Sand Mandala Workshops
Participants in these workshops will learn about the meaning and history of the sand mandala. The Namgyal monks will teach traditional techniques using the chak phur to create designs with the colored sand, allowing participants themselves to experience fully both the exquisiteness and difficulty of this art form. These workshops can be adapted for any age group.
Guided Meditation
Several mornings during the tour, the monks will guide workshop participants through traditional Tibetan Buddhist meditation techniques including breathing, body placement and thought awareness. Stress and anxiety are reduced leaving participants refreshed and re-energized in a beautiful way to start the day.
