Dear Friends of the Ripa International Sangha, 

We are happy to announce that registration for the Summer Retreat 2023 will now begin.

As you know, the Center is incredibly fortunate this year to welcome three teachers of the Ripa Lineage for the teachings and Drupchoes, which will be led by Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche, all in the precious presence of H.E. Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche. We are deeply grateful to H.E. Namkha Rinpoche for making this long journey once again this year to visit our 2023 Summer Retreat in Switzerland! 

The second news item this year is that we are offering a full-day program for children of the retreat participants in all languages. It will be colorful, inspiring, a bit wise and super fun! The leaders will conduct these workshops on a volunteer basis, dedicating a lot of heart and awareness – bravo and a heartfelt thank you!
The pricing is family friendly, we are  looking forward to the Ripa kids and teens with a fun, lively retreat!

On the subject of pricing, the retreat fees are unchanged or have gone down, and those of you who come for three weeks, now only pay for two. The rates for accommodation also remain the same..

Those of you who are unable to attend due to age, health or having a pet, may join us again this year via Zoom.

We are looking forward to sharing this enriching time of retreat with you. Let’s have a great summer!

With Love and Gratitude,
The RIC and Ripa Ladrang Foundation
