See you soon. Steve.

Program Details

I start each day early with a Shaolin QiGong warm up and Qigong session at the top of the mountain where we can feel the transition from Yin to Yang as the sun rises over the mountain. Then a quick breakfast and work begins. Generally we will work from 9 until 1pm and then stop for lunch. All meals will be prepared as a group and you can ask for me to buy whatever you like to eat. I am Vegan and try to keep a clean diet to maximise my Qi (energy).

Activities & Shift

5 Hours a day, 5 days a week.

Qigong sessions will be available Monday to Friday morning and evening, meditation and chanting is also something you can join in with.

Rules

Respect Mother Earth, be mindful of the fire risks in the Summer, recycle (bins provided), use the provided composting toilets. Be mindful and respectful of others. Other than that you can be yourself or a better version of that and do what you want.

There was not a VAN option on the accomodation but this is where you will sleep, its a VW T4 California, with gas cooker.
