"When you are already in Detroit, you don't have to take a bus to get there."
~ Ram Dass
“Maybe that’s the ultimate take-away from a class at Detroit Evolution: seeing food not as a commodity but as a relationship with the earth, as an individual and a community, one not to be approached without a conscience.”
~Michael Jackman, Metrotimes
Greetings Detroit and all who grace us here!
Welcome to our early December Evolve Detroit. Angela & I thank you for taking a moment to check out our work and current offerings. We're sharing some exciting classes and are involved in some awesome events in the next couple of weeks. We hope you'll be able to join us.
Our Vegan Holiday Class is this Saturday December 12th and we still have a few spaces available. Angela just finished up the menu for this one. She'll show us how to prepare Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Tepenade Stuffed Mushrooms with homemade Walnut Parmesan, Polenta Cakes with Grilled Tofu, Onions and Spinach and topped with a light Cream Sauce, Gratitude Salad with Kale, Butternut Squash and Spiced Cranberry Dressing and a Raw Pecan Pie with Whipped Topping. We'll end class by sampling this healthy and tasty feast! Seating is limited for this class so please RSVP asap. All of the details are below.
We're also beginning to fill our very special New Year's Day Live Raw Yoga Music Brunch. These Yoga/Raw Foods events are experiential journeys where like minded folk come together and share. Dixon's Violin accompaniment to our yoga session and the following Raw Foods feast will be a beautiful and inspiring way to ring in the new year. Please consider joining us for this celebration. You can read more about this event and RSVP below.
Angela and I have also been doing a great deal of visioning and retooling in the last few weeks. We're refining our mission statement and creating a new infrastructure for Detroit Evolution. We'll be talking about this new vision and the Transition Movement at the first of two events at MOCAD this month. We're honored to be a part of Model D's Speaker Series: Green Initiatives Detroit! on December 16th. The event is free, but you need to rsvp to attend. We'll also be at MOCAD on Sunday the 20th for their Family Day. We'll be talking about the benefits of eating raw and offering two Raw Food demonstrations that both kids and adults will love. There are more details on both of these MOCAD events below.
I also want to remind you that Detroit Abides, our free movie night in Eastern Market will take a break for December. We'll look forward to joining you in Shed 5, amongst the pallets of potatoes, again in January.
Please give yourself a moment to take in the info we've gathered together this time around. We appreciate your forwarding this on to a few like minded or curious folks who would enjoy Evolve Detroit. We're already putting together a special Winter Solstice Edition to express our gratitude and share our vision for Detroit Evolution in 2010. During this busy time of year please know that Angela, Aya Eden and I send our blessings to you and yours!
In Health, Joy and Liberation,
Gregg for Angela, Aya Eden & Detroit Evolution

As part of our Local-lujah Holiday Season we've started to put together a little shopping guide of Detroit based small businesses. These small shops would really benefit from your support now and all year round.
