  • Traditional Tibetan medicine, known as Sowa Rigpa is one of the most ancient sciences being used for thousands of years. On the one hand, it relies on indigenous Himalayan knowledge and on the other hand, it includes a systematic syncretism that allows it to interact with all other medical traditions, even with modern day science. As health affects us all, it’s good to have some understanding of how to preserve balance and how to manage a disorder when it arises, and to be able to restore good health. In this talk we speak with Katy Otero who is a practitioner of Traditional Tibetan Medicine who studies with Dr Nida Chenagtsang in Europe.

  • In strong and shaky times, where everything is changing extremely rapidly, we recognise it’s essential that we gain a greater understanding of the purpose and potential of our personal and collective evolution. There are very few singular spiritual paths or concepts able to bring a full spectrum wisdom and clarity to give us direction and confidence that everything is going to be OKAY and something totally extraordinary is unfolding. Imagine, that in ‘ reality’ as uncomfortable as things may seem we are being prepared for a Golden Age. This is a huge thing, and is very real. So here is a question for you
What do you understand The Golden Age to actually be?


    This is an invitation to receive the blessing of blessings that will help you rest in Natural Great Peace from the exhausted mind beaten helplessly by karma and neurotic thoughts.


    Rinpoche as he is fondly known, is an adept on teaching the Kalachakra System in a really special vivid way that we can have a deeper understanding of the reality of Shambhala and how vast amounts of Beings attained Buddhahood and live in a perfected state that is in fact our primordial innate nature.
