Khaita Practice Meeting at Gyamtsholing, Venice
Gyamtsholing, Venice
October 26â27, 2024
Taste of a rich Khaita weekend in Venice: a warm and joyful gathering of new and senior teachers and other practitioners who love the Joyful Dances.
We reviewed some slightly more complex but beautiful dances that we worked on a lot in the past with Rinpoche. The Masterâs presence and light accompanied us during the weekend, like a warm and bright caress on our hearts.
The meeting was interspersed with enjoyable moments strolling around the city, in pizzerias and local âbacari,â accompanied by our native guides.

Happy New Year of the Wood Dragon!â
Khaita Wood Dragon, watercolour by Cindy Faulkner
The Tibetan dragon (or Druk) is a symbol of power and of hidden, intangible knowledge. Being invisible, he manifests himself through sound and energy. The dragon thunders in the sky with the sound of compassion that awakens us from delusion and increases what we can understand through hearing. Thus, it is said that dragons bring forth our awareness towards the things that we cannot see.
âWhen spring begins, one hears thunderstorms. Live on! When this happens, rain falls, and rain is very important for nature, for maturing and for life. And rainbows, lights, and colours appear everywhere. ⌠thunder, rain, and rainbows appear, which are all typical manifestations of the dragon.â
â from ChĂśgyal Namkhai Norbuâs commentary to the song Ema Lha Gyallo
Losar is a great time for dancing and singing to bring fortune and peace to the new year. Below are videos and photos from this year Losar performances and celebrations.

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 âHarmony in Spaceâ: the goal is to promote harmony through dance, in the individual, in the group and also with the environment around us.
Â
The Khaita Dances were developed by ChĂśgyal Namkhai Norbu together with his students based on modern songs performed by young Tibetan artists.
Â
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.
Â
The choreographies, based on interaction and recognition of oneâs own and othersâ 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
đ§đ˘ đđđĄđđ đ§đ˘ đđđĄđ đđđĽđ đ˘đĄđŹ. 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 ââPiazza degli Artisti.
Questa mattina in Piazza degli Artisti con lâiniziativa 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 perchÊ 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, cosÏ 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 comunitĂ Namdeling e Chiara Tortorelli perchĂŠ attraverso il progetto presentato e patrocinato dalla Municipalita 5 con la Presidente Clementina Cozzolino e lâAssessore Claudio DâAngelo 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 serenitĂ a sconfiggere la monotonia e lo stress regalando ai territori un maggiore equilibrio
