We wish to thank so many people who made contributions to Windhorse this past year – all those who offered generous financial support and/or their time and energies to help keep this Dharma work going. We also very much appreciate all the kind letters we’ve received about all that goes on here.
Building Progress, Winter 2010
In terms of the Building Fund, we’ve received over $40,000 from the Phil ‘Koso’ Gable Legacy Fund (and are hoping other pledges that were made last year will soon be honored). We’re especially pleased to let everyone know we’ve reached our $25,000 Matching Fund goal! This means we now have another $50,000 available for construction. A number of other very generous donations have also come in — funds not earmarked for construction that will help us to keep the rest of Windhorse running as well.
As you can see from the photograph, we’ve accomplished quite a lot. Some unresolved challenges in the building process remain, but if we can ‘keep the wind to our back,’ we should be able to finish the project this year. With this beautiful and much needed facility we will be able to offer different sorts of workshops and other programs that have been put on hold due to space limitations. And of course the beautiful new building will provide a great place for sesshin participants and those in residential training.
With much gratitude to all,
Lawson and Sunya, for Windhorse
