Our foundation is in honor of and inspired by Teddy & how he lived his life.
Teddy Kradzinski was a musician — guitarist and singer for Apple Juice Jones — a yoga teacher and a friend to so many. He approached life with pure curiosity — experimenting with music, seeking a higher power through yoga, forming his own opinion on a topic and fostering judgment free conversation. He constantly reminded those around him that we never know what someone is going through — sending love to one another can radiate throughout the world. He was a vulnerable soul, his music and yoga teachings were a reflection of this. It didn’t matter to Teddy if he knew someone for 20 years or 30 seconds — he was always willing to stop, listen, and offer support.
Teddy physically left this world in September of 2021 from a fentanyl overdose after three beautiful years of recovery. As a foundation, we are committed to continuing what Teddy started through community, supporting one another, and maintaining a judgement free environment.
Tea with Teddy: A Book Club
Hosted by Jim Fabian
Our first month's book for August will be Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
Message Jim @jimfabian_ to stay in the loop and join the waitlist for our first in-person meetings in September
This book club is open to all curious readers and non-readers alike with a special focus on connecting people living a sober lifestyle or going through recovery. We will hold separate in-person meetings in Abington and Manayunk around the same time. Exact dates and times are TBD and will be shared a few weeks in advance.
Just a reminder: you do not need to read the book to join!
Discussion will center on the book, but everyone will have an opportunity to speak and share anything that connects with the topics.
Jim is also happy to meet virtually with anyone who would like support in developing reading habits or building a more optimistic approach to goal-setting—whether related to reading or other areas
