Daoist Qiging Workshops with Daniel Li Ox

AUGUST

Two weeks of qigong intensive  trainings, led by master  Daniel Li Ox.
These two weeks will introduce qigong exercises, forms and meditations.

DEVELOPING YOUR FULL HUMAN POTENTIAL

August 2 to 6

In the Daoist Qi Gong tradition, the practitioner trains to develop and harmonize the
three human essences, the Jing (vital forces & sexual energy), the Qi (virtues &
emotional energy), and the Shen (transcendent spirit & mental clarity and intelligence).
This helps to overcome human lacks and limitations to access Ultimate Freedom. This
workshop will offer the understanding and the training grid to achieve that goal. The
participant will learn to Cultivate Power, Virtues, and Psychic Abilities through the
opening of the three cavities and the fourteen most powerful energy centers of the body.

MEDICAL GI GONG  August 9 to 13

The opening of the 12 collateral meridians (Zang Fu) follows next in the process of self
healing. Each of these 12 energy channels is linked up with a specific organ (Yin) or
viscera (Yang). They regulate their energy flow. During this workshop, the trainee
learns to apply the four powers in order to feel, open, clear, increase and balance their
respective Qi. Hence the name of Medical Qi Gong. Practically, we will learn to apply
the four powers directly to each of the organs and viscera and integrate the trajectory
of each channel through self massage and various movements.

‘AT PEACE WITH WHAT IS’

October 19-26

Hostess and catalyst: Yoyo Olivier – van der Kooi,
supported by a team of experienced life explorers.

A life enhancing 8-day seminar Thailand, October 19th – 26th 2010

We welcome you to a relaxing and inspiring event, organized by the School for the (He)art of Living (www.humanifold.org), a non-profit society from The Netherlands (Europe). Quality time to come home to yourself.

The only thing that stands between us and inner peace is our tendency to resist what is – both in us and outside us. We seem to be in a continuous struggle with ourselves and that which life confronts us with: (existential) pain, injustice, natural disasters, abuse, illness, addictions and relationship problems.

To find out where this tendency comes from and how we can free ourselves from it, we’ll settle in a beautiful spot on the island of Koh Phangan near Koh Samui

Verbal and non-verbal interaction, movement, dance, yoga, role-play, massage, meditation and creative expression are the tools we use to trace and clear limiting beliefs, suppressed emotions and physical tensions that are at the core of our resistances. The programme tailors itself organically following the input and needs of the participants and the processes that unfold in the alchemy of this meeting.

Investment: private € 200 – € 800, corporate € 900 – € 1,500 (depending on financial situation), not including travel and accommodation.

Life Experiences

“"A real special place, one of the most beautiful positions and nicest places in Southern Thailand. The architecture shows that they (owners/management) are conscious of a special way of life. The only things you won't find there are roads, discos and stress. The food is good, big choice and good prices."”
by Rainer Bocik & Siriporn Jantawat Translation from German in 'Reise Handbook'
