Happy Anniversary One! and All!

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  - Mahatma Gandhi

Congratulations to Tania Spilchen and all of the members, friends and champions of One! International who gathered for a Gala last weekend to celebrate One!'s 11th Anniversary!

Together we enjoyed Indian food and entertainment, speeches from volunteers, a silent auction and eachother's company. 

Best of all, for the first time, we all got to connect live with the children, teachers and parents of One! in Mumbai via Skype to hear their voices and feelings! 

We were inspired and uplifted!

Thank you to all of the volunteers, staff, and donors who made the evening such a joy to attend, and to all of the friends who contributed their support and generous donations!

Thank you, Tania-Didi!  You are an inspiration as always!  I see your beauty, love, wisdom and determination reflected in One!'s children, and I see theirs in you!

Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus 

New!  I am delighted to be offering Tibetan Heart Yoga (Tong-len or "Taking and Giving" as taught by Geshe Michael Roach and Lama Christie McNally) on Saturday mornings at Yoga for Today!

In this class we sing the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum", the mantra of Chenrizig, The Bodhisattva of Compassion.
