sasp yurt project The SASP Multi-purpose yurt will provide additional space to house a variety of activities for its community of friends and supporters. WATCH THE PROGRESS OF THE YURT CONSTRUCTION IN THE SLIDE SHOW TO THE RIGHT One of the original inspirations for the SASP Yurt was to provide a large, warm, enclosed space for the children of the SASP community who attend the monthly retreats. In recent months, we have expanded our retreat activities to include a special program for the children so that they may also feel more a part of the growing "gnostic community" that the adult members of the community have been striving toward. The 30-foot diameter yurt is located in the northeast corner of the SASP property next to the tennis court. This semi-permanent structure is being built on a secure foundation with wall-to-wall carpeting, screened windows and central fan for the summer months and a heating system for the winter months. (The roof of the yurt has a 15-year warranty.) In addition to providing a warm, welcoming space for the SASP children's program, the yurt will allow additional space for presentations, concerts, study programs and various indoor physical activities (asanas, tai chi, pranayama, etc). It will provide a larger group space for audio visual presentations or other presentations that would be unsuitable for the meditation hall. The total cost of the yurt (with foundation, carpeting and heating) is approximately $20,000. In order to meet our goal, we are asking for financial support ASAP. To support the project, we welcome donations made online via credit card here. Or, if you prefer, please call us at 800-735-4691, ext 4. We also welcome checks via mail made out to SASP at 2621 W Hwy 12, Lodi, CA 95241. Thanks, ~ dakshina. UPDATE: To date, we have raised a total of $6793. During our April retreat, the youth group created beautiful flower pots which were offered in a Silent Auction to raise money for the yurt project. A total of $252 was raised. You can see photos of the Silent Auction here.
