Is there only one root cause of illness in traditional Chinese medicine?As the saying goes: BuTongZeTong 不通則痛 – “No flow means pain; flow means health.”

Master Wu will guide us on a journey into the heart of ancient teachings, where the source of health, power, and balance is Qi – life energy – and its stagnation is the fundamental origin of illness.

In this open session, you will be introduced to the foundations of Shamanic Thunder Qigong (Zhen ☳), an internal practice of healing and strength-building inspired by the ancient Emei mountain tradition and the Book of Changes (Yijing).You’ll experience a form called the Heart Ritual – an ancient blend of inner movement, breath, and sound.

For everyone – regardless of experience level. Ideal for those who seek to understand, feel, and practice.

Free admission for QiFest ticket holders, in order of arrival at the presentation venue.

This is work with intention, movement, energy, and mind – simultaneously developing the body, strengthening Qi, and opening inner channels of awareness.

The Tiger represents the Metal element – lungs, breath of life – and the ability to act in alignment with intuition.This workshop will help you:– deepen your breath,– strengthen immunity,– stimulate the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation,– and anchor yourself in the spiritual power of your practice.

Intended for those ready to engage with the depth of Qigong – not merely as a technique, but as an inner path of transformation.

The Dao of Calligraphy and Tea
2025-10-06 18:30 - 20:00 (Europe/Warsaw) | Museum of Asia and the Pacific, Solec 24., Warsaw, Poland
Description

Master Zhongxian Wu invites us with those words:

“Both calligraphy and tea have been a part of our traditional life.

Of all my inner cultivation experiences, the most powerful practices are Fu, Chinese Calligraphy/Talisman.

According to Wu (Chinese Shamanic) tradition, talismans allow us direct access to universal Qi for the purposes of inner cultivation, healing and creating harmonizing FengShui energy.

As a part of your daily cultivation practice, drinking tea awakens your consciousness to a level similar to those which arise from a deep Qigong meditation practice – this can in turn make room for a great Qi transformation to occur within your body!

Savouring tea is an art — it is an art of Tao, internal alchemy, Qi transformation, martial arts, life and an art of love.”

During this event Master Wu will demonstrate the Tao of calligraphy and tea, and also share a simple qigong practice of the Tao.

Join us for experiencing a way to awaken our own hibernating ShenQi 神氣 (spiritual energies) and transforming obstacles in the physical, mental, and spiritual levels.

GanZhi program session 1
2025-10-16 18:00 - 2025-10-21 12:00 (Europe/Paris)
GanZhi Advanced Daoist Arts Program

Master Zhongxian Wu developed the GanZhi Advanced Daoist Arts program to preserve the use of the Stems and Branches in classical Chinese healing arts, internal cultivation practice, and in Yijing divination techniques, as well as to create an international network of practitioners and teachers skilled in the deepest roots of China’s ancient wisdom traditions.

Guided by principles of the Yijing 易經, one of the oldest classical Chinese texts, the structure of this program includes four levels of training: Yuan 元, Heng 亨, Li 利, and Zhen 貞.

To help students deepen and embody their understanding of these ancient arts, we share secret Daoist internal alchemy practices throughout each level of the program.

Applied Divination and Chinese Astrology: TianGan DiZhi 天干地支

TianGan DiZhi (“GanZhi”), the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, are the foundation of ancient Chinese cosmological sciences. With origins in a complex calendrical system, the GanZhi were created to codify the patterns of the universe.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are the heart of all Chinese wisdom traditions. In them lie the keys to understanding the crucial alchemical principles governing the macrocosm (universe) and microcosm (human being).

Program Structure

Instruction for the GanZhi Advanced Daoist Arts Program is offered in an immersive setting and via online forums over the course of four years. In the Daoist tradition, community is an essential component of all internal cultivation practices. Being in the company of like heart-minds offers tremendous support on our life journey.

During annual intensive trainings, we delve ever deeper into the theories and practices of these ancient lineage teachings. It is through our own cultivation practices that we learn to turn knowledge into the wisdom of our own daily experience.
