The Five Wisdom Energies, or Five Buddha families, are an integral part of Tantric Tibetan Buddhism.
 Trungpa Rinpoche created a practice using five postures and colors  to activate our subtle energetic body. In doing so he exemplified his genius in bringing  esoteric teachings to the West.

The postures invoke the five patterns of energy of our  inherent nature: spaciousness, clarity, richness, passion, and activity–with infinite  permutations. We have the potential for all the energies, have our unique personal mix, and display different energies in different areas of our lives.    

The way we  perceive and interact with our world can yield enormous insight into everything we  think, feel, say and do. By developing maitri, a sense of unconditional loving kindness,  and self acceptance we discover energetic balance, personal integration, and our  unique style of brilliance, intelligence, and effectiveness.

     During this program, we will practice the Five Wisdom postures and meditation and engage in personal process work, creative expression, talks, discussion, and community. Open to those both experienced and new to the Five Wisdoms.
