another year

From Akashavana on Tue, 26 Sep, 2017 - 13:42

That was enough of a heart stopper one may have thought – but Mara had...

A Conversation Worth Having.

From Threads on Mon, 25 Sep, 2017 - 22:18

Some thoughts about leadership in the Order

I wrote much of this article in April this year after some conversations with a small group of friends in the Order. I asked for feedback from a number of people and got equivocal replies, many of which I agreed with. I didn’t publish it as it the ideas never seemed clear enough, good enough, and I thought I could help more by trying to get into more personal communication. In the times since then...

Adhisthana Kula - An Update On Our Work (September 2017)

From Adhisthana Kula on Sat, 23 Sep, 2017 - 13:05

Over 50 years we have created an Order and Movement that have touched and transformed the lives of thousands of people around the world. The journey has been inspiring and challenging, and not without difficulties. We deeply regret where anyone’s involvement with our Order and Movement has led to suffering and...
