Healing the World, Healing Ourselves: A Five Elements Training Program with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is offering a new three-year training program in 2026: Healing the World, Healing Ourselves: The Five Elements and the Living Universe. This groundbreaking program will combine in-person retreats and online teachings, guiding participants through the study, reflection, meditation, and practice of the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—at their physical, energetic, and innermost levels.
• Year One will focus on healing our relationship with the natural world. Participants will learn rituals to honor the elements, restore balance in the environment, and harmonize the elements within themselves. This year also includes the practice of working with the elemental goddesses (khandro).
• Year Two will emphasize the energetic dimensions of the elements.
• Year Three will explore the profound perspective of dzogchen, opening the way to the deepest realization of the elements.
Those who complete all three years and a final examination will be eligible for certification to share these practices with others, extending the benefits of this training into their communities.
We warmly invite you to be part of this new program and to embark on a transformative journey of healing and discovery with Rinpoche in the year ahead.
