RITAKA

 

Embracing Our Vision
Raising Our Voices for Our World

Organized by Youth (17-30)
Led by Youth

Thursday, August 18 - Sunday, August 21, 2011

near Asheville, North Carolina.

In alignment with the wisdom that young people have to share, the Huichol, an indigenous peoples of Mexico, have the word Ritaka meaning a phase of growth in corn when the ears develop. We are also in that phase of growth and are beginning to bear fruit in the world. Now is when we listen to our heart’s purpose and begin to bring our gifts into community.

With this vision in mind, we invite our peers to join us for a weekend on the land, in sacred space and in the space of community offering. We invite all the participants to bring a heart’s longing, gift, or idea with them, to share with those who have gathered. More information to follow in official registration... This event is designed to be affordable for all, and will cost 100 dollars including meals!

If this weekend ignites your heart, please join us! Please forward this message to anyone you know who might be interested (click on "Forward" in the footer) or go to the Ritaka web page (below) to print out a flyer and share it at your favorite yoga studio, food co-op, or college class.
