Rigpé Yeshé – We encourage parents to bring along their children to also benefit from the teachings and the atmosphere at the retreat. In order to make it easier for parents to participate fully we run a children’s programme – please go to Rigpé Yeshé page for more information. The costs are per child and per programme.

Note 1: if you are registering multiple children and some of your children will not be participating in the Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and/or Adventure Care Program then for the purpose of calculating your fees, you should count the child who is participating in both programs as your '1st child'.

For example: if you have two children but only one will be attending both the Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and Adventure Care Program while the other child will only be attending Rigpé Yeshé Retreat then your first child is the child attending both Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and Adventure Care Program. So if you are paying the full rate your fees will be $225 + $75 (early bird) for your first child and $65 (early bird) for your second child, or a total of $365.00.

Note 2: Rigpé Yeshé strives to include all those who wish to come to retreat: if you would love to come but are finding it difficult to pay the fees, please contact Tip Kennedy as soon as possible at tip.tom@bigpond.com to discuss possible options.
