Pema will be teaching again next year at Omega, May 18-20, 2018. Registration has opened here and fills up quickly!
Please request that you be placed on the cancellation list if there are no openings. Omega Institute does a great job of contacting people when space opens up. |

| Supporting at-risk communities |
| Pema is committed to helping at-risk populations and is eager to do as much as she can to support them. The Pema Chödrön Foundation has provided grants to Homeboy Industries, Prison Mindfulness Institute, iGrow Chicago and Surmang Foundation, to name a few. Please visit our website to learn more and consider making a contribution here. |

| It is Pema’s deepest wish that Buddhist nuns are able to receive the full training and education required to fully realize the wisdom of the tradition and to carry it into the future. It is vital that these nuns receive the same education and support as monks, and Pema is making this happen! Any donation that you could give to support Pema’s nuns projects would be appreciated tremendously. Read more about the nuns we support:
Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery

Sher Gompa
Good news! A second group of Nuns will be starting their intensive 3-year retreat at Sher Gompa high in the Annapurna mountains of Nepal. Thank you to all who have supported them! |

| The Book Initiative is continuing the grow! The PCF has sent thousands of Pema’s books at no cost to prisons, hospitals, counseling centers, homeless shelters, and individuals. Thanks to a grant from Donaldson Trust, and the support of many of you who believe in this project, our outreach has grown beyond our wildest dreams. Please consider supporting this wonderful program here. |
