Well yogis,
I would appreciate your help. I have been telling you about GUSH, my foray into the land of disposables. These are a huge problem for us, our councils, and the planet, and its something you can take a hand in and DEFINITELY make a BIG difference, in your home, your family your town and your planet. Not just dreaming about making a difference, actually doing it.
Help needed. I would like to conduct a workshop with my favourite people (you), just to see how you get on with making a pad, and doing the set of four asanas that actually make a 65% difference in recovery from prostate problems and surgery. What a fabulous investment is this!!!
I would like to do it in the studio of course, but if we were to do it on zoom, I would send you the preferred, simple pad pattern, you could gather up some recycled cotton and we could explore how easy or difficult this is for you. We could also include a run-through of the asanas.
The local council who introduced this problem to me has engaged me to do a workshop on the 2nd April in person at the Neighbourhood house – our Launch date – After that, I would like to visit schools. I used to be called “the squid lady” when I visited schools for the Natural History Museum, maybe I can be called the “Pad Lady” (or “Miss Gush!”).
Possible date – As I already have a group of students coming to Monday Zoom sessions at 6.30pm. Could you join us at this time on the 12th January? I doubt that I will have the book finished by then, but I could make available a pattern and you could try it or comment on it – I will need your email in order to send this pattern to you, and without the benefit of the how-to’s in the (unfinished) book, you will need me to talk you through it.

NAMASTE – JAHNE
Before we start, let me take this opportunity to thank all my students and readers for a fabulous year (really) and the possibility of a great New Year. I hope your karma is returning to you all the wonderful things you have done for others this year, with wonderful things done for you – especially if you were not expecting them…
Its go-go-go this Christmas – everyday my students have suprised me with lovely cakes and nibbles. Less cakes and nibbles would probably have been better for the waistband, but I tell myself it is only once a year.
