In this heart-to-heart connection, Yuan Tze will shed light on topics such as the true meaning of health and growth and how to achieve them, the true essence of life and of one’s identity, and how to truly be in charge of one’s life.
This workshop is for anyone who wishes to find a clear path forward, a path for achieving good health and true happiness, and for living the full potential of life.

Organizers
We are very happy that Yuan Tze and Melissa are returning to Heidelberg after 11 years. The last weekend workshop here was in 2012. Since that time much in the world has changed and Ren Xue has become an International organization with over 600 teachers. The Ren Xue system with the methods and theories of Yuan Qigong are providing help for many people to improve their health and quality of life.
The weekend workshop is a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where you will mix with local people and many international participants as well. There will be further opportunities to explore Ren Xue and do Yuan Qigong with local teachers here in Heidelberg, other parts of Germany, and in most continents where there are now many qualified teachers available.
