The mission of the Yogini Foundation - Project is to empower, support, and improve living conditions, health, well-being, and foster self-reliance of Bhutanese women, girls, and nuns who reside in nunneries.
Through your support, we can contribute to the cultural preservation, social uplift, and sustainable living of Bhutan’s nuns, women, and girls as active agents of social change. Our commitment arises as witness to not only the deplorable conditions of life in the nunneries, but also in recognition of the spiritual nourishment and education that a (GNH) Gross National Happiness society requires as Bhutan experiences material growth.
What is (GNH) Gross National Happiness?
In a rapidly changing modern society, the role of nunneries in tempering and reigning in the acceleration of material growth and development with compassion and basic human values must be elevated. Female agency supports a virtuous cycle of sustainable living practices, social and cultural uplift; and empowers women to participate and thrive in the socio-economic development of Bhutan. If not, the Bhutanese people as any other people, could be converted to consumerism and the never-ending, vicious cycle of greed.
Under the patronage and initiative of Luna (cristine de la Luna), yogini, Vajrayana Buddhist dharma practitioner of 30 years, and founder of Inspired Living Essentials, Inc. (2001), Samten Wangchuk, Board of Directors, and founder of Select Bhutan Travel, helped actualize the Yogini Foundation as an organization to guide and implement its plans and projects to support Bhutan's society in its full realization of Gross National Happiness (GNH) .
Your donations will help empower and sustain women and girls to thrive in Bhutan for years to come.
