Practical workshops. Tibetan medicine has many methods of prevention and treatment, available for ordinary people and very effective. Teachers and instructors of SKY will tell you about these ways to help yourself and your relatives.
Education programs for Sowa Rigpastudents. During his many years spent in Western world Doctor Nida elaborated effective Sowa Rigpa, or Tibetan Medicine, adopted for modern world. Traditionally in Tibet, Mongolia, Buryatia Tibetan medicine was taught in monastic schools or by family tradition, and studies took many years of meditation, reading texts and spiritual practice. Then, as a rule, the student assisted to an experienced doctor for some years before he started his own practice. Off course, it is not acceptable by modern people. Most of us have to work, take care of our families, but we should not forget about spiritual practice and healthcare.
IATTM programs have the structure, that is common for western students, but provede possibilities for deep study of all the aspects of Tibetan medicine necessary for practice. This is the main goal of IATTM Spb. - to prepare Sowa Rigpa practitioners.
