You are cordially invited
to our Fifth Annual
Mid Year Magical Mini Mela
June 5-8, 2009 (the Queen's Birthday long weekend)
Ananda Pali Community, Stanthorpe, Queensland
The Mini Mela is a chance for mid-year spiritual renewal: from
the deep peace of tranquil meditation to the joys of music, friendship and
fun!
As always, you can expect:
-- twice daily meditation, kiirtan (chanting), songs and inspiration
-- twice daily yoga classes
-- delicious vegetarian meals
-- fun childcare and youth programs
-- two sets of two-session workshops
-- enjoyable and entertaining evening programs
-- crafts and group activities
-- three-hour kiirtan afternoon
Workshops this year will include:
-- Secrets of Yoga and Meditation with Didi Ananda Shamita
-- Reflexology with Val DeMontille
-- Heart Circle with Dada Ratnadevananda
-- Life Coaching with Alison Bright
The Mini Mela is open to both newcomers and Mela "old-timers." It
has a similar format in most ways to our larger summer Ananda Mela, but normally
fewer people attend, and because the weather is cooler, the atmosphere is
more intimate and spiritually oriented.

A few spaces for these are still available (Childcare people get in free.)
