The Kalachakra Sand Mandala

Samten has special permission from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, to create this intricate, multi-hued mandala, known as The Wheel of Time. He will be working on the mandala from about 10am to 5pm Tuesdays to Sundays until March 1, taking time during the day to discuss the project with interested parties.

Chico Performances: Leahy
The eight performers of Leahy all have
two things in common: they all have the
last name Leahy, and they are all musical
dynamos. From Celtic to country to classical
and pop, these eight siblings are a whirlwind
of fiddle-driven music, dance, percussion, keyboards,
and vocals that leave audiences breathless. Their music
combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots,
and their storytelling provides a glimpse into their
Nova Scotia family roots. Laxson Auditorium, 7:30pm.
