Happy New Year, Beautiful Souls!!


Dear Wholehearted Friends,


I hope you are having a wonderful Winter Break!!


I just came back from an Urban Retreat with the Croydon Buddhist Centre. And guess what, I was part of the programme!! Yes, I was!! Everyday, I taught a Movement session: from floorwork to seated to standing; a combination of Pilates and Yoga.





On New Year's Eve, I was part of the drumming team, I played my Shamanic Drum, which created such a vibrant Puja, a Buddhist Ceremony to welcome and set our intentions for the New Year!!


Then, we watched the fireworks on the rooftop of the Croydon Buddhist Centre; and that was the best NYE ever!! There were fireworks all over us (South had the most, way to go South Croydon!!). My only wish would have been to play the drums on the rooftop while waiting for the countdown ... I feel so blessed to have been able to take part of this Winter Buddhist Retreat with the Croydon Buddhist Centre.




It was such a great way to connect with like- minded practitioners eager to collaborate with myself and The Ojas Centre!! Although this coming term is going to be hectic in terms of my full time engagement with my contracted employment which consists of working in trauma with Young People, we will take the time to build the teams to support the upcoming projects for Spring and the following academic year!!


Meet the 2024 team, please appreciate that I did not take the pics of all the supporters of The Ojas Centre for this coming year; especially of the person who has been helping me with my funding application (so next time we meet, we need to take pictures!!). And I am also taking the time to send my love to Janet who has been feeling unwell and who has informed me that she has now recovered!!


I hope 2024 looks as bright as ours!!


I am always looking for new collaborators, Safeguarding Officers, Dance, Yoga, Drumming, Health & Wellbeing Practitioners as well as Creative Arts Volunteers who can commit to at least one project. We are also looking for Confident Dancers for our Dance Theatre Company, so please do not hesitate to let like- minded wholehearted individuals know. The Art of our Practice at The Ojas Centre is to cultivate Kindness, Compassion and showing Care to each other.


From my heart to yours,


Wishing you a peaceful and joyful New Year !! ☮️🕉



AWA!
