This weekend of intensive Vajra Dance practice is intended for those who have already taken a course(s) in the particular Vajra Dance. Khaita is open to everyone, and this is a great opportunity to learn with our visiting instructor, Alejandra Krasnogor.

Practitioners who are not dancing are welcome to join the practice by the Mandala, singing the Song of the Vajra or the mantras of the Dance being danced that day.

Please plan to arrive early to help prepare the Mandala. We will need help sweeping, setting out additional portable Mandalas and putting out cushions.

We will start on time.
