And it’s real healing that Gaston is after. “I feel like the best way to fix this problem is mind, body, spirit wellness.” The food she serves is fresh and wholesome. “I serve organic food because that’s what I eat at home. I didn’t think to give someone less. Why is organic a privilege and not a right?” Her approach to healing is holistic. To support the many women she’s met who have been victims of sex trafficking or domestic violence, Gaston set aside space just for them. “Women’s unity is important; we know that from the ancient teachings. Women have always come together in these ways to heal.” In monthly “Goddess Parties,” Gaston invites superfood chefs, Reiki masters, crystal healers, card readers, henna artists, and essential oil experts to work with the women to help them nurture themselves back to a place of wholeness. Yoga classes help them reconnect with their bodies and cultivate physical strength. “We do beginners yoga classes because no one’s a yogi on Skid Row. I’ve never met a homeless yogi.”
