The Wisdom of Compassion:
TW Nature Reserve Capitol Campaign
TSW is in crisis and needs to get the basics running for self-sustenance, mainly Solar BATTERIES and HOT WATER. There are other things it's important for people to know - we need everyones help to repair and renovate the VERY BASICS for this next season.
The Tsegylagar West, Los
Naranjos retreat center in Baja Ca Sur needs your support to complete repairs
and renovate its infrastructure from last year's damage from Hurricane Odile. We have made
progress with a new roof structure for the meeting hall, but still need
support to replace solar batteries, hot water heaters in casitas, etc. This
funding is very important to keep the beautiful and peaceful center maintained
for renting to groups, as that is an important source of income to maintain
it well.
Please
give to the Capitol Campaign and we will give back in a program to
acknowledgement of your gift! Please join us in collaboration by
donating.
Who We Are
The
Tsegyalgar West 'Los Naranjos" Buddhist retreat center is located in Baja California
Sur. It is a Nature Reserve of 3,000 acres of diverse landscape, both desert
and lush tropics. It has an intricate mysterious terrain and fresh springs, within
the majestic Sierra Laguna mountain range. It is located
north of San Jose del
Cabo in Baja Ca Sur, Mexico. We have been offering various programs to the
community
for over ten years.
There are 16 casitas to enjoy for
stays, which offer an extraordinary natural environment to immerse in, and to
relax and discover our relationship with natural well being. Pristine
wilderness areas are quickly becoming more rare and precious in our modern age.
It is our mission to preserve this land for the benefit of all. Please
come to visit!
 Eco-stays
can include meditation and contemplation practice, yoga and massage, hiking
and natural spring arroyos, permaculture and gardens, ongoing seminars and
programs available, as well as group retreats and eco-tourist interests.
