Dear Friends of Ananda Meditation Center,
As you know, the space next door to us has become available for rent and the landlord has made us an attractive offer to take it.
On Oct. 1st we had a meeting in the new room with about 15 people attending. Everyone seemed quite positive about the space and we have secured pledges for almost exactly half of what is needed to pay the additional rent in 12 and 24 month commitments. These go into effect if we take the room. Before we decide, we want to hear from those of you who could not make the meeting.
If you want to share in the joy of serving more people with meditation and yoga classes, a free weeknight meditation meeting, and a more flexible schedule, please consider a monthly donation amount that you can afford to maintain for at least one year and visit this page.
We are putting classes on our schedule now that we hope/plan to run in the new space.
Here are some ideas we are kicking around:
- Free weeknight Meditation Group with guided Energization Exercises
- Saturday morning Meditation Course
- Activity for Children during Sunday Service
- Wednesday night Bhagavad Gita Course
- Thursday night Raja Yoga Course
- Art Journey with Ashleigh on Friday
- An office with computers so we can work together with volunteers
Ananda Meditation Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Half of our income comes from classes and the other half through tax-deductible contributions. Without your generous financial support we would not be here. For nearly eight years we have been in this location and it has served us well. During this summer we have seen a steep increase in attendance during what has traditionally been a very slow time of year in the past. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday classes are all running near full right now. In years past, the center would be empty during August and most of September. Now several new people per week are contacting us, and we are signing up more people than ever before for our classes!
Joy & Blessings,
Turiya & Ashleigh
