Special Event


March 23rd & 24th, 2007
The Keystone Center

Practice yoga for a great cause! Even if you are new to yoga, now is the perfect time to come and learn more about the practice in a relaxed, fun and supportive atmosphere. Join Free Spirit Yoga for this special event and lend your support and friendship to a women's health initiative in the Jordan Valley.

Our own Nancy Feely, an active member in the Summit County yoga community, is Habitat for Humanity's volunteer coordinator in Amman, Jordan. Through Nancy's work in Jordan, she has become involved with a group of 12 nursing students trying to start a women's health and wellness clinic. In their efforts to develop a self-supporting clinic, these women with the help of Habitat and its partners, have developed a unique business opportunity. They buy lemons from local growers, make lemon juice concentrate, bottle it and sell it through the Fair Trade Market. The pilot program was a great success and to meet growing demand they now make syrup in larger batches and freeze it, thus lengthening its shelf life.

Free Spirit Yoga is sponsoring this annual yoga event to support The Lemon Project. Funds raised will defray the costs of bottles, hand juicers, storage, labels, coordination and planning. Your participation helps to create a sense global community based on friendship, connection and support. Please come celebrate life, friendship and peace!

We thank the Keystone Center in advance for providing their great space. It's easy to find and has the quiet feel of being in the woods at a retreat center.
