CONTINUING IN THE FALL 2010
ANANDA OPEN-AIR
Join us on selected Thursday evenings as we engage in a blissful practice of yoga at Silver Wheel Farm, in Harrisville, PA. Farmers Lori Sands and Ben Shaevitz have cleared out two special places for us to practice, each with its own beauty, charm, natural energy and chorus of birds. In addition to the obvious benefits of yoga in the open air, a market table offering the freshest of the farm's Certified Naturally Grown products will be open for us to shop! For more information on the Farm's Fresh Harvest CSA program, visit www.silverwheelfarm.net.

Directions and Parking:
Starting from the intersection of route 8 and route 58 in Harrisville (Sheetz and traffic light):
head east toward Eau Claire on Rt 58.
Go approx 4 1/2 miles, then, at the bottom of a twisty, sometimes slippery hill, turn left at Creek Bottom Rd. There is no street sign marking Creek Bottom. There is, however, a sign on the right just before the turn indicating that Creek Bottom is the next left. There is a large sign for Rocky Springs Presby Church at the entrance to Creek Bottom Rd.
Go along Creek Bottom for about a mile, traveling up a big hill. Near the top of the hill, take the first left-- Campground Rd. This one is marked, but it is hard to see. Look for a square, whitish sign that says "80" with an arrow pointing toward the left. As you turn left you will see the sign for Campground Road.
Stay on Campground Road for only a few hundred feet. Pass an abandoned house on the right, then turn right just past that house onto Porter Road, which is marked. The right turn looks more like a fork in the road, so just bear to the right and up a hill.
You will see the farm's fields to the left. Head down the hill, and parallel park on the left side of the road. Please feel free to park partially on the grass. You will see an opening for a drive path. My yoga sign will mark the place where we will meet to walk to our spot. Parking is also available further up the road, beyond our meeting spot. If you desire a longer walk, feel free to park closer to Ben and Lori's house which is up the road on the left.
