FOSA BOARD MEETING - DECEMBER 2006

Friends of Sravasti Abbey (FOSA) board has decided that an annual meeting wasn't enough fun. So, early December, they came from far and wide to discuss supporting Sravasti Abbey. (Read the notes from the meeting >>>)

Laura York-Odell an "inviting generosity" consultant came to the abbey and facilitated a planning meeting with the Friends of Sravasti Abbey (FOSA) board. With her expertise, the board and the abbey community outlined plans to garner and expand support base for the building of Chenresig Hall.
There was a lot of creative brainstorming, laughter and lively discussion over the weekend as Laurel skillfully refocused and guided the meetings.
Alison, Laurel and Venerable share a moment of encouragement and support before Laurel departs for home to Boise, Idaho.
Barbara and Bill share a laugh as the group worked its way through discussing the challenges and joys of being a board member of a great vision.
After a weekend of much talking and thinking there is nothing better for clearing the head than the traditional hike up the meadow into the abbey’s beautiful forest. Venerable leads the board onto the Bodhisattva Path, one of the abbey’s favorite walking paths in more than one way!
Coming from all over the U.S., the FOSA board gets together for a final group shot before returning home. From left to right:
