      <image:title>Home - Dances of Universal Peace with Waduda and Jahanara.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Dances of Universal Peace are a joyful, embodied, sacred practice of sound and movement, using mantras from the many different spiritual traditions of the world. The chants and movements are powerful, but simple and repetitive, and easily accessible even to beginners and the less physically able. Everything is taught in the moment so anyone can join even if they have never tried it before. They are meditation in action, and bridge the gap between the meditation cushion and everyday life, training us to meet one another and ourselves in compassion and body-centered awareness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the core of this festival is the relationship of Art and Wisdom. Join us for an in depth discussion with artists Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, Robert Spellman and Barbara Dilley as they discuss how creativity influences their path and vice versa.

      <image:title>Panel Discussions - Virtual Reality and the Dharma: A Panel discussion</image:title>
      <image:caption>Virtual Reality is taking the world by storm. It will revolutionize entertainment and education, but its ultimate potential may rest in its ability to transform our awareness of reality. As an immersive medium unparalleled in history, the essence of VR lies more in art than in technology. Pulling the viewer into an alternate reality, much like the work of the greatest musicians and artists, VR provides a unique opportunity to perceive this reality differently.  This panel of artists, contemplatives, and scientists will explore the promise and peril of VR – the limitations of spectator art; Alternative World Syndrome; art as escapism; cognitive vs. embodied presence; and a host of other near enemies.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>An experiential workshop in which festival attendees are taught to tell the stories of their mothers. In this workshop, you will be introduced to Narativ's method for excavating, crafting and telling a story of your mother. Developed over the past 25 years and taught to thousands of individuals across the globe, this method is centered in the practices of listening, self-reflection and remembering. Through listening and telling mother stories, we can all learn to deepen our understanding and appreciation of mothers and motherhood, one story at a time.

      <image:title>Workshops - The Way of Haiku: Cultivating Awareness, Opening the Heart</image:title>
      <image:caption>Due to an unforeseen and unfortunate injury, Patricia will be unable to attend the festival in person, yet has generously offered to record an introduction to haiku and will be laying the groundwork for haiku awareness practice along with the 7 key principles to writing Haiku. Her recorded presentation will be shown at the workshop. In addition, we have the great honor and privilege to host Reed Bye who will be appearing on stage as a co-presenter. Reed has taught creative writing and poetics at Naropa University over the past twenty years and will lead participants through haiku exercises, including some discussion and feedback. We are delighted to have both talented writers joining the BAFF line-up.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Discovering elegance is the way of the warrior. Through gentleness and discipline, such a warrior brings a sense of harmony to everyday life."

      <image:caption>The practice of Buddhism is just as multi-faceted as the films presented here. From seven distinct filmmakers we see pink and orange robed nuns in Myanmar, the poetic call to action against self-immolation, a simple demonstration of our planet's insignificance, the freedom aspect of creativity demonstrated by artist and teacher Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, the beauty of impermanence, and a topsy-turny bear narrated by Alan Watts.

      <image:title>Art Performances - One Continuous Gesture</image:title>
      <image:caption>One Continuous Gesture will be a participatory exercise with Cynthia Moku. The group will be using brush, ink and paper - the three sacred elements of Asian calligraphy. These exquisite time-honored tools provide a flawless lens through which we can explore the possibilities of a seamless presence moving through our lives. She uses elements of formality, natural beauty, coded meaning, wilderness and ceremony to ensure an environment that inspires and stimulates, directly calling forth the muse in us all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Performances - Japanese Tea Ceremony: Performance by Hiroko Akima</image:title>
      <image:caption>From age 3, Hiroko Akima began to drink matcha tea with her rather unusual family in a Buddhist temple in Shimane prefecture.  She learned manners with her parents,  being in harmony with her father (Omotosenke tea) and her mother (Urasenke tea).  She began her formal study of tea at 14 years old,  continuing chanoyu (hot water and tea) throughout her university education in chemistry. In 1986, Akima-san received teaching certification. She moved to the U.S. in 1989 and began teaching and demonstrating Chado (the way of tea), receiving her master's diploma in 2010.  She teaches both adults and children, is an accomplished oil painter, ikebana artist, and loves making her own wagashi (japanese tea sweets!)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Exhibits - Kongtrul Jigme Namgyel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Deeply interested in activities that express the natural state of mind to which all meditation aspires, Mr. Namgyel, in his first encounters with Western art, particularly admired the work of Kandinsky and Picasso. Although trained in the traditional Tibetan arts of calligraphy, music and ritual dance, he first began to paint in the mid-1990's under the guidance of the French abstract expressionist Yahne Le Toumelin.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Exhibits - Cynthia Moku</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I find that colour, shape, texture, line - these animated tonal qualities of light - are latent composition rendered through years of training. Impervious to decay or the capricious migration of time, they are closer to reality than reality itself, and capable of expressing time-honored truths. Having trained in both contemporary western drawing &amp; painting, and traditional eastern Buddhist art, my artwork is multidimensional and multicultural, with certain bodies of work intended for interactive group participation. At the confluence of these two streams I sit: exploring, redefining, and celebrating the shared edge between Buddhist philosophy &amp; receptivity and current western though &amp; responsiveness."</image:caption>
