CRREW is offering virtual and phone sessions to small groups. 

Some of our offerings include: instruction in self-acupressure, breath work and imagery, chair yoga, Reiki  and short cooking lessons! We are offering our sessions to frontline workers, community groups volunteering for food distribution, community-based groups and individuals who are without work or very low income. Other people may receive our services too - we ask for a donation if you are currently employed with a bit to spare. Please contact us if you are interested in our virtual services or are interested in volunteering at this time.

June 25th 12-3PM CRREW with Loisaida Wellness: Ear seeds, acupuncture, and peace in a garden! location to be announced.

June18th, 2020: Grab -n- Go Ear Seeds

CRREW (Community Relief & Rebuilding through Education & Wellness) - the grassroots volunteer-based group founded in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, is offering ear seed acupressure, self-acupressure and herbal tea outside of the Grace Art Space on 182 Ave C between E. 11th and E. 12th St on Thursday June 18th from 5-8PM and on Thursday June 25th 5-8PM. In case it is raining please be in touch for an alternate date.

We hope to hear from people stopping by what their self-care tools are. We think that the ear seeds may help people feel calm and also relieve specific pain. We hope that this little treatment may help people protesting by boosting their energy and building stamina.

We ask that all people stopping by wear a mask.

Please write to us with any questions and please share this information. If you are interested in an ear seed acupressure training at a later date, please let us know. We have taught adults and children in this simple application. (the ear seeds are seeds on a small piece of adhesive tape, placed at specific acupressure points of the ear and may remain on for several days).

Special treats:

Plant Gift-Away & Planting Ceremony

Sunday 6/7

5pm-7pm Plant Gift-Away

7pm-7:30 Ceremony

Haven Plaza: outside of 182 Ave C NY NY 10009 between 11 & 12th & Loisaida Ave.

5pm -7pm

Pick up your free gift seedling from DD at Grace Exhibition Space. All Spring through the big windows the grocery store line has been watching the seeds grow. The soil and pots from Campos garden. The basil seeds are organic non GMO from Campos. DD’s kale and tomato seeds are from seed swaps—from seed saving gardeners! Heirloom, organic, saved from their gardens to yours. Compost soil is from LES Ecology Center, plus potting soil from Sarah and Sue new EV Wellness friends. Sue brought me her Elderberry syrup. She’s also making her own algae. Wow.

Plant Give Away!

Campos Community Garden, Loisaida Arts & MoS Collective will have lots of plants and seedlings to give away Sunday 5-7pm. Two hours! Come and get them.

We’ve been busy during lockdown growing from seed with masks on and no more than three ppl in the garden at once. DD has been solo inside growing at Grace Exhibition Space. Alex, JK, Sonia and more are tending to their soil and seedlings.

A Seedling. A free gift

A Bokashi Mud Ball. A free gift

Pick up a free Bokashi Mud Ball. They are super soil fertilizers or river cleaners. Take one as gift from Dee Dee, Sonia, Rachel, Lily, Wendy B, JK and Harry. They can be crumbled and dispersed through out your garden or crumble a bit off and save the rest. Don’t put it directly in roots or seedlings. It’s concentrated. Throw it also in a the river with toxic sediment or algae blooms. If you throw it with a healing intention or prayer into the river it will sink to the bottom to restore the sediment. To make a measurable difference we’d need a million. Let’s go.

Right now maybe let’s grow high yield veggies and clean up the lead & arsenic in the tree bed soil around us. Plant or crumble the ball in the tree pits.

​

Thanks to Shig at Children’s Garden for 10 years our teacher,  for the EM-1 for the 10gal of Molasses. LES Ecology Center for compost. 🥰

Wed., June 3rd, 2020 you are invited to an Imagery session at noon. It is organized by the NYS Nurses Association and open to all and is part of a series to help participants find tools to cope with issues raised by the pandemic.

Wendy Henry of CRREW and on the faculty of the School of Images will be guiding you through several imagery exercises which we hope will give you a sense of strength and empowerment as well as offering a moment of calmness. The exercises are mostly short in length and call upon our wonderful ability to access our imagination to help overcome obstacles and pave the way for a bit of respite.

The Imagery will hopefully serve as a tool for you to access your inner wisdom to help build your strength as we face the long history of injustice and racial violence in this country.
