The Pilcher family have been taking care of the tours for many years and they make us feel like part of the family. They invited us for a week of Tara. We did a Tara sand mandala at the Art Center. During the week Venerable Geshe Norbu gave a teaching on Tara and gave a Tara Empowerment. We also showed the film Dalai Lama Renaissance at the college and had a “dinner with the monks” night that turned out to be wonderful. The turnout in Grand Junction was very good and it seems like they are ready for a Dharma center of their own.

In addition to the teachings, we paid a visit to the adolescent correctional facility. We visited with the kids, did a cultural presentation, gave some advice and had lunch with them. The kids were really engaged and we all had a great time. We also had the pleasure of blessing three wonderful businesses – the Academy of Yoga (Monica and John also hosted our teachings at their center), Twice Upon a Time Bookshop, and Olsson Physical Therapy.

Here are some links to news articles about our visit:
