It is with regret that Serenity Ridge Retreat Center has postponed reopening its in-person retreats with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche until spring 2022.
Originally, the Winter Retreat on the Experiential Transmission of Zhang Zhung, Part 2, was planned to be both in person (for a limited number of 50 participants, with social distancing) and online via Zoom. But due to uncertainty caused by the pandemic and the latest news of the new variant, it has been decided to hold the Winter Retreat only online.
Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s live teaching schedule for 2022 is still being finalized, and more dates will be posted after the first of the year. Rinpoche’s live retreats include dates for Poland, Mexico, Chamma Ling Colorado and four 2022 seasonal retreats at Serenity Ridge.
In the Bon tradition, spiritual stories are a traditional form of teaching. They inspire devotees and practitioners to develop and strengthen their faith in dharma teaching. Join Lishu Institute teachers Geshe Sherap Lodoe and Dr. Sangmo Yangri in December and January on Zoom for their second season of stories from the Bon tradition.
Ligmincha Learning is pleased to offer a range of video-based online courses beginning in January 2022. Most of the recorded courses are taught by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and guided by senior teachers.
Here’s what is coming up in 2022:
Serenity Ridge is finally reopening after nearly two years away! But reopening isn’t a matter of simply turning the lights on—it’s a different world after Covid-19 and we must ensure that all our friends and sangha members remain safe and secure.
With that in mind, a generous donor pledged up to $15,000 to help with our reopening costs through a dollar-for-dollar matching grant. At this important time, your dollars can make all the difference. Every $1 you give results in $2 to pay for important building and safety improvements.
Attic too full? Garage stuffed? Don’t know what to do with that old computer? Free up some space in your house (or garage or tool shed) while also helping out Serenity Ridge Retreat Center!
We are always on the lookout for quality furniture, garden and home tools, and much more
Several 3 Doors in-person retreats previously scheduled at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center this fall have been canceled due to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. The new 6th North American Academy, however, will begin online via Zoom October 7–12, 2021.
At this point, Serenity Ridge is expected to open in December for Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s winter retreat.
Funds are needed to help reopen Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, which has been closed to the public during the pandemic. Serenity Ridge hopes to reopen in December for the winter retreat. The following fundraising letter was sent recently to Ligmincha sangha members and friends.
What if you were told you had one year to live? How would that change your perspective on life, on yourself, on your priorities?
