In this 6 week Journey from Failure to Fulfilment, you will embark on a life-changing journey rooted in Ren Xue a unique and powerful path to realising the True Self. Ren Xue is not just a philosophy. It’s a practical, proven and effective system for genuine transformation. This programme is here to help you find true inner success amidst so-called failures, and ultimately realising a true sense of Self. No matter where you're starting from, this path can lead you home.

Online

You’ll need about 30 minutes every day to get the most out of the programme. 

💛Receive daily support for 6 weeks in the form of practical tools, teachings, and practices grounded in the Ren Xue system. This will include daily quotes for inspiration or reflection, integration prompts as well as teachings and tutorials to help you learn specific Yuan Gong practices. These practices enable you to directly apply what you learn to your life and experience the benefits first-hand.

💛 Access to my app for content and membership site. Keep track of your progress and share it, notice the changes you make and access more resources. 

💛 A private WhatsApp group. Find a community of like-minded people who are not here to pretend that everything is OK. Others who, like you, are willing to be real because deep down they know sincerity and true intention will lead to TRUE change. You will find true support and take real action to change how you feel, while encouraging each other along the way. 

💛 Private one-on-one session each week (40 minutes) for personalised support, guidance, and deeper integration tailored to your specific needs.

💛 Live Weekly group sessions on Zoom to keep you accountable, discuss your progress, clear potential roadblocks, answer your questions and provide support if you feel stuck so you can better understand yourself and keep moving towards your goals.

💛 PLUS… Once the journey ends, you’ll have the option to continue with ongoing weekly coaching at a special discounted rate, exclusively for participants of the journey From Failure to Fulfilment. Because transformation doesn’t end in six weeks and I want to make sure you’re supported for the journey beyond.

WHEN: Starting 2nd of July, you will work through the material at your own pace every day. I recommend setting aside around 30 minutes each day to read, reflect, and practice. Of course, you are always welcome to go deeper or spend more time if you feel called.

A mix of methods and exercises will be practised over the 6 weeks, including the moving method Tian Yuan, the standing form Di Yuan, breathing techniques, heart meditations, and awareness practices.

While the Yuan Gong methods will be an integral part of each day (starting in WEEK 2), there will also be a strong emphasis on developing clarity by learning the foundational theories and teachings of the Ren Xue system.

People who are tired of pretending they’re fine when deep down, they feel empty, disillusioned, disappointed… maybe even defeated by life. People who aren’t afraid to admit that they feel lost, confused but who are ready for true change. No previous Ren Xue or Yuan Gong experience required.

Please note:

To ensure this journey is a safe and supportive experience for everyone, please be aware that this course may not be suitable for individuals currently experiencing deep, unresolved trauma.

After you register your interest, you’ll be invited to book a free one-on-one session with me. This is a confidential space where we can connect, discuss your current situation, and ensure that this journey is the right fit for you at this time.

Your wellbeing and your growth are both important and if this isn’t the right programme for you, I’ll do my best to point you toward more appropriate support.

The Purpose of This Journey

This 6-week experience is designed to support deep, meaningful transformation one step at a time. Whether you’ve felt stuck, disillusioned, or simply ready for something more real, this journey offers a supportive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom (True Self) and awaken your potential.

Together, we will:

Deepen Your Understanding of Self and Life
You will be guided to cultivate a better understanding of yourself on every level the body, Qi, consciousness, and heart. This includes recognising and transforming unhealthy patterns, coming back to the unconditional qualities of the heart, reconnecting with the True Self, and aligning with the laws of life.

Establish Consistency & Dedication
Consistency and dedication are key to genuine transformation. Through daily prompts and ongoing support, you’ll be supported in creating consistency and strengthen your inner commitment, 2 key ingredients for life cultivation and long-term growth.

Understand the laws of life 
Each day offers bite-sized Ren Xue teachings that are clear, practical, and applicable. This will help you understand not just what to do, but why it works—bridging the gap between knowledge and application (the magical ingredient in making real change!).

Cultivate Self-Awareness and a healthy state
As you engage with the practices and reflections, you’ll also be working on self-awareness and a healthy state of being (relaxed and calm) and these qualities will become the ground for deeper transformation.

Integrate Life Cultivation Into Daily Living
Rather than keeping practice separate from life, the aim is for you to begin to weave life cultivation into your everyday moments. This integration supports true change that is gentle, yet effective.

Connect in a Supportive Community
You’ll be surrounded by others on a similar path. Together, we’ll explore life’s deeper questions with sincerity, compassion, and a shared purpose.

Build Trust in Your Own Capacity to Change
Through the journey, you’ll begin to strengthen trust not only in the teachings or in others, but in YOURSELF. In your ability to make real, meaningful change.

The Hearing House (354 Trafalgar Square, Nelson 7010)

Ren Xue is a life-enhancing cultivation system consisting of teachings, theories and practices. This body of knowledge is effectively put into action in one's own life through the use of Qigong practices called Yuan Gong. The Yuan Gong system is made up of 9 different methods to work comprehensively on all aspects of life: the physical body, our life force (Qi), our heart and our consciousness to bring about positive changes in our lives. We have a 2 hour session at the venue, with the 1 hour spent practising Yuan Gong together and the rest of the session for informal socialising, tea & cake.

Whether you have just done one Ren Xue/Qigong workshop, are a long-term student or teacher, these Monthly Full Moon Gatherings are an opportunity to support and inspire each other, and benefit from each other's growth. Come for a practice, a chat and a cup of tea!

We are a group of Ren Xue and Qigong teachers who work together to organise these Full Moon events, as well as other events during the year. Each Full Moon event is hosted by two of the teachers who are there on the day.

A 12-Session Journey to Bring Back the Light with the Help of Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong is a tool specifically designed to allow a natural sense of calm and clarity to return. In this relaxed and deeply calm state (our natural state of being to life, really!), we can experience a sense of lightness or even joy. 

A powerful, gentle form of Qigong rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, Yuan Gong works with the body, energy, and consciousness to restore balance and well-being. During the 12 Week programme, we will practice simple and gentle exercises that are suitable for all ages and body types. No previous experience necessary.

Anyone who desperately wants to feel better & has no idea what Yuan Gong is. All ages, all abilities, all body types welcome.

• Practical tools to boost emotional and physical resilience.
• Simple daily energy practices to restore vitality.
• A supportive community to share and grow with. (Join the What's App Group!)
• A renewed sense of clarity, warmth, and peace.

A 10-Session Journey to Take your Work on Life Deeper with the Help of Yuan Gong.

A mix of methods will be practised over the 10 weeks, including Still Qigong (Dantian Breathing, Tong Yuan and Ling Yuan). The moving practices 1 to 2, or 1 to 4, may be practised depending on the participants, but the practices themselves will not be the main focus of the sessions. Rather, the emphasis will be on taking the practice to a deeper level through our understanding of the Ren Xue theories and teachings, with time allocated for this during each session.

Anyone who wants to improve their life and who is already familiar with Yuan Gong practices, even if only a little. A basic understanding of Ren Xue will help, but is not essential.

• A supportive, shared space for reflection, learning, and growth.
• A deeper connection to your Yuan Gong practice.
• Increased awareness, stability, and inner calm.
• Greater clarity and insight through the Ren Xue teachings.
• Tools to integrate the principles of Ren Xue into daily life.
• Renewed inspiration and motivation in your personal life cultivation.
