Coming in August in Vajra Dakini Virtual Sangha

Many people have found a deep wealth of meditation exploration in the yogas in the Shravasti curriculum. We invite you to keep exploring this investigation of mindfulness of body in the Vajrayana tradition. During the Sundays in August at 9am Carol Bailey will offer somatic meditation exercises from the lineage of Khenpo Munsel, HE Garchen Rinpoche's root guru. In addition to having completed a 3 year retreat at the Garchen Institute, Carol is a life long practitioner of multiple somatic healing traditions.

At 10 we will continue with our Sunday Dharma Class with Khenmo. We continue to delve into the Seven Points of Mind Training or Lojong from 10- 11. You are welcome to participate in one or both classes.
