Gratitude Years ago, several of us
envisioned a community of liked minded folks gathering to do spiritual practice
in a fun and deep way, willing to share in open and honest ways. A real community of love and support to help us become that light we
were born to be; a place where the teaching was deep and profound yet not full
of mystery or mystique. I am very thankful that we have become such a place. We
are very grateful for all of you that have made this dream a reality.
September is a time of new
beginnings after the lazy days of the summer and it certainly is for us. We are
very pleased of our fall schedule of classes, the fullest in our history and
the most comprehensive in the region offered by our very highly trained staff.
We have an outstanding line-up of guest teachers for 2010 - 2011 coming to
share their wisdom and gifts with us and are truly blessed to have AnusaraTM
Certified and wonderful friend Marc St.Pierre offering bi-monthly Master
classes on Saturday mornings.
Shantala debuts our
devotional music (Kirtan) series. It is quite a gift to have such world
renowned musicians at our Center. Benjy and Heather are on a class of their
own. Our souls will rock!
We look forward to seeing
each and every one of you soon!
Blessings & Love
