Ultimate Healing: Medicine Buddha Retreat
with Venerable Angie Muir
21-23 August 2026
Sunshine Room, Ecovillage Findhorn/Online
Healing Through the Wisdom of the Four Noble Truths
Healing in Buddhism goes deeper than symptom relief. It reaches the root.
In this retreat, we connect with the powerful healing presence of Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru), whose luminous blue form represents the purification of body, speech, and mind. Through mantra, visualization, and meditation, we invoke not only outer healing, but the profound inner transformation that frees us from suffering at its source.
At the heart of this retreat is a brief exploration of the Four Noble Truths, first taught by Shakyamuni Buddha:
True healing is not merely the removal of pain, but the discovery of peace beyond suffering.
Join us to awaken the healing wisdom already present within your own heart.
About Venerable Angie
Born in Scotland in 1970, Venerable Angie combined traveling with work in Asia for 3 years until 1995, when she felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and find her life path.
Meeting Her Teacher
Within a few months, she had the incredible fortune due to some previous karma to discover Tibetan Buddhism, meet her main spiritual teacher, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and become ordained. She served at Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s personal residences in the US for over 13 years. Interspersed with that was working at FPMT centers such as Vajrapani Institute and Thubten Norbu Ling as well as doing various personal retreats. Ven. Angie also returned to Scotland for a few years, teaching and leading meditation retreats there.
Living at Vajrapani Institute, California
In 2023, when Lama Zopa Rinpoche showed the aspect of passing away, she was invited to Vajrapani Institute in California where she supports the programs as a teacher in residence. She is currently teaching the FPMT program Discovering Buddhism as well as starting to tour and offer other classes, meditations, and retreats at other centers in North America.

She has also helped lead a pilgrimage to Lawudo Retreat Center in the Himalayas in Nepal where her teacher meditated in his previous life. Read more
