Dear Fellow Student,

In 2007 the American Meditation Institute will complete its 11th year of service.  Since 1996, AMI has served over 1,800 students -- teaching practical skills to enhance personal, professional and spiritual growth.

2006 was a very full year.  In addition to sponsoring our annual Guru Purnima celebration, hosting weekend retreats, several noted speakers and our "Dinner and Movie" series, AMI has continued to offer workshops and weekly courses on meditation, easy-gentle yoga, the chakras, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Yoga Sutras.  This past year Leonard's new book, The Heart and Science of Yoga received four major national book awards.  In addition, Leonard presented informative workshops on the health benefits of yoga science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Commonwealth Club of California and the Fordham University Healing Circle in New York City.  His courses were endorsed by the New York State Nurses Association. 

Clearly, Leonard and Jenness's vision of building an American spiritual community based on the science of Yoga has become a reality.  Now, it is our turn to assure that this sacred teaching continues to grow.

We are asking that you give your financial support by becoming an active member of our AMI family.   Whatever membership level is comfortable for you will help immensely.  If you are in a position to make a contribution beyond the basic membership rate, many people will benefit.  But no amount is too small.

If you feel you have personally benefited by reading the Transformation journal or by attending any of our classes or events, we humbly ask for your support now -- to keep the teaching of practical Yoga Science alive.

We hope to hear from you soon.

With love and respect,

Melanie Uma Gloeckner, Mary Holloway, Doreen Howe and Lynn Gretschel
Membership Committee for the American Meditation Institute
In service--with love,
