Beloved Community
Eayikes is entering its 9th year! What began as an idea on a piece of paper and a made-up word has manifested into something beyond our imagination, but remains rooted in the initial intentions we had when answering the call to make the world a better place:
One Year Later: An Update
A little message for y’all as we begin to plan again and facilitate more opportunities for us to connect and heal. As we begin to have the opportunity to do that more, and we all continue to discover what feels right or good to us at the moment, our most important focus is on holding that space, and getting us all back to feeling belonging, healing and empowerment. We hope to see you at our upcoming events. :)
The Power of Proximity: What Engaging with Community Can Do
Some homies thought it might be helpful if I shared a little bit about my experiences thus far going to protests/rallies and engaging in the Black Lives Matter movement here in Los Angeles. Being in attendance at these events introduces the idea of the Power of Proximity - being close to those who are suffering.
Find Your Unique Gifts: The 6 Principles of Original Medicine
The concept of Original Medicine is an indigenous teaching from the book, Transformational Speaking, by Gail Larson. The concept of Original Medicine is the idea that we are blessed with and born with gifts that only we have, because of who we are uniquely, and what we are, through our life. It is important that we share that with the world because it is uniquely ours, as if we don’t, it is left unshared.
Introducing Here & Now
Our latest project, “Here & Now” on EayikesTV, is our space to educate as lifelong learners while growing in compassion with different perspectives to share, being vulnerable, and to take part in the process of being human. It’s our space in the hearing now for us to use our voices to lend our platform to be a coalition of voices and our space for courage, compassion, and wonder.
10,000 Meals and Counting
Can you believe it? We've hit over 10,000 meals served! Now that's some wildin' people power!! We could not have done this without the generous and selfless support from our volunteers, drivers, partners, and donors!
Basic Human Rights
This is about basic human rights. The right to breathe, the right to be free in your existence, the right to be fed, the right to have shelter.
Resources for Equity and Justice
If you’re like us, starting your educational journey into this world can be very overwhelming. We have compiled a list of resources that will continuously be updated with new information.
Home-y Made Meals delivers over 6,000 meals
From day 1 to now, 6,000+ meals and 200+ volunteers have all been powered by word of mouth. Just another example of PEOPLE POWER!
Remembering Childernizzle 2018
In time, we'll for sure be getting back to this :) The Childlike Wonder and Community was flowing this weekend. Chilldernizzle 2018
Soulversations x Getting Grounded Community
“I played soulversations with my group of friends that I've known for the past 5 years and yet we connected on an even deeper level after playing!…”
Eayikes x Polo’s Pantry
We join forces with Melissa of Polo’s Pantry in this grassroots effort to provide meals for our most vulnerable neighbors.
