Persian New Year Celebration benefitting CMBM

In the wake of the powerful Woman, Life, Freedom movement, we, a group of non-political individuals, have been touched, moved and inspired to raise money for The Center for Mind-Body Medicine’s effort to heal population-wide trauma that resulted. With the support of #CookForIran, we have organized a special and intimate evening of Persian food, drink and live music on March 18th in a spectacular NOHO penthouse to support this worthy cause and to celebrate the brave hearts of the youth leading this movement. The event will take place during the time of Nowuz, or Persian New Year, a day that signifies the rebirth of nature and the possibility of the rebirth of humanity.

This gofundme will provide additional donations to CMBM.
