The tour spanned five countries and fourteen locations over fifty-nine days.
The primary objective of the tour was to promote and share the profound wisdom of Tibetan Medicine and Tibetan Astro-Science with a broader audience through medical consultations, astrological consultations, massage therapies, lectures, and workshops. Additionally, the tour offered an opportunity to introduce and showcase Men-Tsee-Khang’s range of Sorig products and amulets with interested individuals and communities.
The tour began in Germany from 25 April to 25 May, covering eight locations: Tibethaus Deutschland (Tibet House, Frankfurt), Mr. Ralf Bauer’s residence in Baden-Baden, Rigpa Centre and Tibetische Gesundheitstherapie in Berlin, Rigpa Centre’s branch Sukhavati in Bad Sarrow, Tibet Centre and Jangchup Choeling Centre in Hamburg, and Das Tibet Kailash Haus in Freiburg.
