Dear Friends of the Lotus,

Everyone looks for hope. They look for saviors too, but hope (we hope) springs eternal. There is an innate part of the human spirit that seeks to thrive and in that place we experience our humanity. In unprecedented times we are given the chance to gather our strength, clarify our commitments, find our true north. We have the opportunity to create balance in our lives by refining our relationship to truth and observing our nature through our daily actions and reactions. Finding the essence of what Yoga is and can be may be more important than ever as we work to heal rifts and attend a call for universal well being.

We wish you fortitude, clarity, and an inspired year. We hope to be able to serve you and celebrate the profound and simple pleasures of life with you in the year ahead.

Love and Blessings for the New Year,

Tracey and the White Lotus family
