Harmony in Motion: The Vajra Dance That Benefits Beings Flourishes in Melbourne

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.
