It is officially winter!!! In Crested Butte, this is really something we all appreciate, especially when we have already gotten over 100 inches of snow!
The solstice came as a very welcomed day. The return of the light to me means that things will start to get easier for us all. Even with the economy and the financial crisis that is happening, I think there has been even more personal and emotional crisis of late. So, for me, I am thrilled to be opening to the light in my own personal life, as well as for the studio.
YOGA FOR THE PEACEFUL is now a non-profit, “awaiting to have our 501(3) (c) tax exemption status.” In November, we sent out a fundraising letter to about 250 people on our mailing list to help us build a foundation to continue providing our services to the community and the visitors that come here. So far, we have received five generous donations and are hoping that number increases radically. We completely rely on the community and visitor support to keep offering our services, so I am hoping that small or large donations continue to arrive. 75% of teachers on our staff work for free, and I have an amazing board of directors and a list of volunteers that help make this studio the special place that it is. We are now doing outreach to the Adaptive Sports Center, Six Points, CBMR Ski School employees, free and donation classes, and much more to come. We can only do this with your support. With the help of my teachers, board of directors, volunteers, students, and friends, I will continue to lead us into 2009 with the hopes of providing people with the health and healing benefits of Yoga to take the world into a new paradigm. Please hold this space for us and stay in touch with your thoughts, ideas, and prayers.
God Bless Everyone this Holiday Season!
