You think it’s too late to plan some kind of commemorative/commiserative event for the 5.31 rules committee meeting that led to the birth of PUMA? Maybe make it net/blog based? Any interest?Follow us on Bluesky! @skydancingblog.bsky.social

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

HI, dakinikat,
I saw your reply to my blog post earlier today at The Conflu about this idea. I would really like a conference of some kind, in person and face to face. I don’t know if we have time to put that together. But I have been asking about it for *months*. I guess there’s just too much friction behind the scenes for people to get it together and hold a conference.
Having said that, I would like to participate in whatever may come up along the lines of commemorating the 5/31/08 disaster.
That is a terrific idea!
I know that people are still very raw over what happened. There was a recent post on NQ about DB and whew! people did not hold back about how they felt about her.
Dakinikat,
I am for some sort of plan. as long as it contains a “where we are headed now” vibe. but also has to lay out CLEARLY and briefly what happened last may. and to say we will not forget.
it should probably be virtual.
an on line statement that is broad enough for people from riverdaughter to cannonfire to sign for example.
I’m in! Just let me know when and where (?)
I’m ready.
