During my time in the Ithaca area, 1995-2006, I was immensely blessed by meeting Jalaja and having the opportunities to participate in her circle gatherings. Every time was a beautiful, meaningful time of connection, blessings, healing, enlightenment and joy. They were very special times for me and in remembering, I am filled with gratitude. The Ithaca area is very fortunate to have Jalaja and the light she shares.
