Dear Friends, Clients and Practitioners:

You are invited to attend our beloved Ron Diana's Memorial Service

We'll gather on Wednesday, September the 21st at 5PM at the Overlook Lodge, Bear Mountain NY where we will honor and celebrate Ron's life.

At 6:30 will go up to the watch tower, where Ron's ashes are scattered, and meditate during sunset surrounded by all the elements.

Fall Equinox is a time to harvest the essence and let go of the rest.

Following the ceremony, we will come back for dinner to share our fond memories of what Ron planted in us.

RSVP by September 9 to let me know if you are coming, will be staying for dinner, need accommodations, or transportation.

For those coming from afar there are accomodations at the Lodge. For those without a car or transportation to the Lodge, there will be a bus from NYC to and from the Lodge.

For those that can not make it please join us from wherever you are at sunset in the universal space of meditation where time and space do not exist.

If you are driving and coming from the south, I suggest driving through the Seven Lakes Drive (Ron's favorite drive), which is just off of Rt. 17 between Sloatsburg and Tuxedo, NY.

Love and Light
