NYSY Studio Presents: Yoga Retreat with Rusty Wells in the Island of Crete, Greece June 29-July 5 This summer we are taking a Yoga journey to Crete, the center of Europe's most ancient civilization. It is often referred to as the 'cradle' of European civilization, whose history, people and settings is as breathtaking as it is mystical.A Bhakti Flow class with Rusty is a journey in itself. Powerful and dynamic, it is a high intensity workout, in which you shed not only sweat and toxins but other things that weigh you down in life. Emotions flow, mental obstacles rise and fall, as the heart of compassion opens. You step away feeling peculiarly lighter, stronger, and clearer. You are on your yoga path.
In a quiet site of this popular island, we found a luxury hotel to host Rusty's retreat in 2008. Elounda is the most famous cosmopolitan location not only in the island of Crete but also in the entire Aegean Sea much acclaimed for its outstanding establishments in a magnificent natural environment. For these reasons, its Elounda's fine hotels proudly belong to the exclusive category of the Luxury Hotels of the World.

Are you thinking of spending part or all of next season in Goa ? Want something worthwhile to do ? Then start now. You can work with Friends of Assagao and Anjuna, a charity created to deliver financial and personnel aid to where it is needed in North Goa. This means all-year-round, part time voluntary work for people interested in helping impoverished young people and various other worthwhile projects. The main skills required now are marketing and fund-raising. We also need a website manager and enthusiastic sponsors. The charity doesn't actuallly run the projects itself but fundraises in First World countries for targetted delivery to where it is needed most. There are many groups, families and individuals in Goa who miss out on the cash that the tourists bring in. FoAA aims to help them directly through local initatives, some of which are still being set up. In the season, (betwen October and April) there is also plenty of work in Goa to identify genuine need and make sure that the funds get through. You need to be a self-starter, i.e. capable of coming up with fundraising ideas and seeing them through. Every little bit helps. The fundraising continues in wealthier parts of the world during the monsoon season, so you can start now, in your home town. The funds help poor but bright students through to professional qualifications, eco-projects, support an aged folks' home, and other initiatives, including helping schoolchildren with their spoken English (surely the single most valuable thing they can learn which will improve their life prospects). Interested? If you have experience in fundraising and want to help, email annie@cix.co.uk and mark the Subject line FoAA. Om shanti.
