Spring Equinox Celebration
With Drubpön Lama Karma
March 23 - 24, 2019
Spring Equinox signals new beginnings and the renewal of the earth as plants begin to bloom again and animals come out of hibernation. Marking the end of winter, the equinox indicates the beginning of a new life cycle. Thus, the beginning of spring provides us with an opportunity to seek renewal, set new intentions, and redirect our path. We invite you to greet and celebrate the arrival of spring at Tara Mandala!
For anyone who would prefer not to drive home after the afternoon teachings, there are overnight accommodations available. If you choose to stay overnight, you will be invited to our evening Tsog celebration, a special feast offering ceremony, in the main temple shrine room. Prayer Flags will be available for purchase in the Dakini Store from 9:30 – 10:15 am. Or feel free to bring your own.
