Join us for this online workshop with London’s College of Psychic Studies - exploring the profound and revolutionary Tibetan Science of Healing, including its cosmopolitan roots and unique intersectional approach to personal, social, and ecological health.
Traditional Tibetan Medicine, or Sowa Rigpa (the Science of Healing), is likely the world’s oldest unbroken medical lineage, with roots reaching back into ancient pre-Buddhist Tibet and diverse classical Eurasian healing traditions. The modern model of Tibetan Medicine has its foundations in the teachings of Yuthok Yönten Gönpo, the great 12th century yogi-physician, though perpetual developments and modernizations over the centuries have produced a uniquely robust and comprehensive healing system.
Tibetan Medicine is a remarkably sophisticated healing science, intricately weaving the highly potent Himalayan materia medica with traditional diagnostics, nutrition, and personalized typology. It is a truly holistic medical discipline, seeking to identify the physiological, psychological, and energetic causes of disease, without falling into the conventional traps of fad-based alternative therapies. With over a thousand years of research and refinement, Sowa Rigpa offers one of the most efficacious healing modalities found in the world today.
