Stupas activating harmonious forces

Replicas of ancient Buddhist monuments. Fired out of terracotta clay, these 186 Stupas surround one of the world’s most remarkable living Mandalas. 

Stupas are symbols of enlightenment, a reminder of our human potential for awakening. Working with a Stupa, even being close to it, has a powerful effect. It transmits blessings and subdues negative forces.

Participants will benefit:

  • Learning and developing new skills
  • Being part of a truly historic undertaking

  • Becoming part of a like-minded community
  • Making work an expression of your total being, through concentration, responsibility and inner freedom.
