Victor's
Third Yoga Notebook
As
the Yoga Hall is underway, more good news is coming on Victor's
third Yoga notebook. Ganesha Press, has told us that the book
is now back from the printer and ON SALE now. Here is the review
from Yoga Journal:
"...
an idiosyncratic, uncompromising excursion... Van Kooten's own drawings
illustrate dynamic principals in our bodies, our psyches, and the
universe. His gift for illustration and penchant for poetic language
is evident on every page." -Yoga Journal
And, Ellen Toomey of Ganesha Press tells
us that Victor's book is a Finalist in the Independent
Publisher Book Awards 2004. See more information about all three
of the books in
Victor's Yoga Notebook Trilogy

- May 2004 - The Eftalou Yoga Hall building project in
Molivos on the Greek island of Lesvos is back underway avter a winter
break. Detlef
has sent new pictures showing the progress. For comparison,
you can look the pictures from last
month and the previous pictures of
the final excavation showing the ancient walls and where the
coins and pottery shards were found.
The Yoga
Hall roof is ready
Hello everybody,
During the last two month we were able
to progress the building of the new Yoga-Centre quite well.
The roof is ready and we are working on the first coat of the plaster.
Beside we started to
install the electricity as well as the pipes for watersupply. The
carperter is working on the doors and windows.
So, in general everything is just working
fine.
A few days ago Angela and Victor have arrived
in Molyvos and they have seen the building first time in real. They
had left here last year in July, when there was just a big hole
in the ground with all the arceological walls...
Now they are really happy, also about the
fact that the building is fitting nicely into the landscape and
not disturbing the beauty of the Eftalou valley.
The Master Plasterer
The second cote of the plastering will
be in a matching colour with the nature around, and Victor and Angela
themselfs will take care to do the propper mixing.
I shall express how thankfull both of them
are about all the support they have got from so many friends to
realise the creation of this future Yoga Centre.
May all be fine with you
Love Detlef

The 2004 Workshops
Angela sent a note with a few pictures from the Sidney,
BC workshop: "I don't think the photos need titles, the faces
are fun
and speak for themselves!"
For the full schedule of the 2004 Workshops see the Workshops
page.
Victor's
Tea
At the Chapel Hill workshop last year, as he has done often in his
travels, Victor brewed up his tea for the participants. Several
people asked for the recipe. Here
it is.
Yoga
Poetry
Angela has sent a poem from the Harbin workshop.
A tall guy with wild hair and an infectious smile handed me two
pieces of paper at the Chapel Hill workshop. And then there is the
Ohio Poem from Yellow Springs several years back. Take
a look...
Background
on the Yoga Hall:
Angela
and Victor have purchased just over an acre of land on the island
of Lesvos, Greece and have started construction on a
yoga hall. You can look the pictures
from last month and the previous pictures
of the final excavation showing the ancient walls and where
the coins and pottery shards were found. Victor has been sending
original water colors in appreciation
to the support people are giving in this project.
The
Yoga Hall on Lesvos will be a place where many future yogis will
be able to go to explore and expand their practice, as well as a
home base for Angela and Victor.
Donations, pre-purchases
of the Molivos Workshop on Lesvos, selections
from Victor's Gallery 1 or Gallery
2, or just contributions from your overflow would be welcome.
