“Brave View” refers to courageous compassion and wisdom that inspires us to cherish and provide for the well being of all creatures. Brave View website supports Braeview Hermitage: two cottages in the remote Shetland Islands of Scotland. Established by Geoff Jukes as a home base for Paula Chichester and as a retreat space for aspiring bodhisattvas to practice, rest, reflect, heal, study and reconnect with their inner truth, purpose and power. Friends come for a few weeks or a few months. Every visitor joyfully remarks how the accommodation and surrounding nature is just perfect, including Paula’s presence of a lifetime of immersion in Buddhadharma. The website also keeps up to date with Paula’s teaching schedule, recordings, her dharma songs, and advice from her teachers and other inspiring yogis– all in the interest to motivate and support sincere seekers of enlightenment and planetary sanity.
Please also take a look at the link to the Meridian Trust, a wonderful archive of thousands of hours of video of some of Tibet’s greatest masters, as well as contemporary teachers. https://meridian-trust.org/
