exciting day for all of us.

"Changing Lives One Yoga Pose at A Time"

Sat Naam has been working with kids in schools in South Central Los Angeles for the last 3 years. Since then, we've been able to develop a close and meaningful relationship with not only the students we work with, but with their families and the faculty and staff of the schools they attend.
In April, we decided to take the cameras into the schools and document our Yoga In Schools Program that we've created. I think the end result is beautiful! To check it out go and to find more information about the program go to http://www.satnaam.org/yoga/. Thanks to all of the film friends who helped make this such a great movie!

Garden workday #1 - June 2nd 2008

Sat Naam had it's first Community Garden workday Monday, June 2, 2008 from 4-8pm at our new location at MLK & Normandie. We had a humble turnout, but were able to begin planning out the structure of our new community garden and the overall beautification of the outside of the space. The two photos show what we're starting out with. I'm excited to see how things grow and change as we get further into the project! I'll be posting up photos to keep everyone up-to-date.
