Benjamin Manea’s ‘Beyond Sourdough’ lecture.

Celebrating the Giving & Thanks

together this time of Year.

Dona Anderson

Thanks to the gardens and gardeners
the crops and the farmers
the Bakers, markets and more ...

in this video I want to introduce you to a Baker.

I mean a real Baker - who learned the art and science of bread and more that feeds the soul.

Benjamin Manea  March 9, 1957 to June 15 2019.

New business owners, those not sure yet what to do, those you want to make a difference, just starting out or whatever your Dream is - you will find some words of inspiration.  

Even if you're not building a business or not looking for a reason to watch this, you may find something that lights a tiny spark in your Soul.

The video tells his story of becoming a baker and not just any baker as you'll hear and learn about.

You can watch the video on You Tube and click on the Show More for a link to more information and photos on Facebook. (warning they may make you Hungry)

We had the privilege to go to his bakery/cafe many times when we visited Penticton and fell in love with his food and Jewish rye bread. 

He had a list of special dishes for his lunch menu and my husband went for the pastrami sandwich that had little dishes of things to go with it, and borscht soup which were the best he ever had. 

Unfortunately he later learned he couldn't have both at one lunch.

I loved the quiche and the Greek salad.  Not only for the wonderful ingredients but also the artistry that was in every dish he served.

Best Part - there was NO take out - you sat, relaxed and waited until it was ready - your order made just for you and presented perfectly.  

Delicious food to soothe your Heart & Soul. 

Food made as it should be, &

  sprinkled 

  with Love 

Many Thanks to you Ben 💚

You reminded us about how the right ingredients
 still needs the right amount of time
to become perfect.

I want to share this information with you.

It's a video for Yoga teachers but I think everyone will learn a bit more about how in this case small things like lighting, a smell, someones breathing and others can cause a person to re-experience past trauma and elevate their stress.

Yoga changes lives and there are many types to help with different needs and health issues. 

Even if you're not involved in Yoga I hope you will view this short video.

In it we learn more about how things we may not be aware of can cause trauma and stress to build and ways to help it reduce for these survivors whether it's in Yoga or in other healing and group environments.

You may even have a friend or neighbor who is sensitive to things and this could help explain it a bit.

There's so much we can learn and this is one small piece.

I took a Trauma Sensitive Yoga course a few years ago and found this video a very useful addition to my resources. 

Thank You.
