From: Erika Linton Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2007 08:51:14 -0700 (PDT) Local: Fri, Jun 1 2007 8:51 pm Subject: Fun Events There will be two Open Centre fundraising events in Europe that everyone is invited to participate in! 1) Nanda is planning to organize a fndraising party in Holland for the Open Centre. The party will be an Indian style one, with good food, chai, and Indian music to dance to. It will also include lectures and workshops. The money raised through the entrance fee will benefit the new Open Centre in Spain. Nanda is planning the party for September or October and would love to work together with other sangha members in and around Holland to create the event. If you would like to offer your help please contact her at seatrotter (AT) hotmail.com . 2) Beka has organized a one-day yatra that will take place in the countryside around Lewes, East Sussex, UK on Sunday, 1st July. The idea is to walk in silence with an intention of peacefulness and as a movement towards opening fully to life, rather than reaching a destination. Each participant will pursue sponsorship (forms will be posted online) for the event. The walk will not be strenuous as we wish to invlove everyody. The aim is to walk no more than two hours at a time, stopping for breaks and short meditations along the way. The day will include about 5 hours of walking time. Everyone is asked to bring lunch to share and plenty of drinking water. For more information please contact Beka at (0044) (0)7960 520128.
