In 2018 SRI collaborated with 3 other nonprofit organizations in magical Taos, NM. We gathered at KTAO Solar Radio to experience exceptional offerings for the whole family. There were local vendors of art and fare, educators on sustainability and yoga. We shared connections with so many folks, friends, family, tourists, locals, each of whom came to the event to indulge their desire for metaphysical discovery.
TYF was an instrument of our sustainable research model called "The Butterfly Project." We created this event to attract tourism, encourage community involvement, and cultivate creativity within the popular mind. Each participant had an opportunity to contribute data to our research program, donate money or goods to the charity of their choice, and take advantage of the wealth of yoga genius that resides at the feet of the sacred Taos Mountain.
