Over the last weekend of March, the long-awaited retreat with Oliver Leick took place under the auspices of Kunsangar North.
As Steven and Alessandro explained from the outset, the retreat had an experimental feel and had come together in a relatively short time. Rather than replacing tradition, we were exploring collaboratively how the nature of mind might be recognized in new ways – supported by immersive soundscapes which were produced and performed live.
March marks the beginning of autumn in Australia and we celebrated World Wide Vajra Dance Day by coming together for a weekend of dance and karma yoga
The night of Sunday March 8, 2026, our Vajra sister Donatella Ciardulli passed away in Rome, Italy after a long illness.
It was a surprising pleasure to awaken each morning to lovely birdsongs and walk through the semidarkness to the Gönpa of Dzamling Gar to begin another day of the Long Life practice of Mandarava, and to feel the presence of our Rinpoche, who 42 years ago in the cave of Mandarava in Nepal miraculously received this terma practice of Mandarava in a series of dreams.
During the retreat I often had the sense of eternity in the moment: time dilation was an unavoidable reality! The inevitable last day of the retreat arrived too soon. Namkhai Yeshi kindly gave us some simple, sound advice: relax, enjoy, try to avoid extreme feelings and behaviors that promote these feelings.
Sunday, March 1st, the second part of the Vajra Dance of the Song of the Vajra course taught by instructor Sachiko Fullita came to a close. This part focused on studying the Dance from the SAMBHARATHAMEKHACANTPA line through to the end.
On November 29, 2025, the “Gallery 2/17” space in St. Petersburg, Russia, hosted the creative evening “Portraits” organized by the Association of Contemporary Music (ACM).
Oliver Leick led an online retreat of Guruyoga of the White A at Tashigar Norte from 27 February – 1 March, 2026.
