The tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary this past December was devastating beyond words. 26 lives were taken by senseless violence. There have been calls to tear down this elementary school, to try and lessen the deep pain the families and community. Yet how does tearing down the edifice truly lessen the hurt? Even more so, how does it honor those who lost their lives? Newtown resident and a Connecticut team leader for the Peace Alliance, Veronica Marr has challenged that to truly honor the memory of those slain, the school should be turned in to a center for Peace Education.

Reflections on Kumbha Mela
My first view of Kumbha Mela was from a high bridge over the Ganges River. As far as the eye could see, there were colorful domed tents, temple structures, people moving about, even elephants walking slowly in the distance. This is the largest spiritual gathering on earth. For thousands of years, devotees have gathered here at the confluence of three sacred rivers. READ MORE

Seasons Greetings from Nepal!
This morning I was with my colleagues at our Office and we were joined by Nima (who now has a baby), Sonam and Chiring. We all talked about what a great time we all had in the May of 2011. One of the most beautiful moments and a time full of blessings we experienced. The journey that started from the troubled Kathmandu all the way up to the Lama and being welcomed by the community members presenting us their traditions are not moments we can easily replicate here. We are forever thankful for the opportunity to create such a special moment which was impossible without your support, love and guidance.
