Visit during the day to witness this sacred art taking shape, then join us in the evening at 5:30pm for mantra chanting and meditation. This is a chance to cultivate peace and compassion with trained Tibetan monks. On Wednesday, the final day, the mandala will be ceremonially dissolved, followed by a peace walk to the East River to release the sand. This is a reminder of the impermanence in life, as well as an offering of blessings to the world. All are welcome!
