We have just completed another cycle of our Kunye Massage & External Therapies 3-Level Educational Program. This in-person training at the beautiful Dzamling Gar allowed students to gain hands-on experience in Tibetan therapeutic practices while also learning in a very close and personalized way with our beloved team: our director, Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo, and teachers Irina Pankevich and Medegma Budaeva.

Coming Home to Tashigar North

I can only encourage all those who are thinking about coming to the events here, from December 2023 to March 2024, to do so. Tashigar Norte is a very special place, filled with the warmth of its people, the Caribbean joy of life and, of course, the spirit of Rinpoche.
