The Way of Tara RokpaFacilitated by: Annie DibbleAkong Rinpoche spent many years developing a method of mind training using Buddhist principles, which he wanted to be accessible to people who aren’t attracted to formal Dharma practices, but who never the less recognise that their way of engaging with society, as well as their interactions with others and the environment could be developed more beneficially. When followed with care, Akong Rinpoche felt the way of Tara Rokpa could help individuals develop maturity of mind and engage in their world more compassionately. Over the weekend we will take an overview of the Tara Rokpa programme, and explore some of the methods taught by Rinpoche that form the heart of the Tara Rokpa Process. Please wear loose comfortable clothing, and bring a yoga or camping mat if you have one. Bookings for this course will open from 10th April 2024, when you will be able to book your place on the course and also guest accommodation by sending an email to bookings@samyeling.org Register for this course through the Samye LIng Website |

Exploring the Five ElementsFacilitated by: Ani PaldenThis experiential course will investigate the Five Elements, which make up the Universe and our own bodies. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. There is great value in exploring and coming to understand the Elements in our complete environment; especially their interconnection with ourselves at a physical, emotional and mental level. Through exploration we will see how the Five Elements are constantly ‘at play’, continually moving and changing to find the natural balance that is essential for our health and wellbeing. The course will incorporate the use of art materials for simple free painting and drawing to aid relaxation. There will be specific guided contemplations on the elements, using visualisations for a deeper inner enquiry and self healing relaxation. Please bring a few simple art materials, such as paper, water colours/ paints or crayons. Comfortable warm clothing is good to bring and something to lie down on, such as a yoga mat/ roll. We will make good use of the beautiful Holy Isle landscape to explore the Elements!

In Harmony with The EarthFacilitated by: The International Therapist TeamThe 26th German Summer Camp (in the German and English language) Harmony with our Earth, with others, and within ourselves currently seems farther away than ever. But if we understand harmony as a dynamic balance, which we have to recreate again and again, we will not feel so helpless any more. Then there is always something to do! Akong Rinpoche called this “coordination”. The art of coordinating ourselves with our surroundings in a way that achieves the best outcome for everybody. This is the core of Tara Rokpa work. We start with learning to better understand ourselves and our inner dynamics, and then increase flexibility and balance more and more. A central metaphor for this are the Five Elements: In us, in others, in the world. The summer camp will use this understanding on different levels.
