Riga

Somehow I seem to have fallen behind on writing the new!  Arrived in Riga over a week ago and started teaching Bodhicitta and now we have just finished a one week retreat at the seaside, on Green Tara.  I really felt the energy of Tara and the good energy of the group.  They requested another Tara retreat as soon as possible, so that's a good sign.  Thursday evening we continue with Bodhicitta and all weekend.  

Helsinki news

Finished the commentary on Medicine Buddha and on Tuesday we head off to retreat until Sunday. Unfortunately, Choeding Rinpoche of pokhara Nepal is very sick and I offered a long life puja to Rinpoche which has been accepted and will happen on the 19th August. If you want to make an offering towards it, please use Paypal or contact me.

Bern-Vienna

Hi, it has been a very productive time in Bern and Vienna, with Medicine Buddha and Reiki teachings.  We are thinking about organising a Medicine Buddha retreat next year in this area.  Next Helsinki and Medicine Buddha teachings plus a retreat on Healing Disturbing Emotions.  
Thanks go to Anastasia and Marianne in Bern and Andrea/Astrid in Vienna for their kindness and hard work.
