This summer, we invite you to study the profound "Nature of Mind" teachings with senior Tara Mandala Teachers, (Lopöns) Pieter Oosthuizen and Charlotte Rotterdam at Hollyhock, June 5-10.

SKYMIND is a rare opportunity to engage with original Tibetan texts from the great yogini Machig Labdrön, translated into accessible, transformative practices for the 21st century. 🌿

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
• Open Awareness: Training the attention to find spaciousness.
• Elemental Integration: Practices held outdoors on the sacred land of Cortes Island.
• Embodied Wisdom: Moving beyond scholarship into a lived experience of compassion.
