Gift from Patricia Gray to The Resilient Activist

For more than 30 years, thousands of Kansas Citians found inner peace and blissful joy through Patricia Gray's insightful meditation and yoga classes. We were calmed, relaxed, and drawn to more compassionate ways of living just from being in her presence and feeling the love from her engaging smile. Patricia's spirit passed on in February 2021.

This joyful and uplifting Rose Quartz statue was owned by Sami Aaron, founder of The Resilient Activist. Sami and Patricia were close friends and taught meditation and pranayama workshops together for many years. The statue was listed in Sami's will to leave to Patricia; however, when Patricia became ill first and was in the last few months of life, Sami gave her the statue to provide a little comfort and ease. Before Patricia passed, she requested that the statue be used to benefit The Resilient Activist, whose mission Patricia supported wholeheartedly. And so, this auction is for a statue that is not just beautiful, but that has heartfelt meaning imbued throughout its rose quartz shimmer.

The Resilient Activist is a public charity recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3). EIN: 82-4982519
