The opening of the Mandala Lab took place in Union Square at Canary Wharf, London.
The free evening program included an outdoor sound experience of a live gong-and-water improvisation by Dame Evelyn Glennie, followed at sundown by London’s first-ever Breathe-In guided by Tibetan Buddhist teacher Khen Rinpoche Hungtrampa.
It was a synchronized participatory breathing meditation aimed at invoking a baseline for well-being.
Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart outlined the health and social benefits of the breathing pace generated by the Lab.
This event took place rain or shine, and attendees had the opportunity to learn what could happen when they breathed in sync with others.
