Yoga and Mantra: Bodhicitta
Dec.
14

Yoga and Mantra: Bodhicitta

We do not practise yoga and mantras for our own benefit, but "for the benefit of all beings". What exactly does this mean and how can we strengthen our inner attitude with "bodhicitta" and align our outer actions with it? On this Sunday afternoon just before Christmas, we will experience the flow of bodhicitta in the combination of yoga asanas and mantras.

Mantra choir for 1 day

We meet once on a Saturday and form a mantra choir for a single day. We practise consciously experiencing the interplay of silence and sound. We work with simple exercises for body, breath, voice and sense of rhythm and learn mantras for several voices in the choir. Singing "beautifully" or "correctly" is not a prerequisite for participating in the Mantra Choir for 1 Day.
