The Mystical Arts of Tibet: Sacred Music Sacred Dance performance comprises selections believed to generate energies conducive to world healing. Robed in magnificent costumes and playing traditional Tibetan instruments, the Loseling monks perform ancient temple music and dance for world healing. The program features authentic temple dances and multi-phonic chanting. This is a rare opportunity for a look into the Tibetan monastic culture as these pieces are rarely seen outside the monasteries in which they are performed. The Mystical Arts of Tibet is a world tour endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to promote world peace and healing. The artists are monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery (re-established in exile in South India). The performers on The Mystical Arts of Tibet tour are not full-time professionals; rather genuine monks who are taking time off from their life-long devotion to contemplation and study to participate in the tour. These monk artists consider it an honor to be selected to represent their monastery and share their cultural traditions on the tour, hoping that they will be able to make some small contribution toward world peace and toward greater awareness of the Tibetan situation. At the end of each tour the monks return to Drepung Loseling Monastery to continue their vocation. In addition to the performance on October 13 the Monks will also create a Sand Mandala at UPAC from Wednesday October 9 thru Saturday October 12. The creation of the mandala will be free and open to the public each day.

My MISSION is to help you become true to your self and live your intended purpose on this planet. I do this by removing all blockages in the body whether it be emotional, physical or spiritual with the use of my hands and also the use of my psychic, intuitive, medium and channeling abilities. I am an emotional, physical and spiritual empath and can ‘double’ a person to gather what needs to be worked on internally. My specialty is being outdoors with the use of nature using air, water, trees and rocks to bring a person back to their intended state. I may use crystals and sound and tuning forks to aid me in this process. I further gather knowledge to assist you from angelic beings, higher guides, and ascended masters and my dream state. I am a spiritual coach and teacher. I have Reiki USUI level 2 training. Each person is their own unique approach as each person is different.
