Are you
ready
for real
change?
Ren Xue is a comprehensive system for the beneficial and uplifting development of life, founded by Yuan Tze. At its core, Ren Xue takes the totality of life into consideration — including human life — and seeks to create positive change to the whole rather than focusing on isolated parts. Its teachings are applied through two practical subsystems: Yuan Qigong and Yuan Ming. Ren Xue supports each person in developing “normality” by first establishing a stable and healthy "Qi" (life force/energy) condition. From this foundation, life can continue to develop through transformation of the heart and mind.
This process begins with the individual: learning for oneself, experiencing from the inside out, and making meaningful changes in one’s own life.
Explore the offerings that may support a truly life-changing journey.
Nourishing. Uplifting. Healing.

An 8-Week Journey
Started Monday, 4th May 2026
IN-PERSON | Mondays | 7:00 – 8:15 pm

Feel the difference in your life as you practise Yuan Qigong consistently over 8 weeks. Yuan Qigong is a tool specifically designed to re-energise you at a very fundamental level, while gently allowing a natural sense of calm and clarity to return.
From this relaxed and deeply calm state—our natural way of being in life—you may begin to experience not only a sense of ease and lightness, but also a genuine sense of joy.
A powerful, yet gentle form of Qigong rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, Yuan Qigong works with the body, energy, heart and consciousness to restore balance and well-being and ulpift life as a whole. During the 8 Week programme, we will practice simple and gentle exercises that are suitable for all ages and body types.
For anyone who wants to feel better — even if you’ve never heard of Ren Xue & Yuan Qigong. All ages, abilities, and body types are warmly welcome.
No matter who we are, at the most fundamental level we all face the same challenges in life. Real change is possible — and necessary — for everyone, regardless of how we look, what we’ve been through, or what we’ve achieved.
This supportive holistic programme includes the following:
- 8 in-person sessions with 2 teachers
- Access to a dedicated online student space with additional resources to support and deepen your understanding.
- Weekly practice audios and videos
- Support for your weekly gong practice and questions via a WhatsApp group
Sliding Scale:

$120 + $20* – for those who need a more accessible option.
-
$160 + $20* – standard contribution.
-
$200 + $20* – for those who would like to support our work more fully.

Personalised 1:1 Ren Xue, Yuan Qigong & Yuan Ming Sessions
Sessions available by appointment

These 1:1 sessions offer a focused space to heal your life, gain clarity, develop a deeper sense of peace, and better understand yourself and life. With personalised guidance, they can support meaningful change, improve your health and accelerate your growth.
Book a session and experience the difference
In a group setting, what we explore can sometimes take time to fully digest and understand. You may feel self-conscious asking certain questions, may have personal challenges you would like to work on or feel that you need more individual guidance to really apply what is being taught. You may also simply want a space where you can explore how Ren Xue and Yuan Qigong relate more directly to your own life and situation.
These one-on-one sessions offer a safe and supportive space to explore these questions more deeply. You can ask freely (there are no “stupid” questions), gain clarity, and take the time to return to a calm and balanced state. If you wish, you can also experience Qi healing and receive more personalised guidance to support your own journey.

Feel the difference in your life as you make small but significant changes in your understanding of life and yourself. As Jingshen (our consciousness, heart, and True Self) is the “master of Qi” — wherever Jingshen goes, Qi follows — it has a strong influence on the movement and transformation of Qi.
A deeper understanding of both the laws of life and yourself is key to creating meaningful change. However, these changes also need to be embodied, and taking action is essential.
These 1:1 sessions support this process. They provide a space where you can be relaxed, calm, and natural, allowing for clarity, insight, and practical steps forward to emerge more easily.
Ren Xue is a system for understanding the laws of life, particularly in relation to health, happiness, wellbeing, growth, and contribution. It offers a way to explore how life works at a deeper level, and how we can align ourselves more fully with these principles in everyday living, so that our own life can naturally manifest these qualities as we become more aligned with the laws of life.
Thanks to its two application systems, Yuan Qigong and Yuan Ming, during these one-to-one sessions you will be given tools to support this process through both practice and reflection.
Yuan Ming (also referred to as Totality Healing) is one of the two application systems within Ren Xue (the other being Yuan Qigong). It is a holistic approach to health and healing that works with the same principles as Yuan Qigong, but is primarily focused on supporting others.
It is based on the three core Ren Xue theories — the Theory of Qi, the Theory of Jingshen (heart, consciousness, True Self), and the Theory of Totality — and aims to support healing and transformation on all levels of life. Rather than focusing on symptoms, Yuan Ming addresses the deeper information and patterns behind health conditions.
Its purpose is to work on the root causes and help people restore balance and improve health in a safe, natural, and comprehensive way, supporting both self-healing and professional therapeutic work through trained practitioners.
For anyone who wants to feel better — even if you’ve never heard of Ren Xue or Yuan Qigong. That said, it is recommended to do 1:1 sessions in conjunction with regular Yuan Qigong practice as dedicated and consistent effort is key to create real change.
No matter who we are, at the most fundamental level we all face the same challenges in life. Real change is possible — and necessary — for everyone, regardless of how we look, what we’ve been through, or what we’ve achieved.

Ren Xue Education– The Foundation
Discover the core philosophy and overarching vision as Yuan Tze shares The Foundation in April 2026.
This introductory course is currently taking place at Rauhitanga, a beautiful venue that looks out toward the site of the future Ren Xue center in Golden Bay, New Zealand. The in-person, non-residential course, will be shared online and made available as an online course afterward. This course is the beginning of something very special.
It is designed for active participation toward mapping the collaborative process we will need to bring this vision to reality.
Yuan Tze will share the:
- origin of and need for wisdom-based education
- primary goal, core purpose, and guiding principles of Ren Xue Education
- main components of the system, the stages, approaches, and the role of teachers, students and culture
- way in which family education will be both the foundation and extension of school education, seeing parents as co-educators
- structures of wisdom education, its principles & governance, its curriculum, assessment & personnel, and the physical & virtual learning environments
- operations required to support and iterate
This work is about our future—the future of our children, our families, and our global community. If you feel called to be part of this co-creative endeavor, you are wholeheartedly invited to join Yuan Tze & Melissa and be part of a new educational paradigm.
What This Course Is
- It WILL cover three key areas: What is Ren Xue Education?, Outline of Ren Xue Education, Structure of Ren Xue Education
- It WILL include daily lectures, group discussions, and Q&A
- It IS a classroom style format where participants will be seated on chairs at tables
- It IS an invitation for active participation to co-create the development of this new pathway
- It IS the beginning of a collaborative journey into the manifestation of wisdom-based education
Yuan Tze warmly invites everyone who is enthusiastic to co-create the development of this profound educational evolution. We particularly hope you consider joining if:
- you have time and a keen heart willing to explore how you can lend your support
- you have formal teaching qualifications or experience
- you have experience with independent or charter schools or starting a school
- you have a policy or regulatory background
- you are a parent interested in wisdom-based education
- you have experience with curriculum development
