Kung Fu Zen Garden Retreat
“Kung Fu & Zen”7 Days Retreat Start From 1st October
Kung Fu is about more
than combat and self-defense. The essence of Kung Fu is the way of health
revitalization and mental purification.If you are interested in what Chinese culture
has to offer, and wondering how traditional Kung Fu can help with self-healing,
internal and external balance, and stress release, look no further. Come and
join our “Kung Fu & Zen" 7-day retreat in the suburb of Beijing. We
are an hour outside the city, but a world away!
Traditional Kung Fu / Ancient Chinese Philosophy / Insight
Calligraphy / Zen Meditation
As we all know,
taking care of our bodies is essential; and caring for our mental well-being is
even more important in a modern world, with its trials, temptations and stress.
However, many of us ignore looking after our hearts and minds. As a matter of
fact, the long lineage of Shaolin masters was aware of the importance of both
body and mind, that is why they brought up the philosophy of “Chan Wu” which means Kung Fu & Zen.
In our “kung fu & Zen” retreat program we
place great emphasis on balance in life, health and mental strength. Health
revitalization is so important in the day-to-day battle to counter the harmful
effects of modern day stress. Our past retreats have shown that the exercises
in our program are very helpful for those suffering from problems with their
back, neck and shoulders that resulted from long hours in the office.
The academy has
designed a series of exercises for health preservation and seminars to
illuminate the ancient Chinese philosophy. Master Paul Wang and Master Xingxi’s
program uniquely expresses the essence of “Chan Wu” with a focus on healing,
based on their deep understanding of Zen Buddhism and many years of meditation
practice and dedicated study of traditional kung fu.
