Join a self-growth intimate silent retreat in France, 

in a beautiful, calm, and natural setting...

 

  

  

Slow down. Connect. Relax. Breathe. Open. Learn. Transform.

Know yourself and let real growth unfold through the journey within

 

 

About the retreat

 

Main theme of the retreat: 'Tong' (no barriers) - while exploring further our understanding of the Ren Xue Teachings.

This deep and intimate retreat is an invitation to step away from the usual constant external focus, noisy environment and daily routines, while exploring what it really means to gently turn our attention inward - this can be surprisingly more difficult than we think, deepening our ability to connect with our inner experience, opening the doors that are ready to open - in their own time.

 

Pre-Requisite: To join retreat, it is recommended that you are familiar with Ren Xue teachings in general and have an understanding of working with deep-rooted patterns, as well as being at ease with Yuan Gong Methods 1, 2, 3. The retreat will not include teaching these moving methods from the beginning. Instead, we will spend our time practicing, reviewing, and deepening our experience with them together.

 
About the silence: To help this whole process, silence will be suggested outside of teaching sessions during the breaks, allowing time to reflect internally and softly transform what needs to be transformed in a natural way. Of course, you're welcome to speak to me at any time when necessary, if you have questions and if something important arises. 
 

Personal support: Each day, I will be available during a specific time for private guidance, should you need individual support along the way.

 
For those who would need to talk during the breaks, there will be a suitable space available for conversation, so as not to disturb those who wish to preserve and nurture the silence within.

 

No pressure, no expectation, no performance. 

Just a space to listen, rest, and realign with the Law, as per Ren Xue guidance.
