Khaita course in Venice, October 21-22

Khaita Course in Venice, October 21-22

𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚!

with Adriana Dal Borgo

This class is suitable for everyone: we will find out what Khaita Joyful Dances are, learn together the basic steps and some simple circle dances.
Khaita means “Harmony in Space”: the goal is to promote harmony through dance, in the individual, in the group and also with the environment around us.
 
The Khaita Dances were developed by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu together with his students based on modern songs performed by young Tibetan artists.
 
These dances are engaging and easy to learn. Requiring no special skills, they are suitable for people of all ages and even those unfamiliar with music and dance.
 
The choreographies, based on interaction and recognition of one’s own and others’ space, promote openness to others and collaboration. They entertain, strengthen the body and educate to move in harmony in space and time.
Joyful Khaita Dances are a great way to relax from the tensions of daily life.

Days of Tibetan dances in Naples

Days of Tibetan Dances in Naples

October 14-15, 2023
𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗬. The Khaita Joyful Dances, inspired by Tibetan culture, came to Napoli on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15, 2023.
These were two opportunities to learn the basic steps and begin a journey in search of balance, both psychophysical and with the world outside. This project, promoted by the International Atiyoga Foundation, was hosted on Saturday by the Museo Nitsch, while on Sunday, it was held at Vomero, in the pedestrian area of ​​Piazza degli Artisti.


Questa mattina in Piazza degli Artisti con l’iniziativa Kaita danze gioiose per promuovere la cultura tibetana promossa da International Atiyoga Foundation dopo essere stata presente anche nel Museo Nitsch sabato 14 ottobre .
Con Adriana Dal Borgo, insegnante di gioiose danze Khaita abbiamo appreso attraverso passi di danza che il nodo infinito è una linea continua intrecciata che non si interrompe mai. Questo nodo è inscritto in un cerchio, che rappresenta appunto il nostro pianeta. Non ci può essere armonia senza rispetto, e il rispetto per se stessi e per gli altri non può prescindere dal rispetto per la natura perché siamo parte di essa.
Namdeling, centro napoletano della Comunità Dzogchen Internazionale che diffonde a Napoli la cultura tibetana propone una nuova modalità di rispondere alla complessità delle nostre vite suggerendoci di riscoprire, come è uso fare in Tibet, il piacere del movimento gioioso attraverso la danza e il canto. Le danze gioiose aiutano a scoprire la gioia di essere insieme, di muoversi con gli altri in armonia, di rispondere agli insulti del vivere con un atteggiamento rilassato e positivo, così da portare poi gioia nella vita quotidiana e nelle nostre relazioni
Il progetto è rivolto soprattutto ai giovani in una chiave di educazione alle emozioni e alla consapevolezza, coltivando il benessere corporeo e psichico e la collaborazione come modello alternativo alla competizione. Ringrazio la comunità Namdeling e Chiara Tortorelli perché attraverso il progetto presentato e patrocinato dalla Municipalita 5 con la Presidente Clementina Cozzolino e l’Assessore Claudio D’Angelo si cerca di apportare nuovi modelli di approccio alla vita attraverso passi di danza che aiutano a liberare energia positiva e un un clima di serenità a sconfiggere la monotonia e lo stress regalando ai territori un maggiore equilibrio

Workshop in Lima, Peru

September 30, October 8

On September 30th and October 8th we were very happy to organize, with the support of Peruvian Gakyil and Dzogchen Community, two public presentations of Khaita and Vajra Dance in Lima, Peru. Both of them were wonderful occasions for practitioners to remember the joy of dancing and being together, as we lost our renting place in the pandemia. Also it was so nice how people in the street wanted to participate and try for the first time. It was a very relaxing and joyful experience for everyone!

Khaita course in Budapest

Khaita Joyful Dances with Petra Zezulková

Budapest, August 2023

On August 25-27, 2023 in Budapest (Hungary) passed a course on Khaita Joyful Dances with Petra Zezulková. The course was held by Hungarian DC in Tan Kapuja Buddhista Főiskola.

On the course among other dances will learnt Tashi Monlam བཀྲ་ཤིས་སྨོན་ལམ། Invocation of Fortune, one of Tashi, offering dances, which involve invocation of fortune, long life, prosperity and happiness for all beings, harmonize inner and outer elements and were recommended by Rinpoche as a practice of dedication of merits.

“…May fortune and happiness come about!
With no illness afflicting the body,
With no suffering arising in the mind,
May relatives and friends join together and live happily
And the fortune of realizing one’s desires come about!
… With a capacity shining forth like the sun and moon,
With an ocean of merit twirling abundantly,
With the length of human life flowing continuously like a river,
May the fortune of the fulfillment of all wishes come about!
… While the elements do not exist as enemies,
While the environment does not become impoverished,
May beings and nature live in peace and harmony!
And the fortune of increasing happiness come about!”

– from Tashi Monlam

Thank you so much, Petra, all participants and organizers!

We will continue to repeat new dances and learn more on regular practisies in TKBF Aula on Wednesdays 19:30.

For any questions please contact Gakyil info.dzogchen@gmail.com or coordinator of the course nadiia.gnatenko@gmail.com.
