Greetings from Tibet House US & Menla,
We hope you and your families are all well and safe during the present crisis; we send our best wishes and prayers. We are all together in this, no matter how far we apart we may appear to be.
Like everyone else, we are not sure how long this crisis will last, however we remain committed to our supporters and will stay connected with you through expanded online offerings.
We hope you will take advantage of the numerous online teachings and courses that Tibet House US and Menla are providing at this time and will find them directly relevant to dealing with our current challenges.
For our part we have had to temporarily close both facilities, partially furlough our staff, implement major spending cutbacks, and postpone our spring programs to later dates.
We look forward to the end of this international disaster and intend to reemerge from it with the same determination — from our members, supporters, staff, board, and Tibetan colleagues — to enact our mission on behalf of the Tibetans and their heritage.
In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy this short video message from our President, Bob Thurman.
As always, thank you for all your assistance, participation, and feedback over all these many years of our shared advocacy for Tibet — your support is vital to our sustainability!
Sincerely,
All of us at Tibet House US & Menla
“The property is amazing. The creek running through it is one of the most amazing places to sit and listen that I have ever been to. I work in the forest industry and am constantly exposed to the wonders of the natural world, and I feel like this is one of the most profound natural spaces I have been to in my life.”

“Menla is indeed magical, a place out of time that is rich in presence. The vibrational quality of this sanctuary is palpable as well as the magnificent natural beauty. Healing, peaceful and luminous with Light, a pilgrimage to Menla evokes the proverbial Medicine Mountain, and yet it is so close to NYC. Our Ayurvedic massage and experience at Dewa Spa was transporting, regenerative and deeply nourishing. Looking forward to our next retreat here and sharing this treasure with friends.”

Honestly, two of the best massages I’ve ever had.
