2025 Switzerland retreat - Sakyong Lineage

Dear sangha sisters and brothers,

I am humbly asking for your support in helping me attend a Vajrayana retreat in Switzerland with our beloved teacher, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. This retreat is a rare and precious opportunity to deepen my practice under the direct guidance of the Sakyong, and to reconnect with the profound lineage teachings.

It is my heartfelt aspiration not only to receive teachings and practice with the sangha, but also to offer myself in service as part of the chöpon team — assisting with shrine care, ritual preparations, and sacred offerings. Participating in this way is both an honor and a deep practice, and I feel called to contribute with devotion and mindfulness.

The costs for travel, retreat tuition, and accommodations are beyond my current means, and so I am reaching out to the wider community for any support you can offer. Every contribution — no matter the size — will help bring me closer to this opportunity to serve and deepen my connection to the dharma.

If you're unable to give financially, your prayers and kind wishes are equally appreciated.

With gratitude and love in the dharma,

Lucie
