We felt your Love and Support. The land, people and the animals, wind, rain, stars, sun, no sun, all made the weekend magical. The hardest thing to do was…..nothing. Oh, it did feel good after awhile. Omkar & Radha

Thanks so much for your inspiring and warm devotion to the weekend’s success. It meant so much to my family and me. Spiritual counseling from a Tibetan Monk and 3 or 4 yogis on site – just doesn’t get better than that. Thanks to all of the Weavers for creating the loving context in which everyone’s highest potential could be realized. Hanan Isaacs
