Tibetan Medicine and Anxiety: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing

Program Start Date & Time: May 29th  |  5:30 pm

Program End Date & Time: May 31st  |  12:30 pm

In our fast-paced world, restlessness and racing minds have become all too familiar companions. Finding a sense of groundedness in the midst of it all requires deep wisdom–wisdom that has cultivated peace and wellbeing for centuries in the Himalayas.

Join us for a transformative weekend program that draws from the profound healing traditions of Tibetan Medicine to address anxiety at its roots and support the body, mind, and spirit. Tibetan medicine offers a unique holistic approach that sees anxiety not as a disorder to suppress, but as an imbalance to gently restore. This ancient system recognizes the interconnections between physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being, providing tools that create lasting change rather than temporary fixes.

What You’ll Experience:

• Ancient Foods for Modern Stress

• Discover the therapeutic power of Tibetan culinary medicine. Learn which foods and spices naturally calm the nervous system and how to prepare nourishing meals that support mental clarity and emotional balance.
• Sacred Teas & Healing Brews
 Explore traditional herbal formulations used for centuries to settle anxious minds. You’ll learn to prepare and use medicinal teas that support deep rest and nervous system restoration.
• Breath work from the Roof of the World

• Engage in time-tested breathing techniques that calm racing thoughts and bring your nervous system back into balance. These practices can be used anywhere, anytime anxiety arises.
• Meditation for the Restless Mind

• Not all meditation is the same. Discover specific contemplative practices designed for anxious temperaments—gentle yet powerful methods that work with, rather than against, an active mind.

Who this retreat is for:

• Those seeking natural approaches to anxiety management
• Anyone interested in holistic healing traditions
• People looking for sustainable daily practices
• Students of meditation and mindfulness
• Healthcare practitioners expanding their toolkit

Program Note: Wear comfortable clothes, if you need to sit with special cushions or in a chair no problem! Please bring a notebook or clipboard and pen or pencil to take notes.
