During the breaks there will be an opportunity to receive private healing sessions in our clinic and immerse yourselves in the healing energy of our Tanaduk Gardens, modeled after the Pure Land of the Medicine Buddha.

Nutritious meals will be cooked according to Sowa Rigpa medicinal principles.

Teachings are based on the instructions of Yuthok Yönten Gönpo, the father of Tibetan Medicine, from the Gyudzhi Four Medical Tantras, and Dr. Nida's personal experience as a Tibetan physician and meditation teacher.

No prior background in Tibetan Medicine is required to attend this course.
