šŸ“– Events Outside Of NC That Maybe Of Interest

Anyone interested in Tibetan Art can enter that world as a beginner or experienced painter/practitioner with Carmen Mensik. Iā€™ve taken several courses with her, both in-person and online and highly recommend the experience.

It looks fantastic. Itā€™s quite far from me, unfortunately. It would be nice if they showed more detail about just what was going to be covered, and what the details are of the commitments.

Iā€™m sure that if you send them an email, they would clarify this for you.
I talked with my Lu Jong teacher (who is also Tulku Lobsang Rimpocheā€™s student) about this, and have some ideas of what the commitments might be (some of them are to empower the practice together at a distance), and there will be space for deciding things with a lot of care and time. What I found truly inspiring is that if you donā€™t go for the commitments, you receive the Blessings anyway and are fully empowered to practice Tummu :sun_with_face:

Thatā€™s great. I couldnā€™t quite tell if that were the case.

TWRā€™s first AI artwork, is now available in 12 high-quality prints, thanks to the generosity of one of his students and friend, Leon. TWR is planning to donate these prints to his centers to raise funds and also to other nonprofit organizations that are doing great work for humanity. Each print has been signed and sealed by him. Soon they will be auctioned!

I LOVE it!..


LOVE this creative initiative :heart_eyes:

Online (pre-recorded as far as I can tell) dream yoga course with TWR.

There is a moderated forum where you can supposedly submit questions to TWR. Iā€™m thinking of signing up!

Thank you for this! Will have to check this one out.

If you find this please share a link. I signed up to the website that his course was on but donā€™t see a forum there.

I asked the site support earlier: when a lesson posts during the class, a link to a forum for that lesson will appear, and thatā€™s the time where questions may be submitted (as I understand, focused on that lesson), I had asked if there was a limit on the # of questions:

The course forum will have a link for each lesson from the course where students of the Dream Yoga course can submit their lesson-based questions. One of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpocheā€™s assistants will collect the questions and post his answers in the course forum on his behalf.

I am assuming, Rinpoche will answer as many questions as possible that are relevant to the lesson from the course.

Sheā€™s called ā€œThe Hugging Saintā€ and from my experience, worthwhile seeing/hugging. We stayed at her Ashram in 2014 while I participated in a conference at her University nearby. If you check her schedule she may be in a venue near you.

Iā€™ve signed up. Iā€™m hoping to be able to submit all my pithy questions to TWR and get good answers.
