Colloquial Tibetan is the language spoken daily in Tibet, whereas Classical Tibetan is the language of the Dharma Scriptures. Students of Tibetan Buddhism who wish to enhance their knowledge and understand native Tibetan teachings will find it helpful to understand both forms of the language.

This course will build on the foundation of Colloquial Tibetan I. The emphasis will again be on the spoken language, with new grammar and vocabulary addded each week. Whether you want to understand native Tibetan Dharma teachings or chat with Tibetans over a butter tea, this is the perfect course!

The textbook for the course will be the Manual of Standard Tibetan (Tournadre & Dorje, 2003). Those who did not attend Colloquial Tibetan I should familiarise themselves with all material up to lesson 5 in the manual.

Adele Tomlin has studied Tibetan intensively in India and Nepal and has worked as a translator at the Library of Tibetan Works & Archives in Dharamsala.

Lucid Dreaming can be of both spiritual and psychological benefit. This weekend will explore the techniques, practice and benefits of lucid dreaming from both the western and the Tibetan Buddhist traditions. In addition to learning how to dream lucidly, there will also be an overview of the history and science of lucid dreaming. The course will also cover shadow integration techniques and offer a detailed exploration of the stages of sleep and sleep disorders.

Charlie has been teaching lucid dreaming since 2008. He has run courses and retreats in London and with Rob Nairn in South Africa. He is authorised to teach on this topic by Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche.
