Training courses and Yunnan discovery

Discover the Yunnan, its villages, its paddy fields and its mountains.

Get to learn the way of thinking, the culture and the Chinese philosophy, another way of life.

Practice daily in the strict Chinese tradition: in order to stay healthy and wake your mind up.

Walking in the world, sharing a meal, sharing part of the way, a conversation, opening up to differences, to the unknown, to oneself and to the Other.

Training courses and calligraphy

Chinese calligraphy is a mean to personal enrichment. Practicing Qi gong, Tai ji quan and learning about calligraphy reveal the essence of the Yin and the Yang, the very foundation of Chinese philosophy.

Through paper, brush and ink, through breathing, movement and attention, learn about the different stages and tools which develop the perception of energy, the natural movement of your life.

The calligrapher and trainee learns to know himself, to bring his body, heart and mind to living in harmony with this world.

Training courses with Valérie Pourtier

What is meditation?
How and why do we practice it ?
How can we make it part of our daily life ?

Each and every one of us can meditate no matter what are one’s faith, values, job and environment.
Meditation goes beyond our differences; it is a key common to all men.

Learning about meditation is an exploration of the self, the world and life.
