| KULA |
| One of the many meanings of kula is a community of like-minded, like-hearted individuals who gather to study, practice, share, inspire and, ultimately, awaken together. This kula is established most firmly in the heart, where space and awareness can be held for any and all beings, anywhere in the world. Here is a small sampling of some of the people in my personal kula who are doing some wonderful and inspiring work. |
| ascent magazine |
A Canadian yoga magazine that offers stories, interviews, and editorials chock full of genuine heart and wisdom. |
| The Foundation for the People of Burma |
FPB has been doing some stellar work with the Burmese people in Thailand, where it is estimated that 1.5 to 2 million Burmese are currently living, having fled Burma due to safety and economic reasons. Only about 150,000 of these people are in refugee camps. The rest work legally and illegally in Thai fields, factories and homes doing jobs that most Thais will not do, and it is to these most of the funds go. |
| Green e Books |
