From 2019 onwards, I have interpreted for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche during all fall seminars (except 2022 when I was in Brazil interpreting for Khamtak Rinpoche) and other teachings including summer seminars in Europe online. These have always been on a voluntary basis, although in recent years, interpreters have begun receiving donations from Shedrub Mandala. | ||

I have interpreted for Erik Pema Kunsang on multiple occasions, being his first interpreter into Portuguese and introducing him to the now-thriving Brazilian sangha. I volunteered as a backup interpreter during the annual Ngöndro retreat (2019-2020) and provided one month of volunteer interpretation work for the 17th Karmapa Orgyen Trinley Dorje during the Arya Kshema Spring teachings in 2022. | I have interpreted for Erik Pema Kunsang on multiple occasions, being his first interpreter into Portuguese and introducing him to the now-thriving Brazilian sangha.

Brazilian Sangha Organization (2019-present): I created and manage a WhatsApp group for Brazilian practitioners connected with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche (March 2019). There I started hosting monthly online group practice sessions of the Buddha Shakyamuni Sadhana of Mipham Rinpoche on the first Sunday of each month. After a break from 2022-2024, I received Rinpoche's full support and blessings to restart these practices. We also use the group to share information about teaching events within the tradition. | Brazilian Sangha Organization (2019-present): I created and manage a WhatsApp group for Brazilian practitioners connected with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche (March 2019).

Tara Triple Excellence Support (ongoing): I have unofficially supported Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's online meditation program through interpretation of live Q&A sessions into Portuguese, communication and marketing assistance. In 2018, I printed hundreds of program flyers at my own expense for distribution in Brazil. In 2024, I bought and brought products from Nepal to sell in Brazil for fundraising, which were handled by Paula Rozin (Portuguese program leader). These funds will be destined for marketing campaigns of TTE in Portuguese and a possible 2026 visit by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche to Brazil. | Tara Triple Excellence Support (ongoing): I have unofficially supported Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's online meditation program through interpretation of live Q&A sessions into Portuguese, communication and marketing assistance.
