Dear Friends,Happy New Year to you all. May this year bring prosperity, adventure, and the richness that comes from keeping your mind poised as an open question. I took this photo some years back in Hawaii at the top of a volcano. Since the solstice the days are getting longer again, and this photo brings the promise of warmer days ahead. Meanwhile, I’m going to hibernate this month to practice and ask open questions about our theme for next year: Bodhicitta: Burning With Love in a World We Can’t Fix. There is no limit to the ways in which this topic can bring insight and love into our lives and world. I am also excited to announce that we are now offering t-shirts for the year of the snake. See below for how to order. A heart-felt THANK YOU for all your support in our 2024 end-of-year Donor Campaign! We have had a successful campaign and begin the new year with much gratitude. Congratulations to Jai Levy who won the drawing for the beautiful print “In Meditation” by Matthieu Ricard. The second and third prize winners for the book, Notebooks of a Wandering Monk, by Matthieu Ricard are Chris Parmentier and Andy Karr. We rejoice in ALL of your merits for such kind support and generosity, monetary and beyond. Although we officially completed the Donor Campaign at the close of 2024, it’s never too late to give. https://www.middlewayinitiative.org/giving See our video below of the wonderful artwork we received in 2024 for the Losar T-shirt submissions. With deep appreciation,
Elizabeth
