Hi friends,

I would like to ask for your support to attend a pilgrimage and retreat in Nepal in March-April 2025 to receive teachings and practice with my teacher Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and to be with his family in the sacred land of Padmasambhava and other great practitioners.

Since returning from last year’s two-month pilgrimage/retreat, I have longed to return to the Dollu Valley for the opportunity to continue to go deeper into practice and connect with the lineage and the sacredness of our world and this precious human life.

I feel that this pilgrimage and deep retreat is an opportunity to strengthen my practice and deepen my connection to the precious teachings and skilled guidance that we have been receiving from Rinpoche.

It is an honor this year to again be part of the team which is supporting the efforts to make this journey possible for others. May the practice that we engage in together be of benefit to all sentient beings.

I would appreciate any support that you are able to offer towards the expenses incurred to cover travel, the retreat, and housing which will total around USD $8500. If you are inspired and able to support these efforts, I would be grateful for what you can offer.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated. May it be of benefit.

With humility and love,

Joan
