Dear Vajra Family,
We’re excited that the Dance Dance Dance retreat starts this Friday August 28, at the Vajra Hall on Khandroling in Buckland, MA.
The first weekend of Dance Dance Dance 2026, August 29 and 30, presents an opportunity to learn the Dance of Vajra that Benefits Beings. This practice is ideal for people new to Vajra Dance, and is open to all who are interested, no experience necessary.
If you’re just curious and would like to see the Vajra Dance, please join us on Saturday, August 29 at 10:00am at the Vajra Hall. If you’d like to learn the Dance of the Vajra that Benefits Beings, please plan to attend the entire weekend. If you know someone who is curious or interested, please invite them to attend as well. See the full schedule below.
Please bring clean socks or shoes with soft, smooth soles for walking or dancing on the mandala (no bare feet).
We hope to see you on the mandala!
Warmest wishes,
Tsegyalgar East Gakyil
