Year of the Earth Ox
With the beginning of the Shambhala New Year, we are once again launching our annual fundraising campaign. As part of the campaign, we are offering several amazing premiums. Sky Lake is home to many brilliant and creative people, and two of them have generously donated works to the campaign.
Barbara Bash is calligrapher and illustrator who has collaborated with buddhist poets, dancers and musicians at Naropa University and the Shambhala Institute for Authentic Leadership. Her most recent book is True Nature: An Illustrated Journal of Four Seasons in Solitude published by Shambhala. Her calligraphic interpretation of Patricia Donegan's haiku (below) hangs on the main floor at Sky Lake. Patricia Donegan is an internationally known haiku poet. She taught at Naropa University for many years and then lived in Japan on a Fulbright Scholarship, teaching at Tokyo University. She is the poetry editor of Kyoto Journal. Her most recent book is Haiku Mind published by Shambhala.
