| Pema recently completed her annual 100-day retreat, and will soon head to Gampo Abbey for Yarne, or winter teachings.
Pema will be teaching again next year at Omega, May 17-19, 2019, on The Six Paramitas. This program has already filled, but you can request to be put on the waiting list here. Omega Institute does a great job of contacting people when space opens up.
The program will also be offered as a live-stream, and registration details will be available on our website and social media as they become available. |

| It is Pema’s deepest wish that Buddhist nuns are able to receive the full training and education needed to fully realize the wisdom of the tradition and to carry it into the future. It’s vital that these nuns receive the same education and support as their male counterparts do. With your help, The Pema Chödrön Foundation is making this wish a reality. Please help support the nuns projects we sponsor. A donation of any amount would be appreciated tremendously. Read more about the nuns we support:
Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery
Karma Drubdey Nunnery in Bhutan
Monastic College of Surmang Dutsi Til
Sher Gompa
Tibetan Nuns Project
Update! A second group of Nuns has entered their intensive 3-year retreat at Sher Gompa high in the Annapurna mountains of Nepal.Our deepest gratitude to all who have supported them! |
