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

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!

Dancing in Venice

Thursday evening on July 27 on San Trovaso square in Venice we danced together with guests and residents of the place. The event happened as a part of a series of cultural events held on San Trovaso square (the full article in Il Gazettino newspaper could be found by link). 

“The Khaita evening in Venice in Campo S. Trovaso was magical: a natural theatre under the sky that a group of Venetians are trying to revive according to ancient customs, with cultural events dedicated to citizens.  Adriana, Monika, Petra and Marco guided an enthusiastic group of newcomers as they took their first steps under the stars.”
