Module II begins January 21, 2026. In this eight-week intensive, Peter will guide students into the completion-stage practices of Chandali, drawing again from Rangjung Dorje’s Zabmo Nangdon (Tibetan: ཟབ་མོ་ནང་དོན), a 14th-century treatise on prana, bindu, and nadi. The course will focus on igniting the inner fire, deepening vase breathing, refining subtle body visualization, and working directly with the blazing and melting cycles of Tummo. Subsidiary yogas of day, night, and dream will be introduced, with an emphasis on integration into daily meditation practice.This module is intended for those who have completed Module I or who already have a strong foundation. This year’s cohort will extend and deepen the practices cultivated in earlier groups, carrying forward their momentum while expanding the range of postures and opening new perspectives on Chandali. The inner fire yoga opens the possibility of recognizing the illusory forms that arise in practice as expressions of emptiness, consistent with the Anu and Dzogchen view.

Module 1

Foundations

An introduction to subtle body practices that prepare for Tummo proper. Students will study the architecture of channels, winds, and essences, and train in the stability that supports inner fire yoga. We will explore the visualization of channels and chakras as the body’s mandala, and introduce methods of breath retention grounded in safety and clarity. Students will also learn to acclimate to intensity without compulsively abandoning themselves, generate vitality, challenge habitual ways of framing experience, and participate wholeheartedly in the dynamic and vivid appearance of aliveness. Digestive fire, enhanced immunity, creative power, fortified libido, and a felt sense of lightness and well-being are all earmarks of engagement with this method. By the end of the module, students will have the skills to safely continue into Module II.

Union

The module begins with introduction to the Dzogchen view and its relationship to the completion stage practice of Anuyoga. Tummo focuses on igniting the inner fire and recognizing the union of appearances and openness. Students will deepen their vase breathing practice, refine visualization of channels and bindus, and kindle vital essence at the navel to ignite Chandali. Subsidiary yogas of day, night, and dream will be introduced. Students will also train in expelling and leading energies through channels using winds practice, strengthening visualization of the subtle body, and intitaing the blazing and melting the vital essence. Digestive fire, enhanced immunity, creative power, fortified libido, and a felt sense of lightness and well-being are all earmarks of engagement with this method.

All courses offer 60-minute live Zoom sessions and printed content + exercises (yantra) via pre-recorded videos. We believe that learning is enhanced when participants teach one another, and cohort members will have ample opportunities to connect and share their experiences. While the course is rooted in Tibetan traditions, it does not require any specific cultural or religious affiliation.

Tummo will not help us transcend our messy human lives. Instead, we aim to dissolve the apparent conflict between messy and transcendent. The confluence of posture, breath retention, and visualization is an arena where we can challenge habitual ways of framing our experience. Tummo supports the practice of owning our disturbance and healing the apparent split of the divided self.

Talking About Deity Yoga

I joined Michael Taft on Deconstructing Yourself to discuss devotion in meditation practice, the need for stability in groundlessness, and the ontological status of deities in Vajrayana practice. We explored common failure modes of practice, how to handle formless panic, and the magical matrix of the Guhyagarbha tantra that illustrates bardo meditation and the union of emptiness and vivid appearance.

The conversation touched on why deity yoga continues to hold such lasting power and beauty within the Vajrayana tradition, examining that diaphanous intersection where visualization, somatic experience, and mystery converge. We went deep into the mechanics of transformation, the necessity of paradox, and why these practices remain particularly relevant for contemporary practitioners. The Vajrayana tradition continues to offer something irreplaceable in our contemporary spiritual landscape.

Deconstructing Yourself Podcast

I recently enjoyed a lively discussion with my esteemed colleague Michael Taft on his podcast, "Deconstructing Yourself." Many of you know Michael through his extensive activity in the meditation training and podcasting space.

We explored various topics, including embodied immediacy, navigating disturbing experiences, cultivating open awareness, and how the traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tummo helps us to be more familiar with any refusal to go into experiential intensity. I hope you have time to tune in to this fun discussion!

Peter McEwen focuses on providing instruction and support for practitioners balancing the dizzying array of work and family commitments that modern life demands.

In a society that prioritizes output, meditation and mindfulness practices are often conflated with self-optimization. Instead, we can view meditation as a tool that reveals our immediate experience—discomfort and all—as a reliable source of well-being and problem-solving.

Since 1993, he's studied under Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Orgyen P'huntsok, Lama Pema Dorje Rinpoche, and Bruce Tift, and has completed the traditional three-year retreat curriculum. Grounded in three decades of traditional training, Peter brings Vajrayana into direct conversation with the realities of modern life.
