SUMMARY:Collective Solidarity Fast for Gaza
DESCRIPTION:At a time when thousands of people in Gaza are facing malnutrition and starvation\, we are inviting people to set aside a day to fast in solidarity. Fasting raises our awareness of what the Palestinian people are experiencing\, and increases our compassion.\n\nOn Monday\, August 11th\, please consider fasting during the day and praying for the speedy delivery of food\, medicine\, and other necessities for the people in Gaza.\n\nAt 6pm\, we’ll gather in the sanctuary of the Spiritual Center to reflect on our experiences of fasting and pray together for all who are suffering from hunger in Gaza and around the world.*\n\nThrough our fasting and our time together\, we will build our collective hope and resolve to build a world in which the sacredness and humanity of each person is recognized and respected\, and in which violent warfare is no longer accepted as a way to resolve international disputes.\n\nAs a way to support those experiencing hunger\, given that delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is currently blocked\, you are invited to donate to a local food bank such as the Natick Service Council or to bring nonperishable food and hygiene products for our Common Good Mini Pantry at the Spiritual Center.\n\n*We are also mindful\, for example\, that millions of people in Sudan\, South Sudan\, and Haiti are also facing emergency levels of food insecurity due to destabilizing conflicts and displacement.

Leave feeling rooted\, radiant\, and reignited with the fire of your soul. \nBring a friend to share this sacred time together! \n✨ Energy Exchange per session: $15–$35 (pay what feels aligned for you). Your support helps keep this offering accessible to all as we build a welcoming community. If cost is a barrier\, please reach out—we’re happy to explore other options. \n✨ Payment Options: We kindly ask for pre-payment via Venmo (@akashacodes) or PayPal (https://paypal.me/akashacodes)\, but if you prefer\, you’re welcome to pay in person with cash.

I love how Judy guides you through every movement during your stretching to make sure you’re in the right position for your body. And then\, she separates you from whatever was on your mind by getting you to focus on the here and now. “\n~ Participant at Project Comeback’s programming for veterans and rescued horses \n“Judy has an amazing spirit and great techniques.  Her mastery and time studying abroad shines through every class.  Not only does she make accommodations for all levels of yoga practitioners including people with disabilities\, but she also has multiple versions of poses for those who want to try!  The best part is she serenades with a beautifully channeled song at the end of each class that really calls our hearts.  Judy is a uniquely talented person who is worth meeting\, and that’s no stretch!  Check it out!”\n~ Jonjy Ananth \nJudy is a fantastic yoga teacher with gifts of compassionate attention\, awareness of healing processes\, authenticity\, and spiritual openness. I always leave her classes feeling renewed and more connected in body and spirit. I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with Judy in other modalities of spiritual work and am impressed by her intuitiveness\, creativity\, and good-natured attitude.\n~ Ian Mevorach\, MDiv\, PhD\nDirector\, Common Street Spiritual Center \n“I started Judy’s yoga classes with little experience and skill in yoga. I found the classes easy to follow and was encouraged to change the positions to better suit my current abilities and/or limitations. It was an open and rewarding environment for learning with a great group of people. At the end of class\, I am uplifted by the channelled songs of love.”\n~ Aimée K. \nJudy O’Leary Thapa\, C-IAYT\, is a multifaceted wellness professional based in Massachusetts\, known for her work as a yoga teacher\, yoga therapist\, and energy healer.
