Machik Kora

A virtual Machik Kora took place on Sunday, July 12, at 11:00 AM ET.

Machik hosted a Machik Kora gathering at a time of deep sorrow for Tibetans and friends around the world. Participants gathered to grieve, reflect, and consider difficult questions about the collective response to Tibet's long journey.
The conversation acknowledged the extraordinary courage Tibetans have shown over decades in the face of immense challenges. Participants reflected on the depth of commitment within the community to the future of the Tibetan people and explored how that commitment can continue through the ways people live, serve, and care for one another.
The discussion also considered how Tibet's future could be shaped by the sustained efforts, imagination, and commitment of Tibetans everywhere, rather than by waiting for others to determine it.

Machik Kora provides a space for mourning, compassionate listening, and reflection on continuing the work of building a stronger future for Tibet. Drawing on more than 25 years of Machik's work to strengthen the resilience of Tibetans and build bridges among communities across Tibet and the diaspora, the gathering reaffirmed the importance of community, service, and collective responsibility.
