Dear Global Friends on the Path,

A new moon and the Fall Equinox are upon us initiating the final seasonal turn of the year.  We offer you our best harvest and the seeds for 2013.

This year the Global Mala for Peace will have over hundred global mala events around the world.  The Global Mala is an opportunity to connect with the yoga community at large: across all borders, all styles of yoga, forms of yoga. This year I will be joining the New Jersey Global Mala which takes place in the $24 million newly renovated, Newark Public School's New School Stadium.  There is plenty of space for the more than 1000 attendees we expect on Sunday, September 23rd.  Global Mala NJ will run simultaneously with Yoga Festival by the Sea Global Mala event in Asbury Park.  There will be live streaming.  Together, this will be the largest yoga event in the Garden State, becoming one community.

Thank you to National Yoga Month and Juil Shoes for your support!

Love all ways,
Shiva

Dear Friends,

Yemanja's ocean canvas is where we will play at sunset by the fire this evening as the last nights here in Costa Rica. We will post some photos of the process on Facebook. Meditating with you all in this last squeeze before the first new moon of 2013.

Life is created by will and surrender, pattern and the mystery, wisdom and instinct, humility and courage. We are entering a 6-week Sadhana that begins with Makar Sankranti. 

May the new moon on Friday help us listen to our deepest calling and most grounded and joyous action. Where is our heart's evolution? Where can we serve and prosper? Go for radical happiness in the middle of it all.

Triple Love,

Shiva
