Dear All,

You are cordially invited to our Fourth Annual
Mid Year Magical Mini Mela
June 6-9, 2008 (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 peaceof tranquil meditation to the joys of music, friendship and fun!

Our schedule will include:
-- 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 (chanting) afternoon

Workshops for this year will include: Heart Circle, Sustainable Futures and Finding the Light Inside: The Science of Meditation and Yoga and more.

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.

If you are interested in presenting a workshop or helping in childcare please let me know very soon! A few spaces for these are still available (Childcare people get in free.)

A few comments from past Mini Melas:
"An absolutely fantastic experience..."
"Don't really want to go home now!"
"I TOTALLY loved the winter Mela..."
"Warm, friendly, accepting..."
"A wonderful experience!"
"Beautiful people, beautiful place!"
