Rainbow heart by Page Hodel in honor of Madalene

This beautiful rainbow of nourishing fruits was made by local lesbian artist and DJ extraordinaire, Page Hodel. She makes a heart every Monday in honor of Madalene, the love of her life who passed away more than 10 years ago. Receive an weekly heart of enduring love in your inbox here. I wasn't sure whether Page would give her permission for us to use this heart, do you think: "ABSOLUTELY YES YES YES AND MORE YES....I would be honored.Thank YOU for the great work YOU are doing." is a clear enough answer?

Reba Connell teaches Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindful Eating classes in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland.

She has completed several levels of study in teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, including a professional training program under the direction of Dr. Saki Santorelli and Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and a training in teaching Mindful Eating, through UCSD.

She is deeply engaged with science-based and traditional approaches to healing through food and self-care. Her trainings include Food As Medicine; The Gut Brain; and Preventing and Managing Chronic Inflammation: Special Focus: Nutritional Interventions. She has been practicing meditation and yoga since 1999.

Finding mindfulness, movement, and food to make big differences in her own healing from chronic pain, she feels called to share what she is learning with others and to help people make their own discoveries. She is committed to a feminist approach that honors all body shapes and sizes while collaborating in radiant wellness.
