Thangka Art Retreat

​Omega Institute
NY, USA

​
June 30-July 5, 2024​​

Join us for the annual Arts Week at the wonderful Omega Institute!

Learn to draw and/or paint a Buddha or Mandala, and enjoy lectures on Tibetan Art during this meditative retreat with like-minded people, at the beautiful Omega Institute in Rhinebeck NY.

Carmen’s personal approach and guidance makes this retreat suitable for students of all levels.

The subject this week is Green Tara and her mandala. You can choose which one you want to work on this week.

Beginners may also choose for Buddha Shakyamuni or Medicine Buddha as their subject this week (as these are better suitable for beginners) but please contact Carmen beforehand if you would like that so she can prepare this for you.

There will be time to make lovely walks, visit the sweet village of Rhinebeck and join the extra eveing programs that Omega offers.

Omega offers amazing meals and you can choose from different places to stay on campus (or off campus).
