June 16 - June 29 2009

This auspiscious journey is for those interested in exploring the mysteries, places, and untold dance of Tibetan Buddhism's Dakinis. 

We will be en route through the highest roads in the world as we ascend the Himalaya into the realm of the Dakinis. This is a rare opportunity that will bring us into the heart of the Tibetan community and their daily lives. Additionally, we will be deepening our exploration of the Sacred Feminine, related dance, and practices to cultivate greater health and awakening. The workshop will be taught in the surrounding village as well as the sacred historical sites we visit.

The intention of this journey is to provide a direct experience with the lineage of the Dakinis, through both the monastic as well as cultural context while we naturally act as respectful ambassadors from the West.
