THE JOURNEY

STARTS WITH YOU

Give yourself a break

Give yourself a break from daily life.

Discover a new culture, infused with a positive mentality.

Rest your mind in temples, the jungle and the waterfalls.

Nurture your body with traditional medicine and massages.

Take care of your spirit and dive into practice.

EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT WAY

This retreat is your invitation to deepen your practice.

Become the way

In a world full of noise, pressure, and constant doing, it’s easy to forget who we truly are. Here, we step away from responsibilities, roles, and expectations — and turn inward.

Join us on a practice immersion, discover deeper release, receive new impulses, have the time to re-program these new aspects of practice and integrate them with your current life themes.

This retreat is for all students that have already studied the TaiJi Slow Form with us and have developed a regular practice. You will receive personalized corrections and a practice focus for the year ahead.

Experience the Journey Into Oneself 7 Gate Teaching, which bridges ancient eastern practices to our modern life.

A practice which connects our TaiJi Form to the way we react and move through life. A practice that opens ourselves to a better life.

For this retreat, we will focus on the following Gates.

Impermanence | Everything transforms

Accept change as a natural part of life and learn how to move through life with more ease.

Stillness | Return to Silence

Learn how to quieten down the mind and cultivate inner stillness. Return from constant doing to simply being.

Intention | Move with purpose

Set the right intentions for how you live, move and connect with the world. Discover the wisdom of the heart.

Embodiment | Become the way

Understand how to integrate the practice into all aspects of your life.

Guidance and Community

This retreat is guided by Master Zuan — headmaster of Shaolin Temple Europe - and his Team JIO.

It is a rare and precious opportunity to learn directly from a true master whose presence, clarity, and compassion leave a lasting imprint on everyone he meets. His team offers care and support with every need that you have. Their presence creates the strong hold of a practice community.

This retreat is open for everyone who has studied TaiJi Slow Form with us and wishes to deepen the fundamental principles beyond the Form.

Let This Be Your Moment.   To step away from the noise.  To listen inward.  To move, breathe, and come alive.   We invite you to join us — and remember the wisdom of the heart that is already within you.

Teachers

Shifu Zuan

Shifu Zuan’s teachings and commitment are characterized by a deep connection with the traditional Chinese Arts, which he not only practices but also integrates into everyday life.

Shifu Zuan serves as a guide on a path to self-realization and self- discovery. He gives the tools and encourages his students to walk their path independently, to awaken their true power and discover their true nature.

JIO Team

Team JIO are a handful of students who have spent six years or longer in a dedicated practice with Shifu Zuan and have been accepted as his Inner Students. They have been part of an “Assistant Program” for two years and have completed their Instructors Training.

They are building up their own teaching and are invited to take care of private classes, online classes, Team Workshops and Team Retreats in the name of JIO. They take different roles in the organisation and are asked to fulfill tasks based on their skills.

They cultivate the virtues of this teaching and support the ones that join this journey with care and compassion. Guiding by example, from outside in, they are the heart of this teaching.
