Before the holiday season gets underway, we want to ask you something: Is December 1st marked on your calendar? This is the first day of very first Center for Mindful Eating Online Auction. December 1st is also #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving.

Access to the Online Auction: December 1-9

We decided that rather than simply ask you for a donation, we would offer something in return. So we put our talents together and decided we would thank you for your donations by offering a good or service in return. Welcome to our First Online Auction, which will begin on December 1st through December 9th. We are teaming up with the #GivingTuesday campaign to connect charities and donors from around the world.

Would you commit today to supporting The Center for Mindful Eating during our first Online Auction? We will be offering courses and trainings by mindful eating professionals, as well as books and other items that will help to make you a more seasoned professional, you may even get some of your holiday shopping done as well!

Have you been considering furthering your mindful eating skills through an MB-EAT or Am I Hungry? We will have both in our auction - MB-EAT: Online Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Professional Training with Andrea Lieberstein and Am I Hungry online training program by Michelle May. 

When you pledge at our auction, you are supporting The Center for Mindful Eating's mission to help people achieve a balanced, respectful, healthy and joyful relationship with food and eating.

If you are not a health and wellness professional, we have items for you too! How does a weeklong stay at Green Mountain Fox Run in Vermont sound? Or how about a one-week vacation in a house near the sea in the Marche region of Italy? Or perhaps you want to learn from Lynn Rossy, one of the pioneers of mindful eating offering a 10-week online program through the University of MO called Eat for Life?

These are just a few of the great opportunities that will be offered through our GivingTuesday Online Auction.

#GivingTuesday and our first Online Auction isn’t just about next weeks fundraiser. As a 501c3 nonprofit, we rely on the donations from members like you.  No amount is too small. Your generosity helps to support the mission of The Center for Mindful Eating which is truly a David and Goliath story as we try to overcome the harmful, money driven voice of the billion dollar dieting industry. 

Your financial support and participation in the online auction will help more people discover the power of the present moment. Together, as a community, we will become stronger one bite, one meal, one moment at a time.
