Online & In Person
The Forum strives to create a space for an international community of health and care providers to share and learn the latest ways of practicing Sowa Rigpa and Mental Health.
This is the FIRST GLOBAL GATHERING of Sowa Rigpa Communities after the world pandemic. We eagerly await your participation and share a memorable summer in Viljandi, Estonia.
DAY 1 : MENTAL HEALTH
The embedded Buddhist care ethics within Sowa Rigpa have been a keen interest for health and care providers, particularly concerning the body-mind schemes to improve mental well-being.
Our key speakers in the fields of Sowa Rigpa, psychiatry, psychology, and Medical anthropology, will share their insights to help listeners create a richer approach to creative (self)care solutions. After a 30-minute presentation from four speakers, a 1-hour panel discussion will be followed to deepen the dialogue, where an audience of both in-person and online will have the chance to join the discussion.
We aim for a lively verbal interaction for the morning session and Sowa Rigpa home therapy workshop with guidance is offered during the afternoon session after three speakers and panel discussions.
The first day should open multiple doors for participants to explore furthermore about mental health care, prevention, and solutions. By 10th April, we will announce the final program.
DAY 2 : DREAMS & MEDICINAL PLANTS
In the morning session, four distinguished Keynote speakers will present various schools and traditions that approach dream studies, paving the way for an engaging panel discussion to explore innovative methods for connecting with dreams and sleep. Understanding dream studies within the context of health and care involves navigating both subjective and objective dimensions, reflecting the intricate nature of human well-being beyond anthropocentric paradigms.
During the afternoon session, another esteemed team of Keynote speakers will delve into the therapeutic benefits of medicinal plants and ancient formulas from Sowa Rigpa for enhancing mental well-being and improving sleep quality. Furthermore, the day will conclude with a 90-minute workshop focused on Sowa Rigpa external therapy techniques designed to promote deep relaxation of the nervous system and facilitate restful sleep.
It is essential to foster a safe and inclusive environment for discussing the pivotal role of dreams and dream studies in promoting both physical and mental well-being, and fostering collective learning and understanding.
