The
Eftalou Yoga Hall building project in Molivos on the Greek
island of Lesvos is back underway avter a winter break. Detlef
has sent new pictures showing the progress. For comparison,
you can look the pictures from last month
and the previous pictures of the final
excavation showing the ancient walls and where the coins and
pottery shards were found.

Hello, and Happy New Year to everybody !
The winter break on the building site in
Eftalou was longer than we expected. We had extreme wet and cold
weather for about 6 weeks and even heavy snowfall 4 times. The last
time is just one week ago, and the snow in Athens was mounting up
to 3 foot in height. Here we just had about 8 to 12 inches but temperature
was declining to about 20 degree Fahrenheit some nights. Such a
strong winter we have not experienced here for ages.
Well, now it seems to get better and the
sun is warming us up again. In Eftalou we started with many workers
to continue the construction of the Yoga centre. Everybody is desperate
to get creative again. The concrete skeleton of the top floor is
completed . The bricklayers have started to erect the walls on the
top flour level. Two days ago we also started to prepare the wooden
construction for the terra cotta tile roof.

Hopefully the weather will stay nice for
some time now – if so, we will progress fast now, and I will
be able to send more photos soon – showing the yoga centre
with it’s new roof….

The 2004 Workshops have begun
Angela sent a note with a few pictures from the Sidney,
BC workshop: "I don't think the photos need titles, the faces
are fun
and speak for themselves!"
For the full schedule of the 2004 Workshops see the Workshops
page.
Victor's
Tea
At the Chapel Hill workshop last year, as he has done often in his
travels, Victor brewed up his tea for the participants. Several
people asked for the recipe. Here
it is.
THE
LOTTERY!!!
On the last day of our 2003 Ohio Yellow Springs
workshop, we held the draw for a free course in Molivos, Greece.
The Yellow Springs Lottery raised $5300 for the Yoga
Hall Construction.
So we are doing it again to give more people
a chance to support the Yoga Hall in Eftalou and to perhaps win
free tuition for a three week yoga workshop
with Angela and Victor on the island of Lesvos in Greece.
You
can make a contribution and enter the new lottery by mailing a check
for $100 to Patricia at the address at the bottom
of this page.
"And the winner is ...Shannon Mc Cord"
All proceeds from the raffle go to the building fund for the new
yoga hall. We raised $5300! and are grateful to every person who
entered for helping to make the dream come true!
Yoga
Poetry
Angela has sent a poem from the Harbin workshop.
A tall guy with wild hair and an infectious smile handed me two
pieces of paper at the Chapel Hill workshop. And then there is the
Ohio Poem from Yellow Springs several years back. Take
a look...
Victor's
New Notebook
As
the Yoga Hall is underway, more good news is coming on Victor's
third Yoga notebook. Ganesha Press, has told us that the book
is now back from the printer and ON SALE now. These notebooks are
from the teachings of Angela and Victor. See more information
about all three of the books in Victor's Yoga
Notebook Trilogy
Background
on the Yoga Hall:
Angela
and Victor have purchased just over an acre of land on the island
of Lesvos, Greece and have started construction on a
yoga hall. You can look the pictures
from last month and the previous pictures
of the final excavation showing the ancient walls and where
the coins and pottery shards were found. Victor has been sending
original water colors in appreciation
to the support people are giving in this project.
The
Yoga Hall on Lesvos will be a place where many future yogis will
be able to go to explore and expand their practice, as well as a
home base for Angela and Victor.
Donations, pre-purchases
of the Molivos Workshop on Lesvos, selections
from Victor's Gallery 1 or Gallery
2, or just contributions from your overflow would be welcome.
