Richard John, Liz Richardson, Michael Nuschke , Rhonda Newcombe

Thanks to Rhonda Newcombe of Halifax for this wonderful story of auspicious connection in Mexico.

Hi Heather
I was unable to go to The Halifax Shambhala Centre today for the Werma Retreat. I practiced this morning and watched the [online Scorpion Seal recording with Richard John] in the afternoon. It was wonderful, very inspiring. Thank you.

A little story for you;
When my husband and I were in Mexico recently, we were visiting friends for a few days who live just outside of San Miguel. We stopped by the Shambhala Centre, but there wasn’t anyone around. We saw an ad in the local paper about Richard John giving teachings. We joked about how it would be fun to run into him. Later that afternoon, my husband Michael saw Richard and Liz across the street from us going in to a small store. He ran across and stood behind Richard who was looking at something on a shelf. Michael said,” Excuse me sir, may I help you?” As Richard turned, he was replying and stopped mid reply not expecting to see Michael at all! (We live not far from Richard and Liz in Halifax).

Michael and Richard were laughing as the rest of our group came in. Hugs and picture taking took place. I’ll also attach the picture. (Michael says, ” there was a large gap”, before the laughter and hugs. Ha!)

Wishing you the best,
Rhonda Newcombe
