Inspiration for Summer
Summer fun is like those times when our life blossoms and we are pollinated by all the little bees around us. Our inner garden grows with creative projects and colorful relationships. Sometimes we have to deal with weeds or pests, but in general nourishment abounds.
Summer joy is in the smell the roses, the melody of the bird song, the taste of the fruit, the feel of a lover, and the inspiration of a friend. Keeping joy inside is not easy. It likes to be shared with others. Yet it is a portal to all the beauty inside the moment.
Summer heart wants to be easy and carefree. It laughs and wants to embrace all that is playful and loving. It cries when it feels alone. It worries when under pressure. It expands when it looks inside and recognizes the eternal.
Tribute to Linda
In last year’s summer newsletter I talked about the inspiration I receive from the people who come to see me. I wrote the entry below about Linda:
Linda died in June of this year. In a video that friends recorded a few days before she died, Linda spoke about love. She received it, she felt it and she spread it as she shared her nearing death awareness with all who loved her.
Thank you, Linda.
A New Look for the Moon and Lotus Yurt
The yurt has a new and fresh look. The beige canvas side was replaced with a new dark green one. Foundation work was done and a covered porch decorates the front door. The grounds look green and new plants grace the courtyard. As always, big trees, wildlife and deep quiet make time in the circular space of the yurt very peaceful and refreshing.
Activities at the yurt include acupuncture clinic on Monday afternoons, qigong and meditation opportunities and professional workshops. In August I will host a qigong, yoga and meditation retreat weekend (see below). If you want to make an appointment for clinic, sign up for classes, or get information about renting the yurt for workshops or personal retreats please call the office at 345-2220.
Sun and Moon Qigong, Yoga and Meditation
camping weekend
Begins Saturday, Aug 16 at 7:30pm - ends Sunday, Aug 17 at 3pm
Please join me for a special gathering with movement, meditation, nature experiences and the joy of creating sacred space with each other. As a highlight, we will celebrate the beauty of the full moon with a special qigong practice on Saturday night and greet the sun with the ‘salutation to the sun’ from the yoga tradition on Sunday morning. The sun and the moon are symbolic of the eyes of the eternal in each of us. We will let that inspiration ease our hearts, free our laughter and expand our inner awareness.
What to bring: Tent and sleeping gear (some sleeping quarters available), personal items and toiletries, towel, clothing for warm days and cool nights, journal, musical instruments, blanket to sit on outdoors, food to share for Sunday breakfast and lunch.
Facilitator: Kamala Quale, Licensed Acupuncturist and Qigong Instructor
Where: Moon and Lotus Yurt, 30 minutes SW of Eugene near Lorane
Register: Call 345-2220
Fee: $50. (sliding fee available)

Tribute to Linda
In last year’s summer newsletter I talked about the inspiration I receive from the people who come to see me. I wrote the entry below about Linda:
The first person I saw today has been dealing with cancer for about three years now. She just started on a new course of chemotherapy and lost her hair again. She looked like an elf and had a sparkle in her eye. She told me about how much she was appreciating her life, her family and the gift of experiencing another spring.
Linda died in June of this year. In a video that friends recorded a few days before she died, Linda spoke about love. She received it, she felt it and she spread it as she shared her nearing death awareness with all who loved her.
Thank you, Linda.
