The course took place on 31 Oct – 2 Nov 2025, the weekend preceding Melbourne Cup day holiday. The venue was the Melbourne Unitarian church, which generously allowed us access to the hall on a donation basis. Five older students and eight new dancers showed up. As the course proceeded, a sweet, soft, warm environment of harmony developed, as one would expect when people are sharing the Mandala together to practice precious teachings sincerely.
From October 13th to 19th, 2025, the IT teams of Merigar West and Dzamling Gar gathered at Dzamling Gar for a week of collaboration and technical work, joined by our Austrian sound engineer, Philip Zauner.
From October 31 to November 2, 2025, practitioners gathered on site and online for a very inspiring, relaxed, and joyful weekend.
We are delighted to announce a retreat with Namkhai Yeshi from 20–27 August 2026 at Merigar East, where we will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of our beautiful Gar.
