Ancient dance traditions in Himalayan cultures and Buddhist ritual arts
Yangchenma Arts & Music presents a four-part live-streamed series about sacred dance in the Himalayas.
Hosted by Core of Culture, the series features Lindsay Gilmour from UC Irvine and Joseph Houseal, director of Core of Culture and columnist at Buddhistdoor Global (BDG).
The live-streamed sessions will include discussions with special guests like Newar tantric priest Prajwal Ratna Vajracharya, wilderness specialist Nathan Whitmont, and Ladakhi cultural activist Dr. Thinles Dorje.
Core of Culture, a nonprofit organization, focuses on safeguarding intangible world culture and preserving ancient dance traditions, particularly in Himalayan cultures and Buddhist ritual arts.
Their mission includes educating the public, practitioners, and scholars about disappearing cultural heritage and assisting in the continuity of these traditions for future generations.
