This week we are shooting how to videos with Geshe Gyatso. How to open and close a shrine, the meaning and use of a mala. What do the eight auspicious symbols represent. It’s quite a lot of work, but we are having a lot of fun!

Serenity Ridge held an open house yesterday. Geshe Gyatso gave a great dharma talk and guided meditation and then gave a tour of the company and the Garuda shrine room. Tea, coffee and cookies were enjoyed before and after on a cold, cold day!

We were so happy to meet new friends and reconnect to old ones. 40 people came out and we couldn’t be happier!

On Friday night, our dear friend Pumkin, a long time Serenity Ridge tennant, sangha member and friend, passed away from old age. He's been sick on and off this year, and this past week it became clear that it was his time.

Deep gratitude to Sarah for her shepherding him through this time and process. He will be missed by us all, but most of all by Chi Chi, I think.
