Quinta da Calma needs our help




Hari Om!


As we all know, the financial situation in the world has changed dramatically over the past few months.


Sadly, one of those hit by financial disaster was Quinta da Calma and its owner, our very own beloved Divyajyothi (Sylta). Almost everything was lost and the future of Quinta da Calma is now in our hands.



Quinta da Calma is our main European residential centre and centre for teacher training programmes. For many of us, it is our yoga home. If you haven't yet been there, go! It is a haven of peace in a hectic world, a place to experience real living yoga and to marvel at the beautiful living example of selfless service that Divyajyothi offers to us all. If you would like to have a glimpse of this beautiful place and see what happens there (courtesy of the internet) just go to http://www.quintadacalma.com/.





There are several ways for us to help Quinta da Calma survive financially. One is to use it! Book your own programmes there, book up to go and take the programmes and trainings on offer, go for a weekend or a week for a private retreat - you'll love it.





The second way, for those of us with good financial resources, is to give a donation. You can contact Divyajyothi directly by email on groups@quintadacalma.com or write to Rev. Padma Priya on revpadma@gmail.com.





The third way we have come up with is for a Membership drive. This way, for a reasonable amount, we can all become members of Quinta da Calma and receive their newsletter - but most importantly of all, we will know that we are helping this beautiful place of serenity, of healing and teaching to continue.





As someone wrote to me recently - "the thought that Quinta da Calma may not be there in the future is absolutely horrendous". We'll be sending out a Membership Letter from Quinta da Calma very soon ... stay tuned to this station!





God bless. Om Shanthi.
