Spirit Grooves

When KTD Monastery (Karma Triyana Dharmachakra) was being built, they did not have the ability to do mail order business. KTD members Michael & Margaret Erlewine, along with translator Ngodup Burkhar and calligrapher/ artist Sange Wangchuk and his wife Tseten built a complete dharma goods business run out of the Heart Center KTC dharma center in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was called KTD Dharma Goods, and it ran for many years until KTD was able to take it back in-house. Here is their original catalog.

Here are the covers of some of the our publication “Astro*Talk,” a periodical newsletter that reached out to something like 14,000 readers every so often as part of my company Matrix Astrological Software, a company still going strong today, although no longer under my direction. I thought some of you astrology buffs might like to wander through the past a bit. I am amazed that I published these in linen stock and in full-color and sent it through the mail. I know it that it cost a small fortune. Somewhere in the 1990s it became too expensive to do. Design credits to Michael Erlewine, Tom Erlewine, and Martin Machnowski
