On the weekend of October 12-14 two simultaneous retreats were held at Ananda Viplava in Cairo, NY. Young margiis gathered for the Yoga Justice retreat, while some of the older social activists gathered for the third Prout Planning seminar. Prout is the acronym for the Progressive Utilization Theory, and both retreats focused on how yogis and spiritual aspirants can bring new dynamism to the struggle to build a just and sustainable social order. Some of the programs of the two retreats were joined by the young and the old and everyone gathered for a group photo at the end of the retreat.
