Workshop Series: Tibetan Self-Healing Techniques

LIVE ONLINE ~ 13th, 20th and 27th JULY 2024

  10am - 1pm (AEST - Sydney Time Zone)

Tibetan self-healing techniques are a profound collection of practices rooted in the ancient wisdom of Tibetan medicine. These methods harmonize the body's energies through a blend of acupressure, yoga, energy balancing, meditation, sound and visualization. Central to these techniques is the belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and elemental energy as well as the transformative power of joy, love, compassion and equanimity. These time-honored practices offer a holistic approach to health, emphasizing prevention and self-care, and are revered for their deep healing and restorative properties. The techniques taught in this workshop are focused on general wellbeing as well as anxiety and mental health.

The workshop will be led by Pema Düddul, who is a Buddhist Chaplain,  transpersonal counsellor, the author of numerous Dharma books, and a Dharma teacher. Pema-la received training in these healing techniques from multiple masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition - such as Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, Ngakpa Karma Lhundup Rinpoche and others. He is also trained in a number of other modalities such as the Emotional Freedom Technique, Shiatsu and hypnosis.

The Zoom link and workshop resources will be emailed after registration.

The workshops will be recorded for those unable to attend live. The recordings will only be made available to registered participants.

The Path of Joy and Ease - Five Year Practice Program (Online)

Our long-term practice program is for registered participants. The five-year practice program is focused on recognizing and abiding in the natural state, which is spacious awareness alive with Bodhichitta. The program is based on the Dzogchen pith instructions of Kyabje Togden Amtrin and on the Dzogchen Semde Four Yogas. The program relies on the profound concept of natural unfolding – that by engaging in simple, essential practices all the realizations of the “higher” teachings such as Mahamudra and Dzogchen evolve naturally and effortlessly. The program has two streams:

  1. Devotion Stream – for those drawn to devotion and Guru Yoga
  2. Meditation Stream – for those drawn to the practice of joy, love and compassion

New participants can join at any time. The Five Year Program Sessions are on the first Sunday of January, March, May, July, September & November at 6pm (AEST). For more information click the button below.

The fee for this program is $15 AUD per month (which includes PA Foundation membership). If you are experiencing financial hardship and youneed a scholarship for the fees we have a number of sponsored places. Contact us if you would like to apply for one of these scholarships.
