  En weekendkurs med Lene Handberg
  Stockholm 26-27 oktober 2024

  Under denna kurs kommer det indo-tibetanska perspektivet på döden och döendet att introduceras. Kursen är upplevelsebaserad och deltagarna kommer att få pröva meditationer och övningar för att lära sig hantera det faktum att vi alla kommer att dö och den rädsla detta medför. Utifrån buddhistisk filosofi kan medvetenheten om döden hjälpa oss att leva vårt liv fullt ut, här och nu.

  Lene Handberg har sedan ung ålder intresserat sig för tibetansk buddhistisk meditation och kommit att ägna sitt liv åt att undervisa och sprida dess budskap. Hon är också utbildad psykolog och psykoterapeut. I början av 1990-talet träffade Lene den tibetanska laman Tarab Tulku Rinpoché. Under sina 20 år i Danmark hade han arbetat för att göra den tibetanska buddhismen tillgänglig för människor som vuxit upp i västerländsk kultur.

  Tarab Tulku och Lene byggde tillsammans upp Tarab Institute och utbildningen Unity in Duality. Det är en utbildning i tibetansk buddhism där stort fokus sätts på den moderna människans behov att återknyta kontakten med sig själv, andra människor och naturen. Efter Tarab Tulkus bortgång 2004 har Lene fortsatt deras gemensamma arbete. Den fyraåriga utbildningen finns nu i sex länder, däribland Indien. Dessutom hålls kortare kurser och retreater med en rad olika teman. En av dessa kurser är Death and Dying – A Key To Creation.

  Döden ses, inom indo-tibetansk kultur, inte som det absoluta slutet på livet. Du behöver dock inte dela denna trosuppfattning för att gå den här kursen. Kursen vänder sig till alla som är intresserade av att förstå hur vårt förhållningssätt till döden påverkar hur vi känner oss i det liv vi lever idag. Den riktar sig både till dig som praktiserat buddhism en längre tid och till dig som är helt ny inom detta område.

  Death And Dying – A Key To Creation

  A weekendcourse with Lene Handberg
  Stockholm 26-27 oktober 2024

  During this course the Indo-Tibetan perspective on death and dying will be introduced. The course is experiential and participants will try meditations and exercises to learn to deal with the fact that we will all die and the fear this entails. Based on Buddhist philosophy, the awareness of death can help us live our lives fully, here and now.

  Lene Handberg has been interested in Tibetan Buddhist meditation since a young age and has come to dedicate her life to teaching and spreading its message. She is also a trained psychologist and psychotherapist. In the early 1990s, Lene met the Tibetan lama Tarab Tulku Rinpoché. During his 20 years in Denmark, he had worked to make Tibetan Buddhism accessible to people raised in Western culture.

  Tarab Tulku and Lene built up the Tarab Institute and the training Unity in Duality together. It is an education in Tibetan Buddhism where great focus is placed on modern man’s need to reconnect with himself, other people and nature. After Tarab Tulkus’ death in 2004, Lene has continued their joint work. The four-year education is now available in six countries, including India. In addition, shorter courses and retreats are held with a range of different themes. One of these courses is Death and Dying – A Key To Creation.

  In Indo-Tibetan culture, life, our birth and death, and everything in between is seen as a natural process of change. By being aware that we are in this process at every moment, we can feel a stronger presence and sense of life. It starts from an acceptance of the circumstances of all human life – that we will all die one day and that we consciously or unconsciously relate to this.

  Tarab Tulku believed that the fear and taboos surrounding death built up in our culture are a contributing factor to our difficulties in being in touch with ourselves in the present. In this weekend course, it will be offered the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level through meditations and exercises, with death and dying as a theme. By confronting and learning to deal with our own fear of death, we can also become better at supporting people who are dying or have lost a loved one.

  Death, in Indo-Tibetan culture, is not seen as the absolute end of life. However, you do not have to share this belief to take this course. The course is aimed at anyone who is interested in understanding how our approach to death affects how we feel in the life we live today. It is aimed both at those who have practiced Buddhism for a long time and at those who are completely new to this field.

  Pre announcement International Retreat ‘Unity in Duality’ July 2 to 6 20242024-01-23

  For all senior students who
  -are in the process of becoming,
  -have finished the formal training and are considering to become,
  -already are,
  graduate in Unity in Duality (STM)

  After the success of our retreat in Vallcebre last year, we are happy to announce that we have planned again such a retreat for this year. The aim of the retreat is again to create the opportunity to strengthen your individual practice and condition, to support people in the process of becoming a graduate and most of all to further build on our international community, which we consider as of the utmost importance for the continuation and flourishing of UD in the coming years.
  The past two years we all have greatly enjoyed the meditations, the discussions with Lene to clarify deeply some key-concepts of UD, the undisturbed time to write from this meditative base, the supportive sessions and the evenings of exchange. Hence we are mostly sticking to this formula and hope it will be of use for the individual processes of all.
  We are organizing this retreat for all senior students and graduates, who: are looking to deepen their personal process, or are considering (not necessarily having decided) to make their final paper and go for the international exam, are in the process of tentatively putting some words on paper, are writing a paper, are writing their cases, have made the examination but still need to send in their cases, etc. We hope that by this retreat these processes will be furthered and become more of a shared effort.

  During this six days retreat, we will be having instruction, investigative meditation and exchange in the early morning, time for individual practice after that. Those who wish can continue this individual practice or one can take time to reflect on their individual process to start writing or continue writing in the afternoon. There will again be the opportunity to take sessions and individual tutoring with graduates and join the tutorclasses at the end of the afternoon. Some evenings are reserved for the exchange on how UD is changing our personal and professional life.
  In this way, we hope to encourage and practically support each other in this individual process of becoming a graduate. Again, it is not necessary to have decided to go for the writing of a paper, wanting to get a taste of this process or to investigate whether this would suit you is a good motivation to join. For those who are in the process of writing, this would be a wonderful opportunity to completely immerse in the material and write from your deeper base.

  

  Location

  The retreat will be from Tuesday morning July 2rd to Saturday the 6th. So travel days are Monday July 1 and Sunday July 7. It will be organised at the Prieure of Marcevol at the south of France.
  Nearby the international trainstation and airport of Perpignan.
  For a small group of people there is the opportunity to bring a tent and camp in the yard, enjoying the view on the mountains. For those who do not know the Prieure and its surroundings: there is ample opportunity for hiking and enjoying the mountain scenery. And a swim in the Mediterranean or the waterfalls is also possible.

  Subscription
