Join others as we dedicate this offering to our loved ones on the other side.
The Bardo Chö is a Tibetan Buddhist ceremony performed to support the deceased, regardless of their religion, in the afterlife journey. It supports afterlife passage by creating an environment of care, love and nurturance while traversing the bardo (realm between death and rebirth) landscape.
It is best done within a year of a person's (or pet's) transition but can be done at any time to uplift their current situation. This offering assists in healing karma, clearing obstacles and guiding the departed towards their highest spiritual goals or aspirations.
In a group ceremony, the ritual is performed for multiple deceased loved ones at one time. It can be offered once or regularly. In addition to supporting the departed, it provides comfort and connection for those left behind.
Please bring a photo or other object that represents your person or pet to place on a communal altar.
If you are coming from out of town, please find more information about staying at the Harmony Hotel here. Making a long weekend (or week) of it and attending the Healing Ceremony on 9/17 is recommended!
Harmony offers a wide variety of treatments (bodywork, breathwork, craniosacral, acupuncture), yoga, meditation and surfing. This unique and inspiring hotel is set on a thoughtfully designed property integrated with its environment and supportive of local community. There will be no structured activity beyond the two evening ceremonies leaving you plenty of time for a “hard reset for modern life”.
As I am being hosted as an artist in residence, Chö ceremonies will be part of Harmony’s robust community engagement initiative. Open to all, free of charge.
