In the current edition of the course, Dr. Phuntsog will emphasize mainly on menopause and its effects on women's bodies. Dr. Phuntsog will explain all the different stages of the life of women, especially focusing on important aspects that can keep women healthy. Therefore, at all stages of a woman's life, it is very important to take care of her health.⁠ In Tibetan culture, a woman's physical and mental health is considered the key to the strength and well-being of future generations; therefore, a system of methods has been developed in Tibetan medicine aimed at strengthening women's health from childhood to menopause. The solar energy of a woman warms and nourishes the whole family, making possible the normal functioning of all members of society.

I was so fortunate to meet the great Tibetan Master Namkhai Norbu 10 years ago. Everything I know about spirituality, awareness, and the nature of the world I learned from him. Among many precious teachings, He was also giving advice and methods for parents and children, based on traditional Tibetan medicine and Tibetan yoga. This is one of a kind opportunity to learn form the dedicated students of Rinpoche and experts in the fields of Tibetan Yantra Yoga and traditional Tibetan medicine. Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo and Laura Evangelisti share timeless wisdom that you will not find elsewhere. I will definitely be there to learn.
