A letter to all Kindred Spirits from
Delane, Visionary Director
Mount Eden Retreat
The Kindred Spirits Fair has taken place at Mount Eden Retreat for over 18 years. This blessed event has grown into a remarkable and colorful celebration of life, and a wonderful opportunity for networking, learning and sharing the pleasures of coming together in peace and harmony. There will be no Kindred Spirits Fair in 2008. I am in mourning, and cannot do justice to the demanding task of directing the production of the fair.
On December 12, 2007, my beloved husband of a lifetime, Harry Lipka was kissed by God, and passed into Spirit. It happened suddenly, without warning. Harry was a self made man, a survivor of the holocaust, a unique and entrepreneurial character. Harry made Mount Eden Retreat possible. He found the property in 1985, and offered it to me to create a retreat center. His hard work paid the bills until we were able to generate enough participation to cover our expenses. His generosity to Mount Eden was his greatest and most effective philanthropy. He was very proud of what has been accomplished here, and to honor his memory, we are having A MEDITATION SUMMIT at Mount Eden on May 25. beginning at 11:00am.
I had a spiritual awakening in the 1960's, and in 1981 I finally found a meditation style which worked so well for me, that I was able to make phenomenal progress in my spiritual development. In appreciation of the value of this tool I started a meditation group, and was able to help many people begin and sustain a practice. I never charged a fee for this, as it is a good deed to provide this instruction as a gift for humankind.
Each one needs to find a meditation style which works most effectively for them. I have been inspired to create a program to assist beginning, intermediate and advanced meditators. Mount Eden offers extraordinary spiritual energy for a MEDITATION SUMMIT. Beginning with a mass meditation in the form of a spiral dance around the labyrinth with the Peace Pole at its center, We'll be chanting and drumming in unison. After a Hug break, there will be 2 sessions offering three meditation choices with 7 different styles of meditation from which to choose, and also It won't all be quiet sitting. It will be a SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE! This day is a gift for all of you, from Harry and me, and since May 25 is my birthday, I would love to hug each one of you after the mass meditation!
A donation of $5.00 is requested to help defray cost. . Bring a picnic lunch, (we'll have beverages and healthy desserts for sale) folding chairs, blankets, instruments, an open heart, an open mind, and your joy of life.
TENT OF HEALING A variety of Holistic Healing Arts practitioners will be available to assist the body with the alignment of the Spirit and the Mind providing 15 minute plus sessions @$15.00. Sign up for an appointment in advance.
PLEASE BE ON TIME! This day is designed for sequential deepening of the experience, and will end with Shiva Dance, drumming and music.
VENDOR INFORMATION: We invite vendors of meditation related items to set up a table for the day. This will require a very reasonable vendor fee. Contact Creative Events Director Beth Visco for information at
