Creativity
We may not be able to change much of what we get in life–where and when we were born, certain innate talents and physical attributes, but we have the choice at every moment what we will create with what we have been given.
Will we create beauty and happiness where we can? The point of the yoga practices, I think and have been taught, is to lead us to choose what best serves more and more often.
For example, I cannot create a monumental sculpture if the only art material I have is a point and shoot camera. I could do nothing but lament my lack of resources, or I can still make art.
What do you choose with what you have?

Web Version of E-Newsletter: Holiday Greetings and Schedule
Dear Friends,
I hope you are all doing as well as possible in the midst of this holiday season and that you experience much peace and joy through the coming year.
I write to you in the midst of preparations to leave for a return trip to India, part of the preparations being to let people know what precisely is the holiday schedule for Capitol Hill Group classes. I will be gone the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s and William Penn House will also be closed during that time.
There is William Penn House practice this coming Tuesday, December 17th, introducing the wonderful Craig Haas, long-time asana student, fellow walker on the path, friend, neighbor, and all around delightful person. Regular time and place. I will miss being there with you, but I will be on my way north for a night in New Jersey en route to southern India for a return journey.
I’ll be back full of stories and contemplations from the journey–how could I not–and will begin to share them on the first Tuesday in January–the 7th–when the regular schedule resumes. Do come join the practice for your own nurture and also because the more people who come the more we give to support the work camp program at William Penn House. 100% of the proceeds of the practice contiue go to benefit that work.
If you want to be in touch in the interim, I’m planning to post some pictures during the trip; do check in with me at rosegardenyoga.com or find me and rose garden yoga on Facebook. I don’t know yet how often I’ll be online and posting; I expect that I’ll need a few days here and there free of communication devices. But I will enjoy sharing with you all at least a few times.
Peace and light,
Elizabeth
