Felt Like Old Friends

Dear KK-Berkeley Crew of Jan 17th, Thank you for a wonderful time, serving together at Karma Kitchen. We all felt like old friends, although it was the first time we were all serving together! As I reflect on the time back, I first think of the powerful couple minutes of silence that we shared at the end. Then, as we...

Haiti Relief - Sunday, Jan 24, 2010

Dear all,

Continuing last week's Haiti Relief fundraiser (we are donating part of our surplus to Doctors without Border), Karma Kitchen DC will donate ALL the donations received on Sunday, January 24th, 2010 to Haiti Relief efforts. We will take a quick survey during the lunch on Sunday which organizations we should donate.

Please stop by Karma Kitchen this Sunday to support Haiti Relief.

Blessings at Karma Kitchen

Last week's crew smiled through an incredible afternoon that included beautiful song offerings by servers in honor of a guest's birthday, an impromptu cheer for the water-repair-man (yes the water supply did stop working for a bit -- and yes it was eventually fixed :)), not to mention a special table activity that yielded...

All Will Be Well (Audio!)

I can't tell you all how wonderful and amazing it was to share those six hours together on Sunday. :-) I'm looking forward to many, many more.

And people were asking for it, here is the formal version of the song I sang:

Only At Karma Kitchen

Yesterday at Karma Kitchen ... servers were up front, the restaurant was pretty full right at the get go, and one of the plates weren't plated right ... so Krista volunteered to eat it herself. As she starts, we all feel like joining in ... and we do ... except that instead of feeding ourselves, we started each feeding each other! Only at Karma Kitchen!

Intentions For the Coming Year

It was a delight to share time together, in the spirit of service. For me, Karma Kitchen is a place to practice generosity and seeing so many such moments yesterday deeply enriches my personal journey. Thank you. In particular, I think of that old woman who came in, gifted Heather a hand-made card (with a dollar in it!)...

Effortless Synergy

Thank you guys for a rockin' time serving 106 guests last Sunday. It is hard to imagine that so many of us were meeting each other for the very first time! Kevin admitted that at work he's usually checking his watch every half hour, but he never once realized that it was six hours at Karma Kitchen! Dilip was...

Karma Kitchen: Much More Than A Meal

Dear Friends, Funny how certain moments in a day stand out with such clarity. The rainbow seen from a car window en route to Karma Kitchen yesterday. The sight of the crew sitting in a silent circle as I walked in, the elderly artist who dropped off yet another handful of bright blue handmade blessing cards with just one request,...
