A charity benefit in support of Global Growers and the refugee community in Clarkston, GA.
The mission of Global Growers Network (GG) is to increase the number of food producers who create access to healthy, sustainably-grown food and also to prepare farmers to be competitive in their local marketplace. Global Growers is an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, GA.
Global Growers grew out of the tremendous demand among international farmers, many who came to Atlanta as refugees of war, to reconnect to their agricultural heritage in their new home. Recognizing this exceptional talent, Global Growers connects local families to land, education, and markets in order to build healthier communities and strengthen our local economy. We are committed to cultivating diverse farmers who are traditionally underserved by mainstream agricultural service providers.
Global Growers prioritize serving individuals who came to Georgia as refugees/immigrants and who were experienced food producers in their countries of origin. Consequently, we have a primary focus on racial and ethnic groups who are underserved and underrepresented in our communities. We also serve all commercial farmers in Metro-Atlanta and the state of Georgia who have proven production experience and have limited resources for, or face significant barriers to, food production or launching farm businesses.
Global Growers provides land and agricultural support to develop hands-on production skills relevant to farming in the Southeast U.S. Our education program covers organic agricultural production, business development, and food safety. Global Growers partners with families who are growing food primarily for home (community growers), as well as families who are growing food primarily to earn income (commercial growers).
As always, free and open to all ages, with donations gratefully accepted for our charity partner.

Flying Mystics is an instrumental trio based out of Atlanta. Shamanic journey, sonic healing, higher consciousness and world music are common descriptions of their unique sound. They present their original and transporting music as an offering to the listener. The synergistic sound these three accomplished musicians create, according to writer Glenn H. Mullin is "Visionary and esoteric while remaining sensually intense and spiritually powerful"
Flying Mystics have just released their 3rd cd "Cosmic Lotus" and recently received the 2015 International Sound Therapy Association, Healing Sound Ambassador Award. Whether opening for Carlos Nakai, Peter Kater, Alex Grey Visionary Arts Festival, or the Drepung Loseling Monks of The Mystical Arts of Tibet, Flying Mystics appeal to the spiritual roots of the world, creating music that reminds us of our mystical origins.
Featuring special guest drummer Danny Stern.

The 5Rhythms® – Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, Stillness – are states of Being. They are a map to everywhere we want to go, on all planes of consciousness – inner and outer, forward and back, physical, emotional and intellectual.
In this 5Rhythms® Sweat, we will be dancing and exploring this progression - What we call "Waves" - for 2 hours straight with 5R Sweat Spaceholder Scott Houston and featuring live drumming by Danny Stern.

ChantLanta is committed to environmental sustainability, so in 2017 we will be continuing our recycling and composting program, in partnership with Compost Wheels. Our intention is to strengthen the connection between yoga practice and environmental stewardship. The first of yoga’s eight limbs is the yamas, which offer direction on living daily life. One of these is ahimsa (nonviolence). Stewardship for the environment can be seen as a facet of ahimsa—a way that we can be less harmful towards the planet. We’ve identified several ways in which we can reduce the environmental impact of this event. To this end, you’ll see the following at ChantLanta 2017: ~ The Church at Ponce & Highland now has water fountains with filtered water. We encourage you to bring your own water bottle; we will also offer water bottles at the ChantLanta merch table. We will not have any plastic cups or bottled water. You can also bring a reusable mug for beverages from the vendors! Or a spoon or fork, rather than using a disposable utensil. ~ We’re composting! All food and compostable trash will be picked up and used by Compost Wheels (also a sponsor this year). Look for bins marked specifically for compost. All food trash can go in! ~ We’re recycling! Look for bins marked specifically for recycling, and be sure that what you add is on the list of acceptable materials (on the sign). For example, taking a moment to quickly rinse a glass bottle makes the difference between making it acceptable in the bin or not. If you have questions or want suggestions, please contact Stephanie Kohler: stephanie@chantlanta.org. Thanks for your support towards our community being greener and kinder! Look forward to seeing y’all very soon.
Dates: Friday - Sunday, March 10 – March 12, 2017
