Dear All,
You are cordially invited to our Fourth Annual
Mid Year Magical Mini Mela
June 6-9, 2008 (the Queen's Birthday long weekend)
Ananda Pali Community, Stanthorpe, Queensland
The Mini Mela is a chance for mid year spiritual renewal: from the deep
peace of tranquil meditation to the joys of music, friendship and fun!
We'll send all the details soon, but you can expect:
-- twice daily meditation, kiirtan (chanting), songs and inspiration
-- twice daily yoga classes
-- delicious vegetarian meals
-- fun childcare and youth programs
-- two sets of two-session workshops
-- enjoyable and entertaining evening programs
-- crafts and group activities
-- three-hour kiirtan afternoon
The Mini Mela is open to both newcomers and Mela "old-timers." It has a
similar format in most ways to our larger summer Ananda Mela, but normally
fewer people attend, and because the weather is cooler, the atmosphere is
more intimate and spiritually oriented.
If you are interested in presenting a workshop or helping in childcare
please let me know very soon! A few spaces for these are still available
(Childcare people get in free.)
A few comments from past Mini Melas:
"An absolutely fantastic experience..."
"Don't really want to go home now!"
"I TOTALLY loved the winter Mela..."
"Warm, friendly, accepting..."
"A wonderful experience!"
"Beautiful people, beautiful place!"
I'll send more details soon, but feel free to contact me anytime with
questions or thoughts,
With love,
Kamala
