The mission statement of the Loving Kindness Yogathon is as follows:
“It is our intention to raise awareness about the power of Loving Kindness. In a world where isolation and violence have become too commonplace, we will gather together in joy and open-heartedness to celebrate the generosity and gentleness of the human spirit. The twelve hour marathon of yoga practice and meditation embodies compassionate service in action and will raise funds to benefit two local charities. The Loving Kindness Yogathon is a completely volunteer supported event.”
On October 2, 2004 the yoga community of Eugene will participate in twelve hours (7am-7pm) of yoga and meditation. This interdisciplinary event’s is to be held at St Mary’s Catholic Church at 1062 Charnelton (11th and Charnelton - map)
. The goal is to raise $10,000 to be divided between two local non profit organizations. This year’s recipients are Healing Harvest and Birth to Three.
We plan to use the Helios and matching grant to help pay for printed promotional material. The $10,000 dollars will be raised through pledges acquired by folks participating in the twelve hour event.
Additional information:
Our matching grant was provide by The Soul Center
We are also seeking an additional 1600 dollars to help defer start up cost from any local business. There name and logo will be mentioned on the Birth to Three mailing in August to their 10000 members, as well as on all mailings and promotional material of Healing Harvest and Loving Kindness.
Please donate to the Loving Kindness Yogathon.
