Ahimsa is the Buddhist term for non-harming. The Zone of Ahimsa will be a daylong celebration comprised of three separate but related events:

3:30 to 5:30 PM Peace Empowerment/Blessing
Led by Venerable Za Choeje Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Emaho Foundation. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, an empowerment is a ritual which grants the participant permission to practice specific forms of meditation. This very special Peace Empowerment is non-denominational, open to everyone and aimed at awakening latent seeds of compassion in all who take part in this illuminating and inspiring ceremony.



5:30 to 7:30 PM Tibetan Bazaar
The Emaho Peace Store will offer traditional Tibetan art, handicrafts, jewelry and other items of beauty and devotion for sale—just in time for Holiday gift giving. There will be music, informative presentations, food and fun.
This event is free to all.


7:30 to 9:30 PM Wish Fulfilling Jewel Concert
Musical artists from various spiritual traditions offer songs of peace.

Burning Sky Grammy
nominated Native American duo. Kelvin Mockingbird’s masterful flute playing possesses a meditative quality and an uncanny ability to evoke the sounds of nature. Aaron White’s acoustic guitar virtuosity compliments Kelvin’s flute beautifully, conjuring expansive Southwest vistas.

Sat Kartar Khalsa
Spirit Voyage recording artist and noted singer in the Sikh tradition, Sat Kartar is praised in Yoga Journal magazine for her “crystalline voice...an instrument imbued with a welcoming, almost maternal warmth and an evocative style of phrasing.”

Pranav Mehta
An inspired interpreter of Indian classical music’s rich vocal traditions, Pranv will offer a selection of bhajans, timeless Hindu devotional songs from his recent Canyon Records album Cosmic Dawn.
