| |  Alumni Workshop Exploring Your Dreams and Desires: A Collage-Making Workshop
Collage work is so powerful for getting clarity on your dreams and desires and for keeping those dreams in the forefront of your consciousness!
During this workshop, we will spend time delving into the sea of your dreams and desires, allowing yourself to imagine the life you would live if you gave yourself permission to dream and let go of your perceived restrictions and limitations. We'll work with the medium of collage, using images that speak to your being. Images are considered by some to be the language of the soul.

| Naropa Prayer Flag Campaign | |  Your Participation Matters Most
in Raising Money for Naropa
Dear Alumni
Did you know that when foundations and corporations consider giving money to universities like Naropa, they usually ask one question, "How supportive is your alumni?" In other words, are those closest to your mission showing up for you because they believe in what you're doing?
This simply means that EVERY gift counts; every gift serves as visible evidence of a powerful intention of support for this unique place. Naropa is needed in this world.
Last year, 4% of Naropa alumni gave to the Annual Fund and we are excited to increase this show of support to 6% this year.This means only 150 new alumni donors need to contribute this year - so your participation matters!
You can make a pledge or promise of any amount and not have to pay it until June 30, 2012. And, if you make a pledge of $25 you can submit a prayer/aspiration that will be placed on a Prayer Flag and unveiled on Shambhala Day, February 22.
To make a pledge, with your pledge amount as well as your prayer/aspiration.
You may indicate the amount of your pledge,
and your prayer, in your email.
To make an immediate donation, You may add your prayer in the online form,
in the "Dedication or Gift" field.
If you would like more information about the Prayer Flags or the Annual Fund Campaign, or would like to be involved, please contact Andrea Auguiste, Associate Director of Development at
Sincerely,
Rodney Weiss (BA Contemplative Psychology, '04)
Joshua Hyman (MFA Writing & Poetics, '05)
