Contribute to Annie Pace’s New Shala & Win Valuable Prizes
Okay, just one valuable prize, but that would be in addition to the good feeling you’d get from helping out with a worthy cause.
Annie Pace, a certified Ashtanga teacher based in Crestone, Colorado (see map), is holding a benefit on June 9 to help fund the building of what sounds likes a really neat shala and retreat space in Crestone called Shakti Sharanam.
Annie’s written a heartfelt letter describing the property and her plans and intentions for Shakti Sharanam.
The future home of
Shakti Sharanam
To help generate funds, she’s holding a drawing on June 9th, 2006 for an Ashtanga weekend intensive for two at Shakti Sharanam (a $900 value). You don’t need to be at the event to contribute, buy raffle tickets (at $25 each) or win!
I was especially impressed with her plans to use straw-bale construction in the buildings. I stayed in a straw-bale house in Sonoma County and it felt very grounded. Plus it was great in the heat, which might be especially nice in those Colorado summers.
Here’s the pdf flyer for the Shakti Sharanam Benefit.

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! Really cool and very informative!
I am going to ask my friend, who is a great writer and and Ashtangi, if she might consider writing up a piece on Manju’s workshop in NYC (which she’s going to!) and submitting it…
