Pasadini

Pasadini’s (they/them) main focus in practice is working with shadow energies, and they encourage curiosity in meeting all that arises in experience through deeper connection with our heart and energetic being. They currently live in Glasgow and are studying to become a counsellor. They have been a student of Buddhist meditation since 2000 and lead retreats regularly at Dhanakosa.

simply being and the mandala of uselessness

Friday, 24 October 2014 to Friday, 31 October 2014 2014

We’re very attached to the notion that our lives ‘should’ be useful, purposeful and meaningful. Yet ultimately these are just figments of the human mind. 

The ‘mandala of uselessness’ is simply being:  being what we really are, inseparable from nature itself which is undivided and ungraspable.
