THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING VENTURE but will take a  lot of initial work to make it sustainable for future students who are incarcerated should they show an interest like this man has.

If you can help us by donating any suitable products, time, talks, or venue please be in touch!  We are also seeking someone to help us design a Charity Ball for fundraising purposes in 2012.

Very special thank you to Neal Goshal for leading us in a beautiful yoga class, organising the site and generally doing everything. The film, The Dhamma Brothers, was insightful and thought provoking, very good viewing.

A total of $1260 was raised. This will all go directly toward meeting volunteer teacher costs, thank you so much. We hope to hold further screenings as fundraisers throughout New Zealand. Watch this site.
