This workshop is essential for anyone wanting to get involved in the ‘Back to Beginnings' process.  


The 'Back to Beginnings’ part of the process involves a two-year commitment to writing one’s life story in a particular way, followed by a choice of a birthing retreat. Exercises are given to help one understand patterns and develop compassion for oneself and others. The journey is not about sharing personal stories but is rather an individual one.

Claudia Wellnitz, currently lives in Italy, met Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche in 1991 and soon began doing Tara Rokpa Therapy. She studied for five years to become a therapist and since 2001 has held workshops in Germany, Finland, England, Belgium, and Zimbabwe. Claudia has received teachings from eminent lamas including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Kalu Rinpoche and Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche. She has studied the philosophy of Buddhism, done long retreats, and has published and translated Buddhist books.
 

Tara Rokpa Therapy was developed by Dr. Alkong Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan Lama and physician, in response to the suffering he saw Westerners faced due to the difficulties they had with their pasts. He closely guided a group of therapists, and he also drew from ancient Tibetan medicine to develop the therapy which includes healing relaxations, free expressive painting and intuitive, compassionate massage to oneself or others. There is no need to participate in any activities that may make you feel uncomfortable.
