Family Yoga Camp
Where the trees are the wallsthe dirt is the floor
the ceiling is the sky
and the lights are the sun, moon and stars
“Children need free time to run in the wind, to play ball games, to sing around a camp fire, to sit quietly, …” Shanti Gowans

Shantiji's quote from PEACEFUL WARRIOR at Kidz Winter Camp:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
With genuine apologies to all who will find this message offensive, Shantiji.
