Deepening Relaxation: Harmony and Healing with Kum Nye | Feb 18-23

Live in Amsterdam & online | February 18 – 23 ’25

Five day Kum Nye Intensive retreat with Ton van der Scheer, Bram Williams and Iloy Scheerhoorn

Through Kum Nye we learn to appreciate the completely wholesome quality of living experience. Through this quality the whole body becomes refreshed, as if showered within by pure spring water. Not only the physical body quickens, but the mind and all senses are invigorated as well; sense impressions and thoughts come to life. A quality of relaxation informs every activity, even walking or eating. Our lives function smoothly, and we become healthy and balanced.

From Kum Nye Relaxation p 4.

Immerse yourself in the interplay of body, breath and senses

In this five-day Kum Nye Intensive we will experientially tap into the three levels of practice, relaxation and meditation. Kum Nye will be explored with a direct emphasis on the different levels of relaxation as described by Tarthang Tulku in his three Kum Nye books.

Practices from the first Kum Nye book that stimulate the flow of feeling will be alternated by Joy of being exercises opening space within and without.
Our Kum Nye experience will then be further expressed by Kum Nye Dancing which will open you into harmony with the whole, to be complete within.

Participants are recommended to bring a notebook for personal notes and if possible, all three Kum Nye books:

• Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga ; available in Dutch and English
• The Joy of Being: available in Dutch and English
• Kum Nye Dancing: available in English

The books can be ordered through the Lotus Design Shop in Amsterdam.

This retreat is open to all but especially recommended for long -time Kum Nye practioners. Also seasoned meditators and dharma students will benefit from investigating the three levels of relaxation in their own embodiment.

As Kum Nye communicates a different aura to our experience, our deeply-held sense of identity begins to change at its core. As our thought processes slough off their characteristic anxiety, becoming more neutral, thinking no longer poses an obstacle to being”
