Long-time friends of Mindful magazine, Ali and Atman Smith and Andy Gonzalez of the Holistic Life Foundation (HLF), are doing great work with at-risk youth in Baltimore—as highlighted in our magazine. They took a break from a retreat happening just outside of the city to speak with us on Wednesday about what they’re hearing from their community.
HLF has planned an event for Saturday that will include talks and meditation. Watch the video below to hear they hope to achieve.
Most of HLF’s work takes place in West Baltimore where Ali, Atman, and Andy teach yoga and meditation to kids in after-school programs and other settings. If you want to learn more, read Mindful‘s feature on HLF, “Raising Baltimore—One Child at a Time.”
