Yi Jin Jing and Alchemy

8th - 13th May 2025

with Sophie Johnson

During these days, we will review, for some, and establish the firing process and work to build, thicken and build the Qi, and then attempt to utilise and move this accumulated Qi with exercises from the Yi Jing Jing to more efficiently open and (not just flush) the channels.

Utilising the energy of the full moon on the last night of this training amongst the meditative and Nei Gong training will hopefully give everyone’s practice a boost, and take us deeper towards that which is unchangeable within.

This retreat is only for the more experienced practitioners amongst you, as the foundation work needs to have been done to benefit from the training.
