We celebrated the snowy New Year with mulled wine, a bonfire, a tea ceremony and a fire show, which is already becoming a regular tradition. In the absence of a real snake, a gecko became a living symbol of the coming year.
On December 31, we arranged a festive dinner and gathered around a fire near the center of the School of Tibetan Medicine. The participants warmed themselves with hot mulled wine and celebrated the arrival of the new year in an informal atmosphere. And for the birds, we made a bird canteen.
During these days, there were retreats on Yantra Yoga, classes on children’s Yantra Yoga Kumar-Kumari, Vajra Dance and Santi Maha Sangha.
An important event in February was the retreat with Namkhai Yeshi. We were waiting for it so eagerly that we melted the winter. The weather was almost Italian. Compare two Februarys – for 2024 and 2025 (photos from the same angle with a difference of exactly one year – with and without snow).
At the end of February, we all celebrated Losar together. We actively prepared, and sewed Tibetan prayer flags in our special workshop. And then we spent time hanging them up almost around the clock.
We send everyone a big hello to everyone!
With love,
Kunsangar North Gakyil
