Notice for Event:  Khenpo Karten Rinpoche will offer a Water Blessing Ceremony on the occasion of the Winter Solstice, Thursday December 21, 2017, from 4:00pm to 5:00pm at Lovers Point beach in Pacific Grove. The blessing will honor all the earth’s elements as Rinpoche will chant to pray for their protection.

The event is free to all. Participants are encouraged to bring flower petals to contribute to this beautiful and moving ceremony.  We hope you can make it!
