Soul Retrieval through Spiritual Practice & Ritual
A Soul Retrieval Training Program in the Yungdrung Bon Tradition
Ligmincha is pleased to offer a new training program in Soul Retrieval at Serenity Ridge beginning in October, 2025. The Soul Retrieval training program will be taught by Lama Kalsang Nyima, resident lama of Mexico, assisted by Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar.
This an opportunity not only to deeply commit to one's personal healing and transformation, but an opportunity to benefit others. Students who successfully complete this two-year program will be able to do this ritual and practice for themselves. Those who pursue the certification track and pass the final examination will also receive authorization to perform the ritual and practice on behalf of others.
Soul retrieval is one of the most powerful methods for restoring vitality, joy, and spiritual harmony. When we experience trauma, shock, or prolonged emotional pain, parts of our la - the soul's vital essence - can become lost, damaged or stolen. The practice of Soul Retrieval, La Lu, offers a way to compassionately call these aspects home and integrate them for healing at every level.
Drawing from the rich, ancient Yungdrung Bon tradition - the oldest spiritual tradition of Tibet - this two-year program offers a grounded, accessible path into the practice of Soul Retrieval. These teachings and practices offer powerful tools to those who feel called to help restore themselves and others to wholeness by working with the subtle energies of the soul. Join us for this special training program!
You'll be guided step by step through traditional soul retrieval techniques that have been used for centuries in Tibet and Nepal to help people heal from trauma, reconnect with their vitality, recover from illness and rediscover the power of living fully.
No prior experience with Tibetan practices is required - just an open heart and curious mind.
