Hello Beautiful People!
* * *
For the past two weeks I have spent time in meditation, prayer and study in a circle of important books: The Bhagavad-Gita, The Four Noble Truths, The Tanach, The Bible, The Quran, The Book of Certitude, “Ritual” by Malidoma Some, “God is Red” by Vine Deloria, “Awo” By Baba Fa’Lokun Fatunmbi, The Rule Of St. Benedict and The Training of the Zen Buddhist Monk. Indeed, it is a circle of Universal Truth for me. They are all giving me direction to birth this wonderful vision of The Peoples Monastery into the world. For five years I have been on the path of an aspiring monk and only in the last few months can I say that I have truly begun to understand what my vocation entails. I will continue to do my best to honor it and you.

Our First Circle Session will be held on Saturday, May 10th, 2008 at the New York Theosophical Society at 3PM. The Circle will consist of a thirty-minute meditation, followed by a light vegetarian meal and a screening of a film. I will be sending out a more detailed mailing closer to the date.

From the very begining the vision has been real for me. Thank you Dyron for that vision and your extraordinary committment.
