Dear Friends,
We are proud to share some of our favorite projects with you from 2024.
We want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on the activities of Pema and The Pema Chödrön Foundation. We also want to thank so many of you for your support!
We invite you to learn more about some of the special projects the Pema Chödrön Foundation supports and consider making a donation today. With your help, we can ensure that these programs are sponsored now and into the future.
In these troubling times on the planet, many of us are asking what we can do to spread love and compassion in order to mitigate fear and divisiveness. One very powerful step we can take is to help our fellow humans who are vulnerable and less fortunate than ourselves… |

The Book Initiative Program
The Pema Chödrön Foundation’s Book Initiative has been growing steadily for over a decade. What began as a mission to send books to incarcerated individuals has now expanded into a comprehensive program serving a wide range of needs.
We are continually amazed by the profound impact our Book Initiative program has on so many individuals and this incredible success would not be possible without the help of donors who know the value of Pema’s teachings. Learn more about one of our most prized programs. |

|
|
| Don’t forget that whenever you order Pema’s books and other products through our online bookstore, all of our proceeds go towards the Book Initiative program! |

More News…
Although Pema has retired from in-person, public teaching, she continues to offer online talks and courses. Much of Pema’s time is now spent in retreat, yet she still teaches at Gampo Abbey, her home monastery in Nova Scotia. She is currently in good spirits and health at the fine age of 88.
It is not too late to sign up for the Pema Chödrön LIVE course offered by Shambhala Publications, with access to live video calls, guided meditation sessions and weekly inspiration. Pema will be giving her second talk in this series on April 17th, and there is still time to register.
Don’t miss these amazing opportunities to hear Pema’s teachings in 2025! |
