The mandala is complete and even more it is a joy to be many and important to have some new Pawo in our very ‘female’ local Community.

In the last three years it has not been easy to organize courses and get together and this course immediately turned out to be a special occasion not to be missed: a course on the Dance of the Three Vajras in beautiful Venice with international teacher Adriana Dal Borgo, who generously offered her time, and the relevant support of second level instructor Paola Pillon. Male and female dancers also came from other cities bringing us their energy.

“The mandala is the symbol of our dimension, our Dance is beyond physical limits…the Dance is dancing in space…”. The weekend began with a short and intense introduction by Adriana who helped beginners to learn the steps and slightly more expert practitioners to discover the details and the deeper meaning of the OM A HUM. 

The gaze…”those who already know the steps should try to have an open gaze, without being attached to visions…even the shoulders should be more open, a longer or shorter step changes our attitude…”. And it is precisely the attitude, the openness towards the practice that will allow us to find “the harmony and synchronization of dancing together. We will no longer dance alone but with others, because”, adds Adriana, “even the most skilled dancers, who know the steps very well, sometimes dance alone”.

So we danced together for these two days in which the practice was certainly not limited to the mandala, but, as happens, thanks also to the atmosphere of serenity created by those who donated their knowledge to the participants, also included all the moments spent in company, having fun, eating lunch, always aware of the immutable and irreplaceable preciousness of our Master’s teaching.
