In the middle of a very intense year, I have the heartfelt aspiration to attend the in-person retreats with the Sakyong. Last year, I lost my youngest brother at Thanksgiving. Our family has been dealing with the repercussions of his passing since then, which has taken a lot of my time and energy. This has meant I haven't been able to put energy into my business relocating honey bee colonies in North Carolina and other livelihood endeavors.

I'm reaching out for financial support to be able to continue my spiritual path and immerse myself in the deep care and love of the lineage and the community, most especially as I navigate my way through this time of unimaginable grief and the journey of healing my very raw and broken heart.
