Khaita session on educational conference
Warsaw, Poland
April, 2025
Two Khaita dancing sessions became a part of closing program for educational conference within the framework of the project “Digital development of education in local government units – training and consulting for local government staff”. The conference addressed developing education in cities—mostly around Warsaw, but not only. There were school principals and local officials in charge of education in their towns.
In the evening, during a more relaxed part of the event, there were two one-hour Khaita sessions with two group of participants.
“It was really fun—everyone got involved, we danced four dances, and there was loads of joy, laughter, and chill vibes, — tells Monika Marcik, who lead the sessions. — After that, I already got invited to another conference in September, and it looks like there might be more coming up. Seems like people are really into this kind of group activity—something you can do together, in a space full of openness, joy, and connection.”

Dzamling Gar Song
Yeselling, Austria
March 28—30, 2025
On the course we were not only focused on the learning of the steps and movements of the dance for Dzamling Gar Song, but also watched and read a lot of videos and quotes by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, related to it.
We talked a lot about Khaita goals and reasons, and how Rinpoche introduced it as practice.
We managed to work well with all three aspects of body, speech and mind, the singing was also quite powerful.
