Giving Thanks '24 & Planting Karmic Seeds '25

Are you looking for a meaningful way to honour and close out this year?  Would you like support connecting to your highest resolutions as you head into another new year? 

During this event, you'll be guided to give thanks for the journey of 2024, and sow beneficial intentions for the future year 2025, in a very heartfelt, connecting and embodied way - including a guided, intentional yin-yoga session with Erin Lee featuring incredible live music from renowned musician Tenzin Choegyal, and special Black Hat Tibetan dance performance from Tenzin Kunsang for removing obstacles.

Tenzin Choegyal is one of the world’s finest musicians in the Tibetan tradition. As a son of Tibetan nomads, he feels a particular connection to the music of the high Himalayan plateau.

In a career spanning 20+ years Tenzin has performed at festivals across Australia and curated numerous events and concerts including Brisbane’s annual Festival of Tibet. Internationally he has performed in New Zealand, Japan, India, Germany, Bangladesh, Russia and USA, including performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He has also opened many of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Public Talks in Australia, New Zealand and Japan with his musical offerings.

During this event, Tenzin will be playing live music to the yin yoga class guided by Erin Lee.

Singer, dancer and multi-instrumentalist, Tenzin Kunsang was born and raised in the Tibetan refugee community in Northern India. Tenzin studied at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA), one of the first institutions established by Dalai Lama. TIPA aims to keep traditional Tibetan performance culture alive. He is one of TIPA’s most prominent graduates, showcasing Tibetan folk and classical music and dance for audiences around the world. Tenzin has lived in Nagano, Japan since 2010. In 2017 he released his first album, Sounds of Wind Horse and recently provided the score for a popular Japanese TV series.

During this event, Tenzin Kunsang will be performing a Black Hat Tibetan Dance, for removing obstacles.

Event highest intention:

Together we grow our capacity to accept what has been, awaken to what's here now, and open our hearts to what's possible for the future of our own lives and the world around us.

"Gratitude is the fuel that fills the heart and activates the soul."

The way we relate to the events of the past determines the experience we will have now... 
This event is an invitation to gather together to see out the end of 2024 with compassion, gratitude and peace.
You'll be guided to reflect on all that has unfolded this year with curiosity and kindness. This will prepare your mind and heart as fertile ground for planting new, intentional seeds - that will flourish. 

"Energy flows where intention goes."

We are energetic beings. As we move towards the turn of the year, let's infuse ourselves with higher intentions that are beneficial to us, and all those around us.
