ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Join us for an experiential celebration of the enlightened arts of Tibet. We will explore the radiant mysteries of the heart, using the elemental energies of sound and light, as well as their magical displays: poetry, music, dance, and painting. We will learn about the "crazy wisdom" traditions of India and Tibet, and how they can open us to delight and amazement. Through guided practices, we will experience ways of moving beyond the bounds of the ordinary - and into open spontaneous experience.
