Interactive Online Certificate Program 2022-2024

Picture
Kunde Institute launches the 3rd cohort for the 200 hours of Self-Care & Self-Healing Certification Program through the Discover Tibetan Medicine Series. It is an online course offered on a live zoom platform with our experienced international Tibetan Medical teachers and clinicians. The program starts September 2022, occurs monthly and is designed to be completed by February 2024. 

The certificate program focuses on exploring the preventive aspects of holistic Tibetan Medicine by teaching the benefits of self-care and self-healing to individuals. This course is designed for those who are interested in and care for family members, essential health care providers, medical doctors, Nurses, Therapists, Licensed Acupuncturists, and others. These healing modalities are offered to be integrated into a person’s daily life to promote one’s physical and mental health during and after the pandemic era, as well as to enhance delivery of patient’s care. 

The 200 hours of the certificate program are divided into two parts: 100 hours of the Foundation course and 100 hours of two specialty courses:
  • Personalized Care(50 hours) includes Food, Diet, Nutrition, and Lifestyle 
  • Mind & Spirituality(50 hours) includes Buddhism, Meditation, Medicine Buddha Mantra, Tibetan astrology, and end-of-life care (comfort) care
                                                         
Students will receive an overview of Tibetan Medicine through the study of the Root Tantra  and some of  the subsequent Tantras which are core text books for Tibetan Medicine along with easy, applicable self-care healing tips from Gyushi and guided by experienced clinical Tibetan doctors.  
After completing the 200 hours of the certificate program, students will be able to recognize signs and symptoms of imbalances of the five elements or three Nyepas as well as applying self-care and self-healing tips and techniques to bring homeostasis to the mind-body.
