About Mystic Mongolia
Mystic Mongolia is inspired by Mongolian art, culture and nomadic way of life. We specialize in the traditional Buddhist fine art of Mongolia. and have extended experience in working with European countries.

Objective of the project
Our project seeks to assist Mongolia’s cultural, artistic and spiritual revival in three ways - by supplying monasteries with Buddhist statues in the Mongolian traditional style; by recovering lost techniques of Mongolian bronze casting; and by training young artists of nomad background. The senior artists in the project will consult with local Mongolian monasteries for the religious statues they need but which they cannot afford. They will create these statues and in so doing they will recover the techniques of Mongolian bronze casting developed to a high point in the 17th century by the great lama and artist Zanabazar, but lost in the modern era. The project will also train talented young people from nomad families to make religious artworks in the traditional style, by holding summer camps for young artists. The young people trained in these summer camps will then return to their communities and use the skills they have acquired in their local areas

Mongolia is a relatively poor country, even though it is rich in natural beauty and possesses a complex and varied culture – fully its own, but influenced by the traditions of Tibet, China and Eurasia as a whole. Our collective is a non-profit organization run by Mongolians for Mongolians. It seeks donations to fund the casting of statues for monasteries and for the training of the young nomad artists. It invites donors from overseas to be directly involved in assisting the commissions of statues from local Mongolian monasteries, especially those in poorer areas, and to meet the artists whom they have trained. Small amounts of money from western countries can make a huge difference in Mongolia. In building the skills and self respect of young Mongolians we aim to contribute to the cultural and spiritual health not only of Mongolia, but of humanity as a whole.

Our cultural tour will give a unique opportunity for anyone who wishes to experience Mongolian Buddhistic and Shamanistic culture and the nomadic way of life. It is an adventure with an inner challenge.

The tour is organized by Buddhist practitioners who specialize in the traditional Buddhist fine art of Mongolia in the last fifteen years, and are involved creating protective deity statues for the Mongolian monasteries which have reopened since 1990. The leader of Mystic Mongolia has extended experience of working with European countries.
