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.

• 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.

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
• you are a Ren Xue teacher or teacher-in-training interested in teaching children or working with parents
• you have fundraising skills
• you have project management, administrative, communications, and organizational skills
• you have contacts and connections which may be beneficial to this project

Feel the difference in your life as you practise Yuan Qigong consistently over 10 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 10 Week programme, we will practice very simple and gentle exercises that are suitable for all ages and body types. 

Please note: this 10 week module is specifically designed for people with health challenges.

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.

This 10-week module is designed with people experiencing health challenges in mind, with a focus on adapting the practice to each participant’s individual needs.

For this reason, the registration form includes some additional health-related questions, so I can better understand your situation and support you safely.

At the same time, everyone works at their own level, so even if you are not experiencing major health challenges, you are still very welcome to join.

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.

• A state of relaxation that isn't about an external calm but about coming back to a natural state of being.
• Practical tools for mental, emotional and physical wellbeing you can come back to in times of need.
• Simple daily energy practices to restore your energy (Qi).

Sliding Scale:

• $100 for the 10 week module.

• $150 for those who would like to support my work more fully.
