Seeds of Hope

This fundraiser was inspired by Mo's dear friend, **Nour**, pictured above, who made the courageous decision to leave the safety of Belgium to return to his family in Gaza. His dream is to rebuild a family farm that can help feed his extended family and become one small seed in the long process of rebuilding the community. We have an incredible group of artists and facilitators that have come together to offer a full day of movement, breathwork, music, dancing, and connection. It's a Win/Win: your participation not only supports Nour's family but also nourishes your own heart and body. 🌿 Flow of the Day You can sign up for the whole day or choose individual workshops—mix and match! 25 bucks a workshop 12:00–1:30 PM Tuning In and Co-regulation: Nervous System work with Joni Cooke (Dancing Crane Shiatsu) 1:30–3:30 PM Breathwork with Damian Kai Norman (Somatic Embodiment Academy) 4:30–6:30 PM FUN-da-MENTAL: Contact Improvisation Workshop with Delia Brett 7:30–8:30 PM Soulbender & Lil Rita Live singer-songwriter performance by Andrea Brett & Claire McGillivray 8:30–11:00 PM Dancing to the Beat Dance Party (DJ TBA) 💲 Suggested Donation $25 per workshop or $90 for the full day 🥬🌽 The Farm 🌽🥬 In the photo above, you can see Nour, whom Mo met in Belgium. Mo says: "He's a dear friend who lives in Khan Younis, Gaza. As you all know, the situation in Gaza is beyond words—beyond our imagination. Whenever I speak with Nour and his wife, Yasmine, my heart breaks hearing their descriptions of daily life. More than 96% of Gaza's cropland has been destroyed. While aid is entering Gaza, the UN reports that access remains severely restricted and falls far below what people actually need. In response, Nour came up with the idea of creating a large family farm project for his extended family—around 30 people—to help rebuild and revive their community. His faith, hope, and optimism are truly inspirational." Food sovereignty is an important step toward rebuilding Gaza, and together we can help make that vision possible.

Every contribution—large or small—helps Nour and his family move one step closer to rebuilding their farm. Donate here: 🔗 https://chuffed.org/project/177435-let-there-be-light
