Lu Jong Five Elements Retreat
About the retreat
The Five Elements form the foundation of all life. They shape our body, mind, and emotions – and play a decisive role in how healthy, balanced, and fulfilled we feel. When the elements fall out of balance, physical discomfort, emotional turbulence, and mental restlessness can arise.
In this retreat, Rinpoche will teach a range of powerful techniques – practiced individually or combined as an integrated set – to help purify and rebalance the elements:
- Five Elements Movements of the Tibetan Healing Yoga Lu Jong
- Nine Breaths Exercise
- Kum Nye Five Elements Massage
- Five Elements Relaxation Positions
- Five Elements Mindfulness-Based Meditation
While the effects of balancing the elements are often felt immediately, the path goes far beyond that. Working with the elements allows a deep purification of body and mind, supports genuine inner transformation, and opens a gateway to our true nature. Step by step, greater clarity, stability, and inner freedom can naturally unfold in everyday life.
This retreat will be held in English.

Mandali was an incredible experience in a beautiful placE
I wish I’d spent more than 3 days there and truly hope to go back in the future. The rooms were very comfortable, the teachers were lovely, the food was delicious - I have absolutely no complaints and can’t say enough good things. Mandali was well worth the trip!

I learned that silence is very treasurable

You can let go of layers, and find such a peaceful side of yourself
“Your generosity, your kindness and your warm smiles are the cherries on the cake. Being here means living life to the fullest in every single moment. You can let go of layers, and find such a peaceful side of yourself. Go silent, sit still, let it move you and take that ride.”
