SF Refresh's goal is to create six daylong citywide events that enable San Franciscans to receive free whole body care in community garden settings in 2011. Activities include: gardening classes, yoga, life coaching, meditation, trauma care, nutrition classes, massage, acupuncture, tea and coffee cuppings, movement classes, creative writing, art, art therapy, preventative health care information, and much, much more.
Community gardens are amazing venues for artistic expression of any and all kinds, and we are looking for artists and other creative types to be Volunteer Activity Leaders. These can be activities that are ends in and of themselves, or beautification projects that leave a lasting (and dazzling) mark. We are looking for:
-Muralists
-Sculptors
-Carpenters
-Knitters/Crocheters
-Painters
-Writers
-Weavers
-Musicians
-Fence Decorators
-Yodelers
-Performers
-Actors
-Dancers
-Everyone!
This is an amazing opportunity to connect with the area's community gardens as well as the community at large. It is also an opportunity for some self-healing as well, and after all, who couldn't use a little refreshment?
