How to Support Quinta da Calma!



Hari Om Dear Ones,

Here is a membership drive letter from our beloved Divyajyothi telling you exactly how you can help to ensure that Quinta da Calma continues to offer its healing presence to the world.

Beloved Sisters and Brothers,

"We all need at least two homes: one physical home....but also one
spiritual home that is in our hearts that provides sustenance for our soul".

These words, spoken by Edgar Cayce(1877-1945) are as true, and maybe even
more so, today, as then.

For many persons who have done programs, trainings, workshops, and classes
here, Quinta da Calma is just that: their spiritual home.

It is almost 30 years ago that Al and I opened the doors to Quinta da Calma
with Integral Yoga as its foundation. A dedicated team of highly qualified
therapists, Yoga teachers, and other spiritual teachers and presenters have
helped, comforted, given treatments, classes, guidance and love to thousands
of people.

Now it is the Quinta that needs help.

The American stock market crash has had a severe impact on my personal
ability to continue to subsidize the Quinta. Therefore, for the first time
in our long history, I must ask for help. Although we have reduced our
staff and thereby our costs, we still need financial aid in order to allow
the Quinta to continue to provide and maintain the facilities to the
standard that our students and guests have come to expect from us.

For this reason, we have put together and are launching a new membership
structure, details of which follow. We are humbly asking as many of you as
possible to take out a membership in The School of Life at Quinta da Calma.

This great support will help ensure that we can continue to be here for you,
and to continue to be able to share the teachings of our beloved Gurudev,
who blessed us with His presence and wisdom in 1989.

Equally, if you don´t wish to be a member, donations of any amount would be
very welcome and gratefully received and, of course, personally
acknowledged.

Thank you for your support in the past, and on behalf of the team at Quinta
da Calma,
thank you for your help now.
Om Shanti.
With Love and Peace, Divyajyoti
