On April 17th, BPMI co-founder Verdell Jessup will be giving a photo presentation of her two years in Bhutan, entitled "An Evening in Bhutan: Tales from the Buddhist Kingdom". We invite everyone to experience Verdell's unique perspective on Bhutan as she lifts the veil into a world rarely seen by Westerners.
BPMI co-founder Rob Grace will be introducing the Bhutan Preventative Medicine Initiative to the public, outlining its mandates, goals, and current ongoings.
There is to be a Silent Auction between 7 and 8pm.
Featured items include fabrics, dress, prints and art from Verdell's travels in Bhutan. Expedition Member Zach Gold, who was recently featured on Kanye West's blog, has graciously donated items from his personal collection in Brooklyn, NY. BPMI Board Member Bradford Keeney, who is known best for his work exploring the spiritual traditions of the Kalahari Bushmen, has also donated for the event.
The event is to be held at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson, British Columbia. Doors open at 7pm.
Tickets are $17 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets are available at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences Herbal Dispensary and at the Summit Gym Acupuncture and Mobility Clinic. Please note: seating is limited.
All monies raised by this event go directly to the BPMI, a registered non-profit society based in Nelson, BC.
