|letterofmotivation=I've just completed the 2022-2025 3-year retreat at Thubten Choling.  It was such a profound and meaningful experience for me... life changing, really.  We learned so many practices in the retreat yet I feel I'm only scratching the surface and I'd like to continue to develop my practice with more retreat.  Lama Alan Wallace has been a big inspiration for me since the beginning of my journey and CCR's vision is one that resonates with me deeply.  Crestone has already been a home for me for years.  It seems like an auspicious time and space to continue my retreat practice.
