Wisdom in Healing workshop

Deer Park recently had 35 to 40 people attend the Wisdom in Healing workshop. Participants included 6 students, 3 lecturers and 3 Tibetan doctors from the Tibetan Medical College (Men-Tsee-Khang) in Dharamasala. This was Deer Park’s first attempt to present an introductory workshop on the 3 major healing systems in Asia: Chinese, Tibetan and Ayurveda. The workshop included lectures on the fundamental principles of each system, hands-on demonstration of acupressure based on Chinese acupuncture meridians, Tibetan cupping techniques and Ayurvedic herbal formulas in daily usage.

Participants applauded Deer Park as a suitable and supportive venue for conducting such workshops and expressed enthusiasm for future workshops of this nature.

The workshop ended with a Medicine Buddha prayer chanted by the Tibetan Medical College participants, which filled the room with positive healing energy. May all beings be free of suffering!
