Worldwide 'Practicing Peace' birthday retreat with Pema Chödrön:
Pema's 76th birthday is tomorrow, July 14th. To honor the occasion, Pema is holding a world wide 'Practicing Peace virtual retreat'. She's invited all of you come together and to share in this experience. To have her friends and students from around the globe 'practicing peace' on her birthday will be a wonderful offering to Pema.
This is the first time in all the decades that Pema's been teaching that she's asked her friends and students to gather together.
A portion of your normal class donations will donated to the Pema Chödrön Foundation in support of a very special project that Pema is dedicated to, the building of a three-year retreat center in Nepal, for a remarkable, and threatened, lineage of nuns from Tibet. There's more information about this wonderful project at
