Vajra Dance Course with Cosimo Di Maggio

Our very special Vajra Dance instructor Cosimo DiMaggio will offer a three days intensive retreat on the Vajra Dance of the Song of the Vajra.

This retreat is open for those who have already a stable base knowledge of the
Dance of Song of the Vajra.

The Vajra Dance is a method for integrating contemplation with our existence.
When we understand the principle of Vajra Dance and our energy is perfectly
harmonized by the Dance, the practitioner can experience calm, intensive joy which can have real benefit.

It can open a path of personal evolution towards greater clarity and peaceful
collaboration.
