The Smoke Dragon is one of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s extremely rare paintings. It is the largest painting he did. It was a gift to the Chogyam Trungpa Institute in 2019 by his wife, Diana Mukpo. Due to the interruption of the pandemic, it is only now being permanently installed at the Nalanda Campus. Please join us in celebrating the arrival of the Smoke Dragon to Naropa in the Year of the Dragon! And please invite your friends as well!
As an additional perk, the installation will coincide with the opening of Sibling Revelry, which showcases the artwork of Marlow, Skye, and Steve Brooks, all longtime and acclaimed artists in different media. This exhibit is taking place in the Gallery on the main floor at Nalanda, and we’ll coordinate remarks, toasts, and general revelry in both locations!
Due to adverse weather conditions, all Naropa campuses will be closed Friday, March 15, 2024. All classes that require a physical presence on campus will be canceled. All online and low-residency programs are to meet as scheduled.
Based on the current weather forecast, the Healing with the Ancestors Talk & Breeze of Simplicity program scheduled for Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday will be held as planned.
Staff that do not work remotely or are scheduled to work on campus, can work remotely. Staff that routinely work remotely are expected to continue to do so.
As a reminder, notifications will be sent by e-mail and the LiveSafe app.
Regardless of Naropa University’s decision, if you ever believe the weather conditions are unsafe, please contact your supervisor and professors. Naropa University trusts you to make thoughtful and wise decisions based on the conditions and situation in which you find yourself in.
