OŚRODEK TU I TERAZ / WARSZTATY / May 2017 / 30.05.17 - 04.06.17

The Kapala Training we will practice a method of “feeding and transforming your demons” elaborated by Lama Tsultrim Allione, the author of well known books “ Feeding your demons” and “Women of wisdom”.

While talking about “demons , we mean our fears, inner conflicts, difficult emotions, dependence. We continuously struggle with them and they never disappear. When you cut one monster head, there are always two new heads growing back.

With this method, one´s own “shadows” or “demons” are no longer viewed as something that has to be destroyed or battled, but they are nurtured and accepted with compassion. By doing so we develop our own potential to integrate our “shadow” instead of suppressing it.

In this training you will learn a five-step practice of feeding and transforming your demons as it was developed by Lama Tsültrim Allione. This method is a modern variation of the ancient practice of “Chöd”, based on the Prajna Paramita teachings and taught by Machig Labdrön. The principles of “Feeding Your Demons” are taught in a way that are more accessible to western people than the sometimes very complex practices of traditional Tibetan Buddhism.

The main practice of the Kapala Training 1 will be the Prajna Paramita meditation. This meditation has its origin in one of the most essential and profound Buddhist teachings. It allows insight into the eternal Ground of Being out of which everything originates. It is like the space that pervades everything and has no boundary. It is the natural clarity of our mind (Prajna), also termed “mother of all  Buddhas” or “womb of all Buddhas”.

This Training offers an opportunity to work intensively with one´s own inner demons. For those working in healthcare professions it is also the first step for a certificate in order to be able to apply this method for their healing work with clients.

The retreat language will be English with a Polish translation.
