Together we make Origins what it is.

2023
Final session of the 2022 series, class and wongkur on the passion of Vajrayogini: 11 & 12 February.

Vajrasattva is the archetype of purification and restoration, the central purpose of practice. As an Adi-Buddha or primary archetype, he/she/they re-present a great fullness of mindful compassion, the very core of the teachings. Vajrasattva could also be translated as the active practice of undivided or perhaps unified being … both universal and individual, holistic, and intimate, like a diamond with many facets. One can think of Vajrasattva as all the efforts to heal and maintain the path of peace, in oneself and the world: now, in the past and in the future. 

Vajrasattva series: 1 & 2 April, 17 & 18 June, 5 & 6 August and 19 & 19 November.
Saturdays, 3.30pm – 4.30pm: Discourse, questions & comments and suggestions for practising.
Sundays, 9.50am – 11am: Interactive wongkur (ceremonial, symbolic, sacred theatre) related to the previous day’s discourse. Each weekend will celebrate and explore a different Vajrasattva text.

All sessions are live in the studio, on ZOOM and recorded (available for 3 days only post session).
Venue: Centre for Movement Studies, 45 Evans Street Shenton Park and on ZOOM
Cost is, as always, by dana. There is a bowl at the entrance of the studio if attending in person. For Zoom attendees: Please send your donation to the Teachers Account: BSB 066 504, Account 1012 8642 or Paypal: https://paypal.me/chimshore?country.x=AU&locale.x=en_AU
