Location:
Cotter Schools Gymnasium
360 Vila Street
Winona, MN

Yes, this event is free to attend!
Yes, kids and teenagers are welcome!

Winona has come together to improve the health and well-being of our community in this work with the Catalyst Initiative of the George Family Foundation and Marnita’s Table.  This gathering has been inspired by a number of important opportunities identified by community members through a community needs assessment, many agency partnerships, and the 2016 Engage Winona convenings.  The human spirit benefits from a sense of community and social support, which in-turn helps us to be more resilient and generates compassion for both ourselves and others.

What to Expect:
Expect to be enlivened, engaged and to expand your understanding of integrative healing and wellness, as we explore what it means to create compassionate communities and build our collective capacity for resilience. Together we will capitalize on existing energy, make new connections and build momentum as we share an abundant feast.

If you are receiving this invitation you have been identified as someone who will add and receive extraordinary value through your participation in this critical conversation. We are specifically seeking a vibrant cross-cultural mix of participants. If you know someone who will add and/or receive extraordinary value through their participation feel free to reach out to someone across race, class, culture or age and invite them to join you!

Our Intentional Social Interaction (IZI) is an inclusive forum to exchange ideas and build relationships across age, ethnicity and other means of self-identity in order to catalyze positive action toward building community resilience. You will learn actionable ideas about how to improve health outcomes and explore new tips and techniques for holistic self-care and building individual capacity for health and healing.

A complete feast is served with abundance to allay any dietary concern from vegan to halal to carnivore using the Marnita’s Table model (www.marnitastable.org) of a resource abundant environment where all can eat their fill! You are the guest of the Catalyst Initiative of the George Family Foundation and there is no charge to participate. Please dress comfortably.

Please let us know if you plan to be with us by sending an RSVP via e-mail to sammie@marnitastable.org.

We look forward to welcoming you.  If you have any questions you may call Marnita’s Table at 612.928.7744.
