Program Details

We start each day early with a Shaolin QiGong warm up and Qigong session at the top of the mountain. (Qigong lessons are typically 50€ a week and we train twice a day. Partaking in this is not mandatory.) Then a quick breakfast and work begins. The work of the day always depends on the weather and what needs to be prioritised at the moment. Generally we will work from 9 until 1pm and then stop for lunch. All meals will be prepared by the hosts. We are striclty vegan and try to keep a clean diet to maximise the Qi (energy).

Activities & Shift

5 Hours a day, 5 days a week.

Rules
