The 'Back to Beginnings’ part of the process involves a two-year commitment to writing one’s life story in a particular way, followed by a choice of a birthing retreat. Exercises are given to help one understand patterns and develop compassion for oneself and others. The journey is not about sharing personal stories but is rather an individual one.

Tara Rokpa Therapy was developed by Dr. Alkong Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan Lama and physician, in response to the suffering he saw Westerners faced due to the difficulties they had with their pasts. He closely guided a group of therapists, and he also drew from ancient Tibetan medicine to develop the therapy which includes healing relaxations, free expressive painting and intuitive, compassionate massage to oneself or others. There is no need to participate in any activities that may make you feel uncomfortable.
