Introduction to the Healing Science of Tibetan Medicine

June 14 - June 16, 2019

Eric Rosenbush

Join us for an introduction to Tibetan medicine, an unbroken lineage passed down over centuries by great healers in Tibet and the Himalayas.  This weekend immersion will introduce the fundamentals of Tibetan medicine and how its wisdom can be applied in your life.
The essential principles of Sowa Rigpa, the Tibetan Science of Healing, are depicted as trees growing in the Medicine Buddha's mandala garden.  We will explore the Medicine Buddha’s mandala and the trees images of the Root Tantra, which capture the essence of the medical system in a concise yet profound way.
Topics will include:
• Connections between Buddhism, tantra and medicine
• Essential Tibetan cosmology & the five elements
• Tanaduk - a tour through the Medicine Buddha’s mandala garden, and how to understand the functions of all types of medicinal plants
• Understanding the forces that create health and disease, and how to stay in balance according to your constitution.
• Basic principles of how to use diet, lifestyles, external therapies, medicines and mantras to maintain health.
• Tibetan yogic practices for the body, speech, and mind.
• Exploration of the meanings within Menla Mountain’s collection of Tibetan medical art
 All will benefit from this weekend. Whether medical practitioners or the general public, all are welcome and will learn new contexts of how to approach health and healing. There will also be time to receive Tibetan medical consultations onsite at our Dewa Spa.

UPCOMING EVENTS

MENLA RETREATS

“This is a beautiful retreat center complete with spa nestled in the lush green countryside of the Catskills. Peace and tranquility are the first to greet you upon arriving at Menla. The staff is warm, professional, and helpful. I have had a couple of massages with hot rocks by a very competent and knowledgeable massage therapist. He is the BEST I have ever had, and I highly recommend going to DEWA Spa at Menla”

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”

Reina de Beer

“A getaway you will treasure! Fresh air, silence, mountains, streams, mossy stones, pond, and trails. A break from the outside world. The staff is extra friendly, personable, and helpful. The food is grown on-site, fresh, and amazing. The accommodations are nice, clean, with diverse options. The perfect retreat location–go to Menla whenever you get the chance!”
