In December Dharmalaya hosted its first Holiday Party Benefit since the pandemic began. The event, created by the Ananda Seva Eugene community, was able to raise $1,000 for ArtCity a local nonprofit dedicated to creating quantum change through art.
Pictured above is a impromptu collective singing of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that broke out in the middle of the raffle prizes being handed out.
Many people volunteered their time and effort and resources to make the event a success. Special recognition goes to Sharanya for organizing all the food and to Shanti who worked with her all evening in the kitchen! The musicians all created a very special atmosphere as well! Gratitude to Gayatri, Rob, Anandam, Jayanti, Dacé and Etienne (our youngest musician). Much appreciation to Melissa, who was responsible for the children's crafts and Kaverii, Samudra, Vasumati, Charly, Ammadevi, Clare, Ravi and Madhuliika all helped to prepare the site. It was a real team effort and a good time was had by all!
