Pink House second anniversary

After restoring the roof (Typhoon Rai blew whole sections of it miles away) we will use the rest of the funds raised to start building the first Children’s Book Library on the island of Bohol. This public library is to be located next to the koi meditation pond within the Pink House  complex. 

We see each of your contributions as true blessings sent to us most often from thousands of miles away!

Dear friends of Pink House,

 

We have survived Typhoon Rai but Pink House is damaged. We have lost whole parts of our roof.

 

Our plan for 2022 is to build the first free Children’s Book Library on the island of Bohol in the Philippines. We also ask for help repairing the damages to Pink House caused by the recent super-typhoon. 

What will the funds be used for?

 

We will first repair the roof and other damages and with the funds left over, we will start building the first free and public Children’s Book Library.

 

How soon are the funds needed and when & how will they be spent?

 

The funds are needed as soon as possible and will be used next week and in the first quarter of 2022.

 

We never ‘contract out’ work. All work is performed by family members who are paid living wages and live with us, eat with us, and relax & laugh with us at the end of each long working day.

Our gratitude for your support

 

We are happy for you to participate in our Pink House dream in absolutely any way you can. We would truly be very grateful for your support!

 

As always, there is no dollar minimum and we have absolutely no dollar goal in mind!

 

Instead, this campaign is conducted in the spirit of creating a Pink House ‘intentional community’ inclusive of everyone near and far, of everyone regardless of race, gender, or national origin.

 

In this spirit all donations, however small or large, are gratefully accepted as blessings!

What is Pink House?

 

Pink House is an experiment in integration; an experiment in creating interrelationships between the dense and the subtle. Commerce, the most material and hence the densest of human activities, relates in the ancient Indian yogic tradition of my ancestors with red, the first chakra or energy point. Red is energy, pure and undiluted. It is the material building block of a society.

 

We see Pink Store as the spiritual incarnation of commerce—truly a community convenience store, with everything from rice to milk, pencils to razor blades, and of course, our bestseller—ice cream! Being the only vendor of ice cream in the neighborhood means that we are visited at all hours of the day by happy families with laughing children, and sell out as soon as we replenish our stock.

 

While Pink Store relates to the lowest, densest chakras, or energy points, in the ancient yogic traditions, the public koi meditation pond and our future yoga & meditation center (as well as guest-house) at Pink House relates to the highest, most subtle chakras: silver, purple, pink, and violet, that in the yogic tradition correspond to the highest states of consciousness. Yoga & meditation, in my background and tradition, are the oldest forms of relationship-builders in the realm of the subtle. They are my offering of love to the world.

 

By combining an affordable community convenience store and a yoga & meditation center under one roof, Pink House is an experiment in integration; an experiment in creating interrelationships between the dense and the subtle leading to shanti, or peace, one loving-healing relationship at a time.

 

Our dream of building the first Children’s Book Library on the island is an expression of our faith in children as the hope for tomorrow. A child seamlessly, effortlessly, and joyfully bridges the dense and the subtle. Every child deserves access to a library!
