Meditation - David Gandelman: David offers monthly membership options for his Meditation School. Monthly offerings are a live Zoom class where he teaches about a topic and then leads a live meditation and a monthly live Q&A. Meditation School has been a total game changer for me. It was instrumental in my practice when I first started meditating and has helped me to create a deeper practice, integrate meditation as a part of my daily routine and to laugh and not take life so seriously all the time! Additional offerings include classes/events by other teachers, monthly group coaching and a resource library that will keep you busy (but zen) for a long, long time. So rich. www.meditationschool.us

Imperfect Foods - Imperfect was founded to fight food waste by finding a home for the imperfect or “ugly” fruits and vegetables that farms couldn’t sell to grocery stores. '“The more we learned, the more we realized that it wasn’t the food that was really imperfect after all; it was the food system. So, as the number of products we offer and cities we serve increases, we keep finding new ways to make a positive impact on our world.”
