DC Global Mala is
returning to DC!
Greetings and Namaste!
We are writing to invite you to join us in the second-annual Global Mala
Project, a
worldwide effort spearheaded by Shiva Rea, Sean Corne, Michael Franti, and
many other yogis, yoga studios, performers and activists around the world.
As it did last year, the DC Global Mala is set to coincide with the
Fall Equinox and UN International Peace Day, on the 21st of
September, 2008.
As many of you who attended last year's event know, it was a huge success,
raising over $12,000 for Trees for the Future in one day, and bringing
together 500 participants to salute the sun, take in a dharma talk, and chant
and sing at kirtan. Turnout was so high that we had to turn away many
people who came for the 108 salutations, and so this year, we are thrilled to
announce that the DC-GMP will be held at the ARC, a spacious,
state-of-the-art cultural center in Southeast DC. In addition to all
the events of last year, this year's venue will include the sponsorship of
the Mid-Atlantic Yoga Assocation (MAYA), the DC Mayor's office, the Boys and
Girls Clubs of DC, the Corcoran School of Art, the Levine School of Music,
and the Washington Ballet. Among other offerings, there will be a
"how to salute the sun" workshop for newcomers to yoga, acroyoga,
dance, and flying demonstrations, a kid-friendly yoga and art portion (free
for DC students age 14 and under), a food marketplace sponsored by DC's Java
Green, and a full-fledged Healing Arts marketplace. Performers and presenters
from DC and beyond will be there to offer live music and entertainment
throughout the day. For more on the developing festivities, please visit www.dcglobalmala.com.
If you are a studio owner, we would like to ask you for your support.
If you are an individual yogi, please save the date for the DC Global
Mala.
More than ever, we yogis of the nation's capital have the opportunity to set
an example of yoga as compassion in action, of meditation as peace on earth.
We hope you will help us in creating a sacred garland--a mala--around
the earth on September 21st! The larger our gathering, the more powerful will
be our message of consciousness as evolutionary prana! Please join us!
Hari Om!
In Love and Light,
Jessica Lazar, Annie
Mahon, Kate McNamee, and Debra Mishalove
(DC-GMP
Core Catalysts)
