Natural Heroism - evening meal, poetry and dance

25th and 26th February

A weekend of teachings from the Gesar tradition, focusing on the subtle communication of our inner being with our surroundings and those within it. An evening meal, poetry and a day of formal dance will be ways in which individuals can experience this connectedness within a circle of awareness.

"Moving in and out each others experience is a practice of communication. Every connection will have an influence on us—whether we are aware of it or not—and this shapes what we are. Conversely, we influence everyone we encounter – even if we do not speak. Our feelings and thoughts are part of our communicative display and thus resonate with the entire situation. Dance is an expression of rolpa, the nondual pleasurable play of existence. In Dzogchen, rolpa is practiced in a non-symbolic manner – such as dining with awareness. When moving in an orchestrated group dance, one moves through space with others – and thus the whole group engages in the practice of awareness in the kyil’khor of connectedness. Practicing this resplendent sensory enjoyment of rolpa, becomes the nondual expression of vajra feast and celebration. In this way we become the seamless cooperative components of nondual space – where spontaneous creation is the nature of reality."
