Help me Create a Refuge for Stressed New Yorkers to Recover
Donation protected
Katherine has been in New York for nearly a year now and she has noticed how the high adrenaline nature of this environment seems to nearly send even people living the most sober lifestyles a little mad. She has looked for places that offer a chill "low stem" space that provides a sense of peace simply to support the nervous system. Help certified yoga instructor Katherine Russ to create a special yoga and meditation space for new Yorkers to take time out from their hustle to regulate their nervous systems, meditate and enjoy their inner-space in an environment that has been constructed, sound-insulated, and engineered (through scientifically researched interior design) to maximize the peace and tranquility of anyone who enters it. The goal of yoga is aligned with the agenda of a bodhisattva. This is known as bodhichitta. Yoga is not just for stretching. It is for our peace of mind, therfore the meaning of yoga should be stretched even further than the imagination offered by the competitive noise of industry yoga.
Bodhichitta is a Sanskrit term that refers to the state of mind of a bodhisattva, a person who aims to achieve enlightenment and save others from suffering.
Also, in the mean time, please check out the other more urgent gofundme created by Kat. URGENT: Help Katherine get a root canal. Help Katherine avoid a fatal medical complication. Her health is in danger and she is struggling to make ends meet on her own, as she has chosen to take a break from being in relationships as she heals from the traumas of being abused by men who concealed the fact that they suffer from their own mental illnesses and had trouble controlling their anger. She has chosen to avoid having a relationship where she relies upon a man to take care of her and has been working hard all on her own to build her savings so she can make her next big move in life.
