Alaya Community Updates: June 2006

Summer 2006 Newsletter

ALAYA HOUSE UPDATE
We have moved into the heat of summer, and we have a new spacious and fenced outdoor garden, so we can grow the wonderful veggies that don't thrive in the growing dome--potatoes, corn, broccoli, etc. We are so grateful for our multi-flo water system, which enables us to use all our water twice. In these dry times there would be no garden without it. We have 20 new chicks this year. They have their own mini-chicken house complete with outdoor pen where they will live until they are old enough to fend for themselves with the older hens. Our focus is on being an example of self-sufficiency and creating a place of beauty.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Generosity has kept Alaya alive over the years. Your ongoing support can help to keep Alaya vital and growing, of service to all who seek Ishvara's wisdom and who sense that "something different" must take place in the world at this time. If you value the presence of Alaya and Ishvara's work, please consider making a one-time donation or, even better, a regular pledge of support. Alaya is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit spiritual organization, and your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

WEEKLY MESSAGES
If you are not a subscriber to the Weekly Message, you're missing an incredible source of inspiration and support as you face consensus reality each day. Terry Grant continues to write these messages, which we send both by email and by postal mail. Many of the messages contain partial transcripts of Ishvara's talks, while others reflect Terry's experience of living at Alaya House under the leadership of Ishvara. You can view a sample message at our website by clicking on "Weekly Message". To receive the message by email, send a message to tgrant@ alaya.org with the word "subscribe" in the subject line. If you would like the message by postal mail, just let us know. We offer these inspiring messages as our gift to you, but we very much appreciate a $10 monthly contribution, more if you can afford it, less if you can't.
