Director: Victress Hitchcock

The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet practice a yogic traditions initiated by the first Tsoknyi Rinpoche in the 1800s. All their nunneries were destroyed during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, but a handful of survivors persisted and have rebuilt some of their sanctuaries by hand.

Their tradition is once again thriving. The film documents a visit to Tibet by the current Tsoknyi Rinpoche along with a group of Western women students, and features him, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, and Tsultrim Allione, plus rare footage of Sherab Zangmo, a nun who went into hiding, stayed in retreat for 20 years and emerged after conditions improved to teach and inspire until her death.
