Back to the Bay!!!


Half Moon Bay Habitat Restoration!

During our 2007 AYUDH retreat we visited a beach in beautiful Half Moon Bay. During our visit we helped remove invasive plants such as poison hemlock. By removing these invasive plants we created essential space for the native plants to grow and thrive, helping our ecosystem return to balance.

On April 5th AYUDH shall return to Half Moon Bay to continue helping in the on-going process!

Details

Departure: MA Center 8:30am Sharp!*
Return: We'll be back to the MA Center around 4pm.
Bring: Please bring some clothes you can work in, get muddy etc. Please also bring 5 dollars to cover lunch costs.

Circle of Love Letter Writers

Hello Everyone!
I would like to share Circle of Love Letters with all of you!
I have been doing Circle of Love Letters since 2007!

Circle of Love Letters is a group of people who write to others once a week for 3 months.
The people written to may have an illness, take care of someone, or just need to know that a complete stranger cares about them and that they are loved. It can be any sort of reason and the people who write can be any sort of people.

I have written to people who are caretakers, a person who moved far away from home, a woman in a convalescent home, people with illnesses, and so on. I have learned a lot about myself by this wonderful SEVA. It is organized by Amma devotees but you do not have to be an Amma devotee to be a Circle of Love Letter writer nor do you have to be an Amma devotee to be a recipient of the Circle of Love Letters. The people getting letters do not have to write back. However, they are told that they may if they want to.

You can send notes, letters, poems, art, tea bags and any other number of small items per week. There are guidelines and you and your recipients would be checked on via email, especially when you first start out. All the letters you write to recipients are sent through the "snail mail" post.

It is also a good support system. For example: My grandmother died this January. I let my the Circle of Love Letters writers know. Within the next few weeks about a dozen letters were sent to my family's house with love and support for me and my loved ones in a time of need. It was really good to have and some of the words written were so touching I cried.

So even if you are only interested, please feel free to contact me (Lara) and I can send you further information or refer a question to Sivamayi who is currently organizing the letters.

*It would be great to be participating with Circle of Love Letters as a group: AYUDH America!*

Thank you so much for reading!
