With the countdown on for our last few days in South Korea, we are incredibly honoured to announce our final collaboration with .studio Eunkyeong Bak

This time we bring to life one of Rabindranath Thakur's (Tagore) most famous poems from his Vaishnav themed collection 'Bhanusimha Thakurer Padavali'.

Video coming out very soon πŸͺ·

Last week we had the humbling experience of learning νƒœν‰λ¬΄γ…‘Taepyeongmu (Dance of Peace). A dance that wishes for the peace of one's country. Through its soft yet poised movements, it reflects the dynamics of inner stillness and careful breath work.

"Taepyeongmu is designated as one of the Important Intangible Cultural Properties of South Korea. Famous practitioners have included Han Young-suk, designated a Living National Treasure for her performances."

Thank you so much to Aisha from .studio for this incredible honour of sharing such an important part of Korean culture with us.

Dhunuchi is a ritual dance from Bengal,
performed in honor of Ma Durga.

Women dance with incense and burning charcoal,
moving through flames and smoke.

The dance symbolizes purification, devotion, and the awakening of life energy.

Ma Durga embodies nature’s force β€” creation and destruction, life and renewal.
Among goddesses, she holds a rare undivided feminine essence, integrating all aspects of the feminine.

Fire is her breath, her weapon, and her tool.
Through fire, she burns away the old, creates new life, and illuminates hope.

In this dance, we chose to awaken her flame not before an idol, but before the living fire itself.

In May, when life energy is at its peak,
we danced to awaken the fire within us,
to burn away what no longer serves us,
and to make space for new life to flow in.

As each flame gathered,
we awakened one living fire β€” Ma Durga, and life itself β€” through our dance.

May a small flame awaken within you, too.
