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.”

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!
