On April 30th, we had the first public event of this kind in the Gönpa of Dzamling Gar, the first of hopefully many to come. It was a collaboration of Atiyoga Foundation, Dzamling Gar, Iskcon and local Yoga instructors in an important event for our Community to welcome everyone into our home! It was a beautiful afternoon and a great success.

First Wellbeing Retreat at Dzamling Gar!

First Wellbeing Retreat at Dzamling Gar!

It was the first time for us to operate this type of retreat, so it was a bit of trial and error, but everyone’s shining faces and the improvement in dancing made me feel deep joy and very satisfied. I would like to thank Anna Apraksina, the other Vajra Dance instructor, the participants, the Gakyil, all those who helped and especially to our Master. I am so grateful to all of them.

Then I started to discover playing music. The plays I did were always closely related to music, in fact we did an Rock Opera with friends and great musicians in 1983. But I was always on the other side, directing, staging, or writing. When I turned fifty, my friend Marisa gave me an acoustic guitar and from that moment on I began to study guitar, then sax, then piano and finally the bandoneon [ed. a type of concertino].

Stuff and Stuffing

Stuff and Stuffing

At the door, is a pile of stuff. I am looking at it with the eye of measurement. Why? The pile looks paltry. True, it is colorful, a mound of sweaters, and not just any ones, these are all cashmere, some made in Scotland, the very best quality. At the same time, they are not the best because they are second hand, culled from charity shops and thrifting.
