Rob Preece

Rob Preece has studied Tibetan Buddhism for many decades under the guidance of great teachers and holds a degree in psychology. During this time he has written four ground-breaking books on the meaningful chemistry between Jungian psychology and Tibetan (tantric) Buddhism: The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra, The Courage to Feel, The Wisdom of Imperfection and Preparing for Tantra. Rob’s style of teaching is oriented towards opening a dialogue around the material that is being explored. This is to maintain a spirit of exploration and creativity in the way tantra is integrated into Western experience, rather than holding to rigid prescriptions of practice.

Awakening the energy body

During this retreat we will shift attention to developing awareness of the energy body, introducing the processes of healing and purification and the significance of working with exercises such as Kum Nye, five Tibetan yogas and movement. We will explore the nature of the chakras and their function and the relationship to the elements of nature. We will look at the kind of energy problems that can arise in the body because of our emotional life or through meditation, and how they can be healed. We will explore the role of an alchemical vessel in the process of transformation and healing. The practice of the spiritual archetype or deity Vajrasattva will be introduced as a basis for healing.

Learning objectives:

• Increase sensitivity and awareness of the nature of the energy-wind body and how it moves within us
• Learn ways of being with energetic processes that emerge in meditation
• Gain a deeper experience of the processes of healing and purification and how they can be applied in practice
• Begin a relationship to the spiritual archetype (deity) Vajrasattva as the root of healing and transformation
