2 months of silent retreat & intensive Tibetan Study

more details here — what’s below is a shorter version.

although the view may be controversial, I believe the best thing I personally can do right now to support myself, and you, and our world, is to continue to deepen my practice in this moment where I have the space to do so.

would you like to support me to continue to practice & study deeply this year, outside of the monastic context where I spent the last few years? your support means so much to me, especially as I continue to follow a rather countercultural path.

I believe it weaves the web of relationship stronger between us — I feel supported, and am indebted in the best way from receiving your generosity to really show up wholeheartedly for the path and pay it forward however I can. so in my view, the good multiplies far beyond the dollar amount.

all funds contributed will go towards dharmic activities (two month retreat & study of Tibetan) and dana (generosity to teachers), as well as paying forward 25% of whatever is raised to scholarship funds, organizing, and climate activism.

please only give if and what feels joyful to give, which I know will vary tremendously. seriously, no amount is too small.

unless I hear from you otherwise, as long as I can figure out who you are on PayPal/Venmo etc, I will thank you publicly & send you at least a couple updates. I’m happy to keep receiving financial support for the first half of 2023, and will post this again sometime after my first two month retreat, so if now isn’t a good time there will be another opportunity :)

THANK YOU!

P.S. If you want to give through check or cash another way please let me know.

P.P.S. I am not using a platform because I cringed at the fees and wanted to make this more personal. I am all about transparency and happy to share accounts / updates / anything you want to know.
