Khaita courses with instructor Wojciech Torczyński took place for the first time before and during the summer retreat at Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s Ligmincha retreat center near Warsaw, Poland.

“It is beautiful to experience joy and relax at the same time and this is what I felt before leading this first ‘external’ course and practice for Ligmincha. When I arrived in Chiamma Ling it only got better with each session and each day. The Ligmincha community is very dedicated toward practice, aware and cooperative. The Khaita sessions were attended by a large number of participants, most of whom have danced Tibetan steps for the first time. This practice of presence in movement was widely appreciated and recognized as a beneficial suplement to the programme of the course. 

Regardless of age or fitness people approached these dances with great enthusiasm and joy. Most importantly participants observed and understood how this practice positively impacts their state of body, energy and mind. Many have literally expressed their experience of joy and harmony that arose with practicing Khaita. It is worth underlining that this is the very message and meaning of Khaita. I feel great satisfaction and gratitude for this opportunity.”

During the last day of the retreat Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche underlined the importance of collaboration between Sanghas including the International Dzogchen Community.
