| Worldwide ‘Practicing Peace’ birthday retreat
with Pema Chödrön
Saturday, July 14, 2012
Pema Is In Retreat for all of 2012. She’s invited you to join her on a special day.
Pema’s 76th birthday is on July 14. To honor the occasion, we’re holding a world wide ‘Practicing Peace virtual retreat’. She’s invited all of you to take half of that day (or longer) as a retreat. You could do this alone at home, or gather with friends, to share in this experience. To have her friends and students from around the globe ‘practicing peace’ on her birthday will be a wonderful offering to Pema.
This is the first time in all the decades that Pema’s been teaching that she’s asked her friends and students to gather together. Pema has made a video of a teaching just for this occasion, offering advice, encouragement, and meditation instruction.
There’s no cost to do this, but any donations made to the Pema Chödrön Foundation for this retreat will support a very special project that Pema is dedicated to, the building of a three-year retreat center (Pema Chödrön Drupde) in Nepal, for a remarkable, and threatened, lineage of nuns from Tibet. There’s more information about this wonderful project – here
Please everyone to register for the retreat, so we can let Pema know who is practicing and where they’re from around the world. We’ll send you the link to the teaching on July 1. You’ll be able to watch this whenever you want, and as often as you want.
If you won’t be taking part in the retreat, but would like to support the building of Pema Chodron Drupde, click here here. This is a wonderful event honoring a remarkable person. We appreciate your participation in making this a most memorable birthday for Pema.
