At Lotus Rising, we believe in the power of giving back. A portion of our proceeds doesn’t just go towards creating a space for healing and transformation for our retreat guests; it also supports incredible organizations that venture into disaster zones, provide resources for those with mental illnesses, champion mental health initiatives for minority communities like the Asian community, and work tirelessly to end sex trafficking. Your support not only helps us create impact but also enables us to serve those in need. Thank you for joining us on this journey of making a difference.
