FULL MOON DREAM TEMPLE with Micah SheineR & FRIENDS
overnight restorative journey
SATURDAY, September 6th - Sunday, September 7th
sound bath | La བླ lunar therapy | acupuncture | dream butter & tea
Join us for a Full Moon rejuvenation weekend to connect with the healing power of the dreamtime! In the natural environment of Pure Land Farms and the beautiful Yuthok Ling temple, explore the world of dreaming at all levels:
Body: Rejuvenate the physical body with a seasonal vegetarian meal; acupuncture, sound healing, & deep overnight rest
Speech: Empower the subtle body through the power of Mantra (chanting La བླ Sanskrit and Tibetan syllables) ~ harnessing the energy of the full moon
Mind: Relax, balance, & open the mind through dream butter/tea and dream yoga visualization ~ opening to insights from the Medicine Buddha and Yuthok healing lineage
This special full moon meditation and dream journey includes elements from the Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medical) tradition to restore lost life force, and rejuvenate body, energy, and mind by resonating sacred syllables from the Sanskrit and Tibetan alphabet that flow through the body according to the lunar cycle.
Meditate in the beautiful Yuthok Ling temple, guided into a resonant field of Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, bells, gentle percussion, & toning. Experience how vibration can create a natural still point, inviting one’s awareness to settle into peace & silence. Relax and receive insight from sound as it guides us to release old patterns & rejuvenate!
“La” energy is a vital protective energy that pervades and constitutes our human body. Closely connected with our consciousness, it gives strength,་vigor, stability, a bright complexion, clarity, bliss, sensitivity, and satisfaction. This energy circulates in our body according to the lunar cycle. Due to chronic disease, emotional or physical trauma, and aggressive medical treatments, we can lose this energy resulting in various symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, and anxiety.
La བླ lunar therapy is one of the subtle energetic treatments from the Tibetan Medical tradition used to restore lost “la” through the application of oil and gentle touch of specific points, along with the visualization and chanting of potent seed syllables.
