TIME ZONE TALLIN ( UTC +3) 10AM - 5PM

Trained in both Tibetan Buddhism and Medicine, together with the experience of traveling around the world for almost three dacades, Dr.Nida Chenagtsang has unique insights on spiritual growth and well-being.

In seven days, Dr.Nida Chenagtsang plans to guide you to explore the profound wisdom of Medicinal supreme beings, experiencing a holistic blend of luminous mind and rejuvenated body.

Culminating on the final day, there will be Ngagpa ordination for commmited disciples from Dr Nida Chenagtsang, symbolising the formal induction into the Ngakpa lineage and becoming a practitioner in this special tradition from Tibet.

Nagpa ordination

Dr Nida is only ordaining students to have already followed Yuthok Nyingthig for some time, and those who aspire to set foot on the path of Yuthok Nyingthig. So essentially, it is about a decision if you aspire to complete the practices of YN, transforming your own life as the vessel of healing to help yourself and those who are around you.

Additional information

Dear participants, our local volunteer team is excited and busy working to make your stay as comfortable as we can. We might not be able to offer you a five star hotel experience, but we will do our best to adjust to your needs.

• ARRIVAL

  If you are coming from outside of Estonia, we suggest you fly a day or two prior to the training to Tallinn airport. From there you can get a bus ticket on www.tpilet.ee from Tallinn to Viljandi. Tallinn bus stop is very close to the airport.

  We will organise pick-ups from Viljandi. Detailed info will be provided to registered participants. We will assist you to get to Sowa Rigpa Väluste School house or to Vanasauna (if you booked sleeping place there).

  Please be prepared that the local transfer might cost you taxi fare if our volunteers are not free. The taxi fare could be about 25 to 30 euros. However, we will try our best to coordinate a volunteer to pick you up.

• SLEEPING

  Please note that the sleeping space at the Väluste school house is shared.

  If you have certain sleeping problems and conditions, we suggest getting a cottage at Vanasauna (www.vanasauna.ee) or hotel room in Viljandi (https://visitviljandi.ee/en/visiting/accommodation/). It will cost more but your sleep is priceless! Good sleep will secure a good experience at the teaching as well.

  Clean bed sheets and quilts/blankets are provided for those sleeping inside the Väluste school house. If we have extra, we are happy to share with those who will sleep outside in the tents. Indoor showers and some access to kitchen are accessible for both.

  October is the time where sometimes winter starts to show. Sometimes October is sunny with 15 degrees during the daytime, but it's also not uncommon to get frost and snow.

• FOOD

  We have hired a local cooking company to take care of your meals for 20 euros per person per day.

  The menu will be provided for registered people.

  Please have a look of the menu when you receive it. If you have food allergy and need special arrangement, please kindly contact the food service provider directly about it. This might apply extra cost, we will try to keep it within 20 euros, but depending on what you can eat and drink, there might be extra costs that you have to take care of.

  The nearest food shop is in Mustla, 10km from the School house. If you want personal snacks and drinks, it's possible for our volunteers to drive you there.

• LEISURE

  The sauna at Vanasauna guesthouse (www.vanasauna.ee) is right next to a beautiful lake, dipping into the lake after sauna is an unique Estonian experience. We will organise sauna events during the teaching, if possible. If you really enjoyed the sauna and wish to offer it to your peers, booking a sauna for two hours at Vanasauna costs 40 euros, every extra hour is 10 euros.

  Viljandi has beautiful landscape and walking trails for 2 to 4 hours, there is also beautiful and delicious restaurants in the county. On some of the teaching days, you will have time to go and enjoy a bit. Check information here: https://visitviljandi.ee/en/.
