Evolving the Mission: From Food Relief to Soulful Impact
For over two decades, Food for Life Global—and later Food Yoga International—has served as a beacon of nourishment and compassion, delivering billions of plant-based meals to people in need. I am eternally grateful for your continued support of this mission.
As the founder of FFL and someone who has walked the path of both monkhood and mindful entrepreneurship, I’ve come to realize that feeding the world goes far beyond food. It’s about consciousness. It’s about education. And most of all, it’s about guiding people to live with intention and soul.
A New Chapter Rooted in the Same Spirit
Food Yoga International is evolving—not away from its roots, but deeper into its purpose.
We are transitioning from being primarily a food relief organization to becoming an educational and guidance platform centered around Food Yoga—a philosophy that fuses spiritual consciousness with sacred food culture.
This new direction will:
• Continue highlighting and reporting on affiliate projects doing incredible frontline work
• Provide spiritual education, coaching, and tools through courses, books, and new digital platforms
• Develop products and services based on the principles of Food Yoga to empower holistic wellbeing
• Amplify my work as a spiritual coach, author, and teacher, while staying true to the spirit of compassionate service
What Stays the Same
Our core values—compassion, non-violence, and service—remain untouched.
• The website will stay live and serve as a portal to explore Food Yoga teachings, track affiliate impact, and access spiritual offerings.
• You will still be able to support affiliates directly, with more transparency and direct links provided.
This shift is not a departure from our mission—it’s a refinement. It’s a way to make the soul of our work even more visible.
