Lotus Bend Sanctuary wishes to establish long term affiliations and partnerships that support the mind-body-spirit connection, as well as your business or organization. Perhaps you’d like to teach weekly yoga classes, host a monthly meditation, teach students about sustainable gardening, or support your employees with regular team-building activities. These long term relationships are intended to align our common interests and goals while creating a financially sustainable foundation for teachers, facilitators, and the Center itself. If establishing such an affiliation or partnership is of interest to you, email Alfonso Carlon at alfonso.carlon@sbcglobal.net.
