Saturday, July 9th: FREE Yoga Class & Cooking Demonstration

Jul11
2011
Written by chfestivus
  • Six artists, including painters and jewelry makers, to showcase their creations on Saturday at the Marketplace!
  •  

  • FREE yoga class from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.: Quiet Mind Yoga to offer free yoga class on the plaza.

 

  • Cooking demonstration from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.: Ibti Vincent will use Marketplace ingredients to prepare tabouleh. Ibti has spent her life exploring food, from cooking and sharing it to writing and educating about the need for —and the joy of— healthy, responsibly-produced food. The DC native spent 14 months (April 2009-July 2010) traveling the country on a bicycle to work alongside organic farmers, collaborate with school and community gardeners, scour farmers’ markets, and meet with food educators, chefs, and policy makers. (And, of course, cook any time anyone let her into their kitchen.) Since returning to the District to work on food access and education, she continues to write for magazines and blogs, including her own: http://abikeablefeast.blogspot.com.

 

  • Singer Olivia Mancini will sing some tunes from 11:15 a.m. –ish to whenever she wants to stop.
