A Monk, A Mandala, and A Movement of Awakening

🕉️ A Monk, A Mandala, and A Movement of Awakening

The Winter Solstice Week with Lama Tashi Norbu at Temple Mother Earth

📅 December 12 – 21 , 2025 • Washington DC

🌕 The Portal of Light

Something sacred is stirring in the heart of the city.
For ten days, Temple Mother Earth opens its doors to welcome Venerable Lama Tashi Norbu, Tibetan Buddhist monk, visionary artist, and founder of the Museum of Contemporary Tibetan Art.

From December 12–21, the temple becomes a living mandala, prayer, art, mantra, and fire woven together as one continuous offering.
This is not a conference or a workshop.
It is a field of remembrance, an invitation to step back into wholeness.

🪶 Why This Week Matters

Between December 12 and 21, Earth moves through her annual initiation — the Winter Solstice Gateway.
It is a sacred time when darkness and light trade places, when new consciousness takes root beneath the soil.
Each day carries its own vibration, guiding us from purification to illumination:

• Dec 12 – Temple Blessing: Opening the heart and home of the temple.
• Dec 13–14 – Festival of Creation: Live art, mantra, dance, and sand mandala.
• Dec 15–20 – Private Tattoo Prayers & Sacred Serpent Embodiment.
• Dec 21 – Winter Solstice Fire & Healing Concert: Renewal, release, rebirth.

When the world grows quiet, the soul speaks.
This week is your invitation to listen.

💎 The Sacred Tibetan Tattoo Prayers

A once-in-a-lifetime experience guided by Lama Tashi Norbu.
These are not ordinary tattoos, they are living mantras drawn through prayer and astrology, chanted into being, and inscribed upon the skin.

✨ How It Works

1. Lama Tashi consults your Tibetan astrological chart to reveal your personal mantra.
2. The mantra is chanted and blessed.
3. A sacred design emerges through meditation.
4. The mantra and design are tattooed as one — prayer fused with flesh.

Your body becomes a temple.
Your skin, a scroll.
Your mantra, a lifelong companion.
