Massage for Peace
Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone in the world received massage? We have asked ourselves this question many times. For us, the answer is always the same. Peace. There is no doubt in our minds that the effects of massage would very well produce a more peaceful world.

We've decided to put our hopes into action and are very excited to announce our Massage for Peace campaign. BCMT has partnered with Tees For Change to produce custom designed eco-friendly t-shirts. The shirts will be available for sale in the BCMT bookstore next month. They will also be for sale through Tees For Change at the Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park this fall. Mens and womens sizes will be available for $30 each. Proceeds of every sale will go to BCMT's internship/community service program and the Global Mala Project. We thank you for your support in helping us spread the healing effects of massage.

New and Improved 'Find A BCMT Therapist'
As announced in the last issue of Green Chi we have launched our updated 'Find a BCMT Therapist'. Our intention is that this program will be user friendly for our alumni, site visitors and staff as well as provide a consistent, clean look throughout.

Editorial by Maria August: Update on the situation in Tibet
 Bhod rangzen! Free Tibet! What does it mean? For years I let those two words pass by me. Just like anyone living in Boulder, I saw the bumper stickers and the tee shirts. I never thought of a place called Tibet. I never thought about their freedom or lack of it. The words touched my eyes, but they never touched my heart. It wasn’t until visiting Dharamsala, India where I met and lived among Tibetans in exile that I began to understand. Free Tibet. Yes. And why hadn’t it happened already? Because, just like me, the whole world has been ignoring the signs. We follow the news and the latest headlines, the current “tragedy du jour”, but the Tibetan struggle has overstayed its welcome. Fifty years of invasion, oppression, genocide, torture, pillage, famine, and human rights abuses. It doesn’t stay news. It just becomes “the way things are”.

Forward To A Friend



From the Desk of Carol Brunelli
During discussions about reviving the alumni newsletter, it was decided that a new name should be given to the newsletter. Word went out for suggestions. Many were submitted. Carol’s was selected: Green Chi. Descriptive, inventive and original, yet, at the same time, most fitting! That too, describes Carol Brunelli.

Carol truly enjoys working at BCMT. She feels that this is a very auspicious time for the college and the beginning of a new era. In her capacity as Director of Enrollment and Services, Carol enjoys working with a team that includes the Admissions Department (Jack, Jessica, Becky and Sherry) and the Enrollment team (Judy and Kira).
