Educational Program for Tibetans
IATTM Offers Special Courses and Seminars for Tibetans, In the West

Why Specifically for Tibetans?

It is important that Tibetan people live with their own cultural heritage in the West.

Alternative Medicine and Natural Health-care are increasing in importance and popularity as people in the modern world are becoming more health-conscious. There is a growing interest in Traditional Tibetan Medicine. This is an excellent opportunity for TTM to meet the needs of the Western world.

Despite the fact that many Tibetans have wonderful capabilities and a great capacity for creating a life of their own, unfortunately they may be unable to follow a professional health-care career within their own culture.

Although TTM in its entirety has not yet gained official recognition in many Western countries, certain important aspects of TTM - such as Ku Nye Tibetan massage – are skills that can be readily acquired and put into clinical practice. Health-care centres, massage-therapy clinics, cosmetic treatment centres, Spas and hotels are examples of venues where Ku Nye Tibetan massage could be practised and integrated.

Therefore, an education in Ku Nye Tibetan massage and related physical therapies, can provide the opportunity for dedicated and enterprising Tibetans to create a career in the health-care industry.

The IATTM is dependent upon the income generated by courses in order to meet costs. However, as this particular project is aimed specifically for Tibetans, a 50% discount off all course fees is offered to Tibetan students. For the IATTM it is a great honour to have Tibetans study with us, in order enable Tibetans to once again reclaim their own culture.

Healing and Wellbeing Retreat
Longevity and Rejuventation – The Tibetan Detox
(Tib. bChud Len dang rGaspa gSoba)

This is a 7-day course based on the teachings which Tibet’s greatest saint, Guru Padmasambhava, transmitted to his female disciple, Yeshe Tsogyal.

These are simple non-ritual practices that can be performed by anybody.

The course is presented in residential setting. Each day, a special herbal pill is taken; these pills are based on a formula of juniper. Daily activities include a form of gentle yoga and breathing exercises.

This practice prevents aging, gently cleanses the blood and digestive system, and therefore helps prevent chronic disease and increases energy levels.
