I will continue to post more details to this thread as they become available.This historic First International Chöd-Zhije Conference will draw together leading scholars and practitioners researching and teaching this unique lineage in its various manifestations. Keynotes, panel discussions, and small group sessions will be held. They will explore the teachings of 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön and her teacher, the renowned Indian yogi Padampa Sangye, the developments of the lineage over the last millennium, the role of women, as well as the application of these teachings to our modern world. Dharma teachings and performances of Chöd songs and dances will foster a rich and engaged experience. Follow-up retreats will offer the opportunity to learn some of the different Chöd practices.

At this time, it is on the connection between Chod and Dzogchen, I may instead do a presentation on provocations. It is not completely decided.DGA wrote:I will try to attend this.

I hope they live-stream or record the conference for those of us who can't attend.

I intend to bring this up. I am not sure streaming is an option however due to the remoteness of Tara Mandala.Vasana wrote:I hope they live-stream or record the conference.

Good stuff. I assume past webcasts and transmissions from Lama Tsultrim Allione weren't from Tara Mandala then.Malcolm wrote:I intend to bring this up. I am not sure streaming is an option however due to the remoteness of Tara Mandala.Vasana wrote:I hope they live-stream or record the conference.

Re: Historic Chod Conference July 12-16th
This sounds like a delightful opportunity for many people. May everyone benefit!
As a side note, I think this officially marks Chöd's public and formal establishment in the US because a long-weekend conference complete with meals, speakers, earlybird pricing, and likely goodie bags is sort of the way movements get finally recognized by many in our country.
And I would love to see what's in a Chöd goodie bag. heheh! Maybe they'll have something from The Bone Room in Albany, CA.

I kind of wish they had given it a cool name, like "Tromapalooza" or "Machig: The Gathering".

I will bring it up at the next meeting and specifically tell Lama Tsultrim you complained...dzogchungpa wrote:I kind of wish they had given it a cool name, like "Tromapalooza" or "Machig: The Gathering".
Re: Historic Chod Conference July 12-16th
Maybe Lama Tsultrim might consider inviting her friend Ram Dass, not as a teacher, but to receive the healing benefits, they could have him sit in the center of the Chod practice circles. I'd love to have someone do Chod for me. Any way for remote participation...like putting names in the circle?Malcolm wrote:I will bring it up at the next meeting and specifically tell Lama Tsultrim you complained...dzogchungpa wrote:I kind of wish they had given it a cool name, like "Tromapalooza" or "Machig: The Gathering".

BTW, it turns out that "Tromapalooza" is already in use.

At this point, there will not be live-streaming (but it may be possible), but the conference will be recorded/videoed.
