B.e. Easy Music and Arts Festival

10/12/2020

Hello Friends,

It's been a while since we've seen all your smiling faces and we want to share how the B.E. Easy Scholarship Fund has been helping young adults in their fight against addiction.

Twice a week over the last three years the B.E. Easy Scholarship Fund has funded yoga therapy classes at Wayside House, Inc. in Delray Beach, Fl. The center estimates nearly 300 residents have benefited from these classes. Alexandra Mylah Pachter teaches her students techniques they can continue to use to help cope with their disease even after they leave the center. Our goal when we started the B.E. Easy Scholarship Fund was to help as many people as possible with our limited resources and we believe yoga therapy is a powerful resource for young adults struggling with addiction.

As we reflect on this accomplishment we cannot help and think about all the people who have made this possible.

We honor and thank our volunteers, friends, family, directors, vendors, bands, fans, promoters, the cities of Fort Lauderdale and Lake Worth, The Bubble (RIP), Wayside House, Inc., Acoustic Art Creations, the talented production teams, our sound crew, grips and our sponsors. We remember the countless people we've lost to addiction and pray for those still battling this disease.

Please enjoy this video starring Alexandra Mylah Pachter and produced by Brett Eckert bretteck.com with background tunes by Adonis Guava available on bandcamp .

It is with full hearts that we tell you, B.E. Easy Music and Arts Festival is not happening this coming year, but we are continuing our efforts that have always been going on behind the scenes. We will continue to send teachers to rehabs for a more holistic approach to helping those in recovery.
We would like to send music, art and gardening teachers too so if you know anyone willing to dedicate some time to this cause please let us know at [email protected].
We cannot explain the gratitude we feel for the successes of the past 4 years and how many lives were effected through the counseling held at the festival, the awareness that was spread because of the festival, and the great memories that were made in a place where everyone could feel safe from social constructs. Thank you for your support over the years and keep your eyes and ears open for events related to this in the future to help society remove the stigma around addiction and talk about what is really going on.
BE Easy ! and much love from the staff and Evans Family

"The center will also be a place where a person in early recovery can go to do yoga, meditate and talk to people during the days and weekends. 'It’s becoming more recognized that alternative of methods of helping to treat addiction is a great advantage. Those services will also be eventually be offered in the recovery center,'."

A nonprofit in Watertown will receive $1.7 million to open a resource center for recovering drug addicts and their families. PIVOT is one of six non-profits throughout New York State to receive funding to help stop the he**in crisis in their communities.

"It definitely takes a lot of courage to implement significant change to become happier, but I know that everyone can do it. Even if you just start small, begin. Life is too short for us to not live at a 10x’d happiness level."

I grew up being taught to grit it out no matter what. And please don’t mistake me, I’m all for working through problems and challenges with your intimate
