Tibetan Dream Analysis
with Dr. Nida Chenagtsang
November 21st - 24th 2024
In-Person at Pure Land Farms with online livestream option
(Both in-person and online attendees will receive one year video access to the recorded teachings)
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In this three day workshop, Dr Nida Chenagtsang, dream yoga master and Tibetan physician offers a rare look into the world of Tibetan dream (milam རྨི་ལམ་) interpretation and how it can be used for the purpose of healing. For centuries Tibetan dream masters have been able to see the deep link between the dream world and the waking state, recognizing how dreams can give clear indications of health warnings, obstacles, and foretell events yet to happen. With this knowledge, appropriate medical or spiritual interventions can be made for the benefit of both self and other.
Dr. Nida will share traditional Tibetan medical and Buddhist methods to analyze and interpret dream language and symbols (both personal and universal), to discern between prophetic and memory-induced dreams, and to assess imbalances in the body and mind. These methods can be used to access hidden knowledge about ourselves and resolve subtle emotional and psychological blockages. For the medical practitioner or healer, it offers an additional important lens through which to understand symptoms, manifest or not yet manifest.
This workshop is focused on dream analysis (not dream yoga), however it will be informed by both the Tibetan medical teachings of Sowa Rigpa and the Vajrayana teachings of the Yuthok Nyingthig. The weekend will include both theoretical instruction with practical meditation sessions, as well as group dream work guided by Dr. Nida.
