Pema's 'Practicing Peace' birthday retreat 

Dear Friends,

As you may know, Pema is in retreat for all of 2012. When asked how her friends and students could share in her retreat, she suggested that people could practice, with others or alone, on her birthday, Saturday, July 14.

Pema has made a video of a teaching just for this occasion, offering advice, encouragement, and meditation instruction. All you need to do it register and we will email you the link to the video on July 1st. (you'll be able to listen to this whenever you want, and as often as you want) 

This retreat and the teachings from Pema are free. If you are able and inspired, please consider making an offering to Pema’s new initiative, the Nepal Nuns project, and the building of Pema Chödrön Drupde, a new three-year retreat center. There’s more information about this project and some photos here  – here.

Please register soon. Pema is excited about offering this first ever virtual retreat and she has asked that we let her know who will be taking part in this retreat, and where you are from. Register Below.

Here’s a link to some of Pema’s best articles to inspire you before the retreat – here.

"Please enjoy this day of practicing peace together. This is a wonderful way to enrich our lives, and extend our hearts into the world. Thank you for making this a wonderful birthday." - Pema
