We all have our own style and our own particular nature. We can’t avoid it.
The  enlightened expression of yourself is in accord with your inherent nature.
— Chögyam  Trungpa Rinpoche

           
Join us to Explore the Yogic Practice of the Five Wisdom Energies


The Five Wisdom Energies—also known as the Five Buddha Families—shape how we experience the world, how we relate to others, and how we express our inherent nature.
 
They are presence, clarity, richness, passion, and activity with an infinity of combinations making us all a unique blend. When they manifest as wisdom, they bring brilliance, intelligence, and effectiveness. When confused, they can lead to patterns of struggle and imbalance.

In this program, we explore the Five Wisdom postures, developed by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and rooted in the teachings of Tantric Buddhism. Practiced with colored glasses, these postures activate our subtle energetic body connecting us to the dynamic patterns of energy that shape us. The practice deepens our understanding of how these energies influence our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. They are at play in both our inner and outer worlds.

Through gentleness and self-acceptance, the practice uncovers unconditional confidence and a tender heart. It reveals the brilliance and challenges within our unique energetic makeup, offering insights into how we move through life. By aligning with the best of who we are, we reduce stress, build emotional resilience, and cultivate balance and integration. They help us navigate relationships, understand personal and professional dynamics, and live authentically.

This program combines meditation, posture practice, creative expression, personal reflection, and community discussion. Open to both newcomers and experienced practitioners, the program provides a grounded and accessible way to explore the Five Wisdoms.
Join us to work with the energies that shape your life and uncover the clarity, compassion, and potential already within you.
