One Year

Intensive Nei gong program

Nei Gong

Nei Gong training is the internal development process of Daoism with influences from particularly Buddhism and probably Hinduism as well. Classically taught it is a systematic path of development towards the Dao (the ineffable, ultimate truth). This process starts with body development, energetic development and ultimately mental and spiritual development.

This year will provide structure, direction and focus to your Nei Gong practice. The expectation is

that participants will have completed a foundation weekend or similar with Sophie or another

Lotus Nei Gong teacher so that some embodied understanding is present of Wuji, the Kua, and

the formation/activation of the Lower Dan Tian. Purely online training or years in other QiGong

schools will not be invited to attend unless they undertake a foundation course.

The training is particularly deep, and demanding and I need to be sure everyone is already

committed and sure about their dedication to the practice, with their sense of humour intact! For

context, the foundations of this process takes everyone between 7-10 years. This year is to

support this, with the very basics of how to stand, and foundation theory already done.

We will meet in person for 3 long weekends, a week long summer camp and a 5 day event to

complete in November.

Alongside that will be four Zoom classes exclusively for this group and the possibility for people to

have up to four 1:1 mentoring zoom calls with Sophie to address any questions/issues with

training. Participants will be invited to complete a training diary which Sophie is happy to read and

if appropriate comment/make suggestions upon. The intention being that your personal practice

time develops direction and efficiency.

Every training event will include Qi building, purging, and theory appropriate to the group. Below

follows a rough idea of what we will cover, although inevitably it will become a moving feast.

Cost £2000 This is for all the training, Zoom classes, and 1:1’s.

Accommodation is to be paid for separately.

All training will be at Bonhays and a nearby hall. This will enable us to utilise early

morning and evening.

Places are limited. Emails have been sent out to those who have already applied. If you are interested, we can put you on the waitinglist incase someone who already has applied cannot make it.
