Embodied Heart Sutra (Non-residential workshop)
With Prajwal Vajracharya
February 6 - 8, 2026
This retreat invites participants to explore the Heart Sutra through sacred movement and embodied meditation. In Charya dance, we translate the profound teaching of emptiness into physical experience allowing insight to arise through the body, not just the intellect.
Through flowing movement, stillness, gesture, and mantra, participants are guided to sense how form and emptiness are not separate, but continuously interwoven. Prajñāpāramitā, the feminine embodiment of wisdom, is invoked as a living presence expressed through clarity, openness, and fearless compassion.
No prior dance experience is required. This practice is about presence, attunement, and listening deeply to the body as a doorway to wisdom.
