I do not believe this aligns with the Dharma the DW community is called to represent. These images are not helpful to sadhana practice; rather, they are grossly provocative and are an inappropriate female representation of our sacred Dakini. I cannot stand behind this podcast.

I absolutely love this caption you put on this art piece, Shona.

I am so inspired by this!

The questions you asked and the excitement for art is so great! Thanks for creating this for us, Khandro-la!

Shona, sister, I actually had this same misunderstanding too and was so thankful you were a courageous Dakini to ask where I was not. I am so thankful for you! A la la.

Sister, I read this while I was on my last leg of the moving journey and it helped me by touching me deeply! I love that your journey has brought you here and that you've chosen to share it with us. I identify with your fierce-gentleness and really appreciate having someone else along this path who also feels that .. thank you for revealing it to me so I can see it within me too!

Thank you, Khandro-la!

I had not thought of fierceness and wrathfulness withing the contest of JUST, and I truly identify with that .. like to the core of my being. The concept of JUSTICE in my life has taken many forms and I didn't connect your idea with my own concepts. Now, I will and now things feel smoother internally for me.

Thank you for making these for us students, Khandro-la. I also have such a sense of responsibility I feel when I see these too because this is the Dakini Dharma we are tasked with to bring into the world. I also really loved this video!

Shona, I love Her face. It doesn't look fierce to me .. She looks so passive on the "face", but there's some undercurrent of "ima kick you in the face because you need it". I am happy She found Her home with you.

Our retreat wraps up tomorrow and it has been one of the most profound experiences I have had in this short lifetime. I will not be able to stop mantras becasue ... this is who I am now. I cannot find another way to describe that, but in my free time I turn towards Her and cannot find another thing I want to do. Within the chaos, there is deep peace now. I am eternally grateful to you, Khandro-la, for allowing me to do this Vajrayogini closed retreat.

I love this, Khandro-la! Thank you for your kindness!

Equanimity? .. I hope for that for you!

What else can I say to you that I haven't already, Shona? I will never be able to thank you enough for "taking me with you" as you have, and I cannot wait to talk to you all about your adventures as you transversed Her landscape! Be well and stay safe until then, Vajra Sister.

It's never too early imo!

Ellen, this is beautiful.

I really like reading this over and over, Ellen @Ellen Green (Yeshe Wangmo)! It's a beautiful perspective.

I just absolutely love this! It's raw and dark and I keep finding more and more within her!

I love your experience, Louise! I too found a deeper level to my entire practice after hearing "surrender"! I'm so glad you're with me on this journey!
