Pure Land Farms

The Food as Medicine: Tibetan Cooking for Your Constitution was an unforgettable afternoon and evening that included a fascinating education in the culinary traditions of Tibetan medicine and diet, a fun-filled hands-on cooking adventure that brought participants closer through laughter (another great medicine) and delightful, peaceful walks around the property. They have an extensive variety of plants and trees growing wild, and in their tended gardens, which fill the apothecary and pantry. Mason Aguilar was a fantastic tour guide, incorporating titillating anecdotes with Buddhist wisdom. The guest lecturer and chef, Lobsang Tsering, created a joy-filled day as he weaved together stories from his days as a monk and his current work as an artist, teacher, cook, and father. An invaluable experience, in many ways.

I so enjoyed the many levels and means of healing during the Dreamtime Retreat. We gathered to eat delicious and healing foods for dinner and breakfast. In the temple, we learned about Dreamtime and its many meanings while taking a lovely elixir to prepare for deep rest. We continued into Micah’s deeply healing sounds and songs while we also received community acupuncture from Bryon. After breakfast we shared our dream experiences, and Micah and Bryan used the Butterfly book to help understand them.
I have been feeling so vital and relaxed ever since.

I had such a great experience attending the full moon dream temple. The integration of Acupuncture, sound, self massage, chanting, and nourishing food created a profound experience. The grounds at Pure Land are filled with herbs, plant life, and flowers, and is surrounded by rolling hills. I highly recommend!

Meeting Lobsang Tsering was a great experience, he shared his knowledge and guided us through the Mandala experience and the Tibetan Medicine. The practice was very rich!

I had a great experience with the practice, the meditation, the grounds, is a great peaceful place where minds alike meet and share. I will return.
Highly recommended!!
