Tibetan traditions have a unique understanding of issues at the end of life.

In this interactive workshop Dr. Alejandro Chaoul, who is faculty at the MD Anderson Cancer Center’s department of Palliative, Rehabilitation and Integrative Medicine, will continue leading the Bardo practices that Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has taught over the weekend, and propose how to apply them in one’s life as well as in a professional healthcare environment. The workshop will include practices, teachings as well as vivid discussions of how to apply these deep ancient teachings in a modern western environment. This retreat will be of value to all caregivers and practitioners.


Alejandro earned his PhD in Tibetan Religions from Rice University in Houston, TX. He currently teaches courses in spirituality and health at the University of Texas Health Science Center and does research at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, using Tibetan meditation and mind-body techniques with cancer patients. In his teaching, he combines the academic, the Bon-Buddhist practices and his experience in the healthcare field.

Alejandro is the author of Chöd Practice in the Bön Religion, and has also written various articles on the role of mind-body practices in integrative cancer care, on Tibetan meditation and ritual practices, and on the intersection of humanities, spirituality and medicine.
