ode to my spiritual teachers...

this is the first book i've made in a long time! after singing one morning with my new chanting sangha, i got inspired by Judith's (aka Moon) altar which had tons of photos spilling off of it of all of her teachers and people who inspire her spiritually... i decided that i had to make a small book in the shape of an altar and dedicate it to some of the people i've taken meditation and chanting workshops with as well as my yoga/drawing teachers and various deities that i love...

it had to be small and could open to one or two pages so i could focus on each spread and have room for more (the back is empty)... and portable!

a close up of krishna das and ram das
i am learning to sing the "hanuman chalisa" an over 40 verse sanskrit
chant that is one of my favorites. it's so challenging, but makes me feel so at peace when i practice...

this is amarjyothi, she was my first yoga teacher ever...
and still to this day, an inspiration to me

this is pema rinzin, my tangka painting teacher... you rock pema!
