El Arte de Nutrirse: Mindful Nourishment for Body, Heart & Spirit
Congrats to The Sattva Project on winning their second UNFoundation grant!
They're teaming up with La Paz Chattanooga on El Arte de Nutrirse, a six-week wellness series for 15-20 Latina women in our community.
The Sattva Project is a Chattanooga nonprofit that brings trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and resilience-building to folks navigating stress and hard seasons of life. This time, they're pairing that work with cultural cooking demonstrations, nutrition education, and fresh produce from local farms, all built for women juggling caregiving, work, and a whole lot of stress with very little time left over for themselves.
Six two-hour sessions will mix trauma-informed yoga, guided meditation, breathwork, and grounding movement with hands-on cooking and shared meals, held at the J.A. Henry Community YMCA and La Paz Chattanooga's kitchen. Local chefs, cultural cooks, and wellness practitioners are all pitching in.
Our $3,000 grant covers facilitator pay, groceries, bilingual handouts, and on-site translation, because good work deserves fair pay and full access. Sessions kick off in late September 2026.
The cohort is small, but the ripple isn't.
