GATEWAY TO THE DHARMA
Joining Our Study and Practice
as a Newcomer to DW
Dakini’s Whisper is an international online sangha dedicated to bringing the ancient wisdom of Vajrayana Buddhism into our modern-day lives. From this lineage of wandering yogis and yoginis, the emphasis is on each individual practitioner's own direct experience of the teachings and practice. Dakini's Whisper reveals how the human journey cannot be separated from the spiritual journey. The embodiment of the teachings is the secret to awakening for ourselves and all beings. Towards that end, we offer teachings and practice opportunities suitable for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike, including a weekly Sunday program, Subtle Body Training sessions, and more.
Whether you're a beginning Buddhist practitioner or are looking to deepen an existing practice, Dakini's Whisper offers practice opportunities that are suitable for people on all different stages of the path. Here is a description of many of our ongoing practice offerings. Once you have an idea of where you'd like to plugin, you can contact us with any questions, or follow the specific links for registration and links to online sessions.
DISCOVER
THE DHARMA
Dakini's Whisper Events
are an excellent entry point for those new to Dakini's Whisper and/or Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. Sessions begin with a short guided meditation and are followed by a dharma talk on topics related to foundational Vajrayana Buddhist teachings and practices. During these sessions, Khandro-la will occasionally offer public transmissions of Ear-Whispered lineage practices along with commentary.
Dakini’s Whisper public events are free and open to all. Please see our calendar for upcoming offerings.

EMBODY
WHO YOU ARE
Subtle Body Training
is a unique synthesis of traditional Tibetan subtle body-oriented techniques, pranayama practices, meditation, and modern healing modalities. Khandro-la's approach draws on her decades of practice experience as well as her experience as a certified Yoga Therapist.
This integrative approach employs skillful and evidence-based methods for moving toward wholeness on many levels -- psychological, physical, spiritual, and interpersonal. Its exercises and meditations influence our entire body, from the outer physical to the most subtle and profound energy and awareness levels. Through these practices, we come to rediscover our personal authenticity. See our new upcoming series in the "Upcoming Events" section.
