Chöd “to sever, to cut” is a Tibetan meditation practice, first developed by the eleventh-century yoginī Machig Labdrön, that aims to cut through the demons of hindrance and obscuration that block our realization of our true nature.
The practitioner of Chöd seeks to utilize the power of fear to cut through ego-clinging. Machig Labdrön writes,
“… There is no greater devil than this present ego-clinging, and because of this all the devils will rear their ugly heads as long as one has not severed this clinging to ego.”
Let go of your fear of losing your body by offering it as food for flesh eating demons!
Join us for this immersive dharma art experience!
We promise you will return renewed, refreshed, and re-birthed.
This event is sound bath style. That means you can sprawl out on the floor. Mats and cushions will not be available. We encourage you to bring your own mat, pillow, and blanket. As well as any offerings of the senses (i.e. food, incense, candles, flowers), for our Psychedelic Buddhism altar installation.

Whenever in doubt turn off your mind relax float downstream.”
