Dakini’s Whisper February & March 2021 Offerings

CHÖ, SEVERANCE - Fierce Compassion in Times of Crisis 

from a global pandemic to personal wounds

Dear Dakini’s Whisper Friends,

We are now living in both the worst of times and the best of times. The immense sufferings we face personally and globally provide an opportunity to come together as a human family, and connect our innately kind and compassionate human hearts in offering heartfelt prayers to all beings in the world.

In commemoration of our source teacher, the 9th Khalkha Jetsun Dampa, in February and March 2021, Dakini’s Whisper will be offering opportunities for practitioners to deepen the heart of their practice with teachings, empowerment, transmissions, Subtle Body Training Series, and Journey retreats focusing on “CHÖ, SEVERANCE - Fierce Compassion in Times of Crisis.” Various events and programs are presented at this crucial time of uncertainty and change, ranging from a global pandemic to personal wounds, to strengthen the aspiration to awaken for the sake of all beings. 

Join us, Chöying Khandro and your fellow travelers for these Dakini’s Whisper’s offerings that include our 1st Chö Monlam Prayer Festival, in honor of this rare and auspicious occasion commemorating our source teacher. 

Yours in Dharma

Khandro-la and DW Team
