Shaolin Five Animals

What you will experience by participating:

​

• Qi Gong – 5 Animal Frolics - Wǔ Qín Xì (五禽戏)

With the movements of the animals, we return to our original life force.

Fluent, playful, powerful – each animal embodies a quality that strengthens body, mind, and organ energy.

Movement becomes medicine.

This brings our 5 elements into harmony, as each form of the 5 different animals is associated with an organ system and element.

​​

• Kung Fu – Wu Xing Quan (五形拳)

Through the movements of Shaolin Kung Fu, we explore the power and dynamism of the Five Animals.

Clear, direct, and expressive—every movement strengthens structure, body, and presence.

Through the form, we connect external power with internal alignment.

Stability, speed, and focus develop through conscious movement.

Power. Direction. Intention.

A moment when body and mind become one.

​

• Tea Ceremony

An introduction to the art of tea. We connect with its wisdom.

Tea is more than a drink – it's a practice.

Through mindfulness, we open the inner space.

In the quiet ritual of drinking tea, the mind calms and the heart remembers.

Presence. Breath. Awareness.

A moment in which nothing is lacking.
