Dancing with Pure Presence: The Great Gathering 1 - 5 June 2022

For Dharmacharinis and Women+ who’ve asked for ordination. 

Come dance into awareness and wisdom -  with Vajradevi and the Taraloka team.

Let’s come together in large numbers to take uncontrived mindfulness through all experience!  When we’re mindful and present to what’s happening – both ‘internally’ and ‘externally’ – our responses become steady, wise, and confident. Whatever we’re doing, whether we’re meditating, working, communicating, or singing, becomes a vehicle to ‘grow’ awareness. Mindfulness becomes panoramic and we live with immediacy and creativity.  

Make the most of the Jubilee...
