Deepen your training and knowledge of Feeding Your Demons® in Level II. Learn how to work more extensively with your allies, trace your demons in your body, and map family demons and allies.

Buddhist Track participants will also dive deeper into the practice lineage of Machig Labdrön with an introduction to Jamgön Kongtrül’s text “Transmitting the Meaning of the Mother,” and Machig Labdrön’s method for cutting through discursive thoughts.

Secular Track participants will explore the underlying principles of the Feeding Your Demons process, including practical methods for recognizing and working with repetitive thought patterns. These approaches support greater clarity, reduced reactivity, and a more flexible relationship to inner experience.

  • Individuals who have completed FYD Level I or Kapala Training Level I and want to deepen their personal understanding of the work, or those who are on a path to become a Certified FYD Facilitator.
  • Feeding Your Demons® Level II Buddhist Track (Kapala II) is a required practice accumulation commitment for the Magyu Mother Lineage Program.
