Sangha of Auspicious Companions

On behalf of Pema and The Pema Chödrön Foundation, we send our very best wishes for your health and wellbeing during these challenging times. We hope that you, and all of your loved ones, are able to take good care of yourselves and remain safe as we navigate so many unknowns together.

In honor of Pema’s birthday, the Pema Chödrön Foundation invites you to donate to a project very dear to Pema’s heart, Homeboy Industries. For over 30 years, Homeboy Industries has proudly and compassionately stood with and served the most marginalized among us. Homeboy is firmly rooted in the belief that hope, training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women provides the foundational healing necessary for sustained change. Through their innovative 18-month program model, participants receive services such as Tattoo Removal, Mental Health Services, GED preparation, and job training – all with the singular goal of healing the cycle of violence and restoring lives.

Please read more about Homeboy Industries and consider making a donation – here.

“Perhaps never before has so much of our lives changed so dramatically and so quickly. It seems everything has been upended, leaving us no solid ground beneath our feet. Ancient Buddhist wisdom can help us get to the heart of our ensuing stress, anger, grief, and fear. And when taught by a contemporary master, it’s just what the world needs today.” ~Omega Institute

The virtual weekend includes talks and question and answer sessions with Pema. Tim Olmsted will guide us in meditation practices that assist us in applying the weekend teachings to our everyday lives.

For more information and registration details visit Omega Institute here. Early bird pricing is available through 8/8/20!
