I got the honor to join more than 1,700 people last week who are invested in building Michigan communities. Building them, literally, brick by brick. Building our transportation. Building our image and vitality. And, building our spirit and health. The Building Michigan Communities Conference celebrated its 15th year with a name change that sharpens its
The Just B Yoga kids garden program got underway this Saturday. City Sprouts runs at the same time as Empower Yoga, encouraging parents to do yoga while kids learn about gardening and fresh produce and yoga. Emily White, a Just B Yoga instructor, is teaching City Sprouts. She also has some help from our garden
Yoga and gardening and art? That’s community building for sure! Weekends like this past one force me to reflect on our little community and how much we’ve grown. So many of our family and friends came to help paint our garden mural it was humbling. From very little seeds big things can grow. Just B

Spring was in the air at the Everybody Eats 2.0: Cultivating Food Democracy conference Feb. 23. Even though the snow was still on the ground, inside Trinity Church, the buzz of life and growth and energy was everywhere.

We love the world and we love yoga. So why wouldn’t we love World Yoga Day!? This year the world day of continuous yoga will benefit those suffering from hunger and malnutrition – those who have no adequate access and even RIGHTS to food.
