Greetings All,

With great sadness and great joy, we want you to know that Ysha Oakes, the founder of Sacred Window School, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 25, 2015 at around 1:30 p.m. MST. She had been ill for several months, and her decline was rapid. During her last days she was in the loving presence of her children and her friend Nomi Gallo and husband, who both offered many hours of vedic ritual chants for her end of life passage. Countless people around the world were also watching over her and present with her in their own hearts and prayers, as can be seen by the many touching comments on Caring Bridge, FaceBook and emails.

Ysha was an amazing visionary and a force of such undivided commitment and gentle loving strength, that I think she will be fondly remembered for many years to come, and that she will continue to inspire everyone who touches her intention and teachings. May she have a beautiful and conscious journey onward.

Don’t be surprised if you feel Ysha’s loving presence touch you at times. I’m sure she’ll be watching over us.  And thank you for your abiding interest in Sacred Window.

Suzanne Ropiequet
