	I have all the way along studied both the Shambhala as well as the Buddhist path. On the Shambhala side I have had many teachers (and they were all Buddhists:). On the Buddhist side My main teachers are Mipham Rinpoche, Thrangu Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. These three jewels continue to guide me as they are always with me. Mipham R. has repeatedly blessed me with an understanding of all aspects of the path, Thrangu Rinpoche awakened Bodhicitta with the Bodhisattva vows and was my guide through a 3YR, KTGR Integrated my understanding through logic and song and dance.

	I actually do not need much. As this retreat is not at a 'centre' there is not a lot of overhead. I am 'offering' $200CDN per month for the shared expenses. The main costs are building the shelter to stay in and food. My partner and I have from our savings paid for the shelter costs. Food I expect will be ??CDN per month approximately.
