ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

My name is Barry Hogg, I was born in 1952 in the Hunter Valley wine growing district, NSW, Australia.

At age eighteen, I fractured my spine in a motor bike accident, which led to a deterioration in my health, culminating in constant pain, infected kidneys, gout, the first stages of arthritis and ongoing bouts of depression. Life looked bleak to say the least. After taking numerous drugs, having dyes injected and scans taken, all with little benefit, I lost faith in the medical system that I thought was going to help me. In desperation I turned to alternative therapies. At the age of twenty one I started my journey back to health. As part of my studies in atlernative therapies, I was introduced to the Tibetan Rites in 1992.

Since then I have been practicing them daily. It took me three months to build up to doing twenty one of each of the Five Tibetan Rites and since then I have lived a pain free, healthy, non depressed, fulfilling life, which allows me to still go surfing and play golf off a single figure handicap.

For the last ten years I have been working and teaching the Tibetan Rites at one of Australia's leading Holistic Health Retreats.
