A Pivotal Moment

As Yuan Tze steps back from global touring to focus on new educational initiatives, we arrive at a meaningful threshold for REN XUE of the Americas.

Gratitude & Giving is an invitation to pause, celebrate our growing community, and step into this next chapter together with Yuan Tze. This gathering honors those who have supported REN XUE of the Americas and welcomes all who feel called to be part of this moment—whether you are a longtime supporter or newly discovering these teachings.

There are three ways to participate, wherever you are:

In-person gathering with Yuan Tze (Feb. 22) - An evening to be together in gratitude, reflection, and connection.
Register here to attend in-person.
Online auction (Feb 17-22)- Featuring meaningful offerings, including a one-of-a-kind hand-lettered scroll by Yuan Tze. The auction starts on February 17. Visit the auction
Special-edition Gratitude apparel - Featuring Yuan Tze’s calligraphy as an expression of appreciation and a reminder to embody this essential heart quality.

Together, we are creating pathways for more people to reconnect with inner wisdom, grow in community, and contribute to humanity’s brighter future.
