The Tibetan Monks of Drepung Gomang Monastery are returning in November 2024 to share Tibetan Buddhist culture and practices and to promote compassion. This five-day visit is part of a national tour organized by the U.S.-based Drepung Gomang Center for Engaging Compassion. The tour aims to raise funds to support and sustain the 2,000 monks living and studying at Drepung Gomang Monastery in Karnataka State, South India.
During their time at the Mariposa, the monks will create a sand mandala, sell crafts, and offer private pujas and blessings for community members. Visitors are invited to observe the monks as they create the intricate sand mandala, starting each day with an opening ceremony. Join us for this enriching cultural experience!

Windborne Returns!
November 23rd, 7:30 PM
Unitarian Universalist Church (25 Main Street Peterborough)
Windborne’s campaign for their upcoming album “To Warm the Winter Hearth” smashed records and became the 5th most-backed album crowdfunder of all time! Now Windborne is bringing a full show of their favorite songs of the season to stages around the country!
A joyful and heartfelt celebration of song, Windborne’s lush vocals and unique arrangements bring light to a dark time, as they draw on midwinter music from traditional, classical, and folk from the US, British isles and beyond. Unique from their typical show, the holiday spirit is accentuated with added instrumentation, from banjos and guitars, to Lithuanian Kanklės, and Irish bodhran.
With Windborne as their guide across continents and centuries, audiences will be delighted by holiday stories, songs, and humor in an evening that is sure to become a holiday tradition for the whole family! Sing along with familiar favorites, enjoy new twists on old classics or sit back and enjoy discovering new favorites, but make sure you don’t miss Windborne’s Music of Midwinter!
This program will take place across the street from the Mariposa at the Unitarian Universalist Church (25 Main Street Peterborough).
Admission: $25 for members & non-members
