“Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.”
— Paramhansa Yogananda
Dear Friends,
We hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the beauty, revival, freshness and renewal that comes with the Spring! In Fort Collins, we’re having fun starting up the Community Garden under the wise guidance of Andrea, Dennis and Bailey. We’ve also been connecting through monthly kirtans and our first potluck gathering on the new land. We also had our first neighborhood meeting through the city recently and our Planning & Design Team confirms that all is going well. Garden parties, classes, kirtans, family camp and more are just around the corner; hope to see you soon at Polestar Village!
Blessings and warm wishes,
Your friends at Polestar

Thanks to everyone’s help, the garden is thriving beautifully! Join us for a fun day of connection with the land and with each other.

Come to the New Polestar Village Property : please pull through the gate at the very end of West Plum St. (off of Elizabeth and Kimball), turn left, and park against the eastern fence line.

Polestar’s Annual Family Camp: July 22nd-26th
This year’s gathering will again take place at Rocky Mountain National Park. Though our car-camping group site at Glacier Basin Campground is already sold out, you can still join us in the Rockies this summer! (In case of cancellations, you are welcome to sign up on the waiting list.)
The nearby YMCA Resort has availability in its lodges and there will be group planned events for both locations. There are also airbnb options in the town of Estes Park. Come to Fort Collins early if you can for several fun and uplifting events before we head to the mountains! Starting with a Tuesday group dinner on July 19th, we will have events over the next several days including kirtan, meditations, hikes, tours of the land, community meals, games & gatherings. Hope to see you this summer!

“Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? The need of the moment is not one religion, but mutual respect and tolerance of the devotees of the different religions. We want to reach, not the dead level, but unity in diversity. The soul of religions is one but it is encased in a multitude of forms.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
