Registration Opens for Pema’s Weekend Programs at Omega Institute in 2015

Because Pema’s programs sell out at Omega, there are a lot of people who would like to attend, but haven’t been able to. This time, Omega is opening registration for two days before the general public for her two programs next year just for friends of the Pema Chödrön Foundation. Registration will open tomorrow, Monday, October 13. You can reserve your spot by calling 800-944-1001 or 845-266-4444. Phone hours are Mon.-Thurs. 9-5, Fri. 10-5, EDT.

Pema will be teaching twice at Omega in 2015: May 29-31 and October 2-4. Pema’s longtime teaching assistant and the president of the Pema Chodron Foundation, Tim Olmsted, will be assisting her for both programs.

If you want to learn more about Omega, its accommodations, and cancellation policy, please visit the Omega website at eomega.org – here. Hope to see you at Omega next year!

Father Rocky’s Safe Haven For Street Children

What is the link between a Catholic priest and at-risk youth in the Phillippines? Hope for the future. In 1997, Father Marciano “Rocky” G. Evangelista, known as Father Rocky, founded the Tuloy sa Don Bosco School. Since its inception, the Don Bosco School has functioned as a refuge for thousands of teenagers and street children who could otherwise have become absorbed into the prevailing system of youth seeking security through drug trafficking, networks of vigilante justice and other crimes. Through his school, Father Rocky provides students with more than just an education and shelter: he gives them practical training, exposure to artistic outlets, and career opportunities to truly transform the uncertainty in their lives into stability and hope. This article highlights the power of compassion and demonstrates how one person really can create a better world. { read more }

Be The Change

What issue or cause is near and dear to your own heart and how can you, as Father Rocky is doing, help transform it for the better?
