I was one of Sanskrita's massage instructors when she attended ASIS. She was a pure and gentle soul who wanted a life outside of her cult upbringing. Sanskrita was poetic in how she described her experiences. Always optimistic, always gentle.

I'm forever grateful to get to know her, even a little bit.

I'm beyond sad.

I worked, as an "outsider", at the Global Consciousness Community Alliance in Tumacacori, AZ for just shy of a year, 2011.

I knew Sanskrita as a pre-teen and we remained friends and sharing women poets and philosopher-artists until her death. I am heartbroken.

Sanskrita lived with us at Camp Avalon for about six months last year. She left the day we left - (yes, after I was fired by the cult for not joining) she was in fear of the cult and especially her brother who was horribly abusive -

I asked her to come stay with us in Colorado and she said she was back on the road. Always headstrong always self reliant. She always loved my son and left us gifts. The last I heard from her was a few weeks before her passing. She had run out of options and again I asked her to come and stay with us in Colorado. I was so so sad when her sister called and told me the news it broke all of our hearts, but I know she’s in a better place now a place that those that abused her will never attain!
