Tibet is the type of place everyone wants to visit — and the kind of destination few of us will actually make it to. Don't worry, the Festival of Tibet offers up the next best thing. It'll either help ease the pain of not jumping on a plane, or make you book a ticket overseas as soon as you can.
Learning how to practice meditation and do yoga, all Tibetan-style, will do that of course. So will Tibetan songs, as well as a talk about the the Buddhist approach to living and dying. And there's more where that came from, with the event celebrating the resilience and optimism of a people and culture under threat, all through a showcase of the country's way of life — and for the 12th year running.
Hitting up Brisbane Powerhouse from Friday, April 17–Saturday, April 18, the 2020 festival lineup includes both ticketed and free sessions.
