Summer break here in Christchurch is from 27 Dec - 21 January 2010

Wishing you a wonderful time to unwind and connect with your family and friends!

Check the Healing Love one-day-workshop in Devonport, Auckland – 31 Jan 2010. It will be a great opportunity to learn more about connecting the heart energy with your sexuality.

Together with Mana Retreat Centre in Coromandel, I worked out a favourable arrangement for every “pocket” to join and learn more of the DAO (=Tao).

I might see you then :-)

A Taste of the Dao
_{Transform emotions, purify the body, calm the mind, free the spirit}

12-14 February $370 includes tuition ($150) & shared accommodation with linens, delicious, gourmet vegetarian meals.

A self care healing workshop where you will learn practices to move the nervous system from stress into relaxation. Learn how to boost your immune system, the health of your organs and your mental clarity. Open your heart and balance your emotions.

Coming back from Mantak Chia’s event in Auckland, the Universal Healing Tao has become more recognized within New Zealand. The workshops were well attended, and a big success. I really enjoyed being there.

Consequently, there is a lot of interest in becoming an instructor and teaching these self healing exercises in New Zealand. Tao Motion offers training to become an Associate Instructor.  I offer this training in cooperation with other certified instructors. I am looking forward to offering the second training retreat next year in New Zealand.
Together with Renu Li (http://www.taomotion.com/en/profile/renu-li/)  I trained more than 80 trainees who passed the tests successfully in German speaking countries.

I am looking forward to continuing this training here in New Zealand.

Hi Everyone,

from on the 24 - 30 April you can meet me here:

Mantak Chia - the originator of the Universal Healing Tao System - comes to New Zealand for the first time!

Fairway Conference Centre, Takapuna, Auckland 24 - 30 April 

Master Mantak Chia, voted World Qi Gong Master in 1990 by the World Qi Gong Congress, has spent his life studying healing methods from both the West and East. Over the years he has blended these techniques into a school of healing called ‘The Universal Tao’, the practices of which give an individual a set of simple tools for looking after their own mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Not only does its preventative healthcare approach avoid the onset of illness, it also enhances one’s sense of life enjoyment. An added bonus seems to be a number of noticeable anti-aging and rejuvenating effects. Over the years Mantak Chia has undergone much research to prove scientifically the benefits of the practices.
 
Chia has also authored over 40 titles including ‘Energy Balance through the Tao - Exercises for Cultivating Yin Energy’, ‘Taoist Ways to Transform Stress into Vitality’ and ‘The Inner Structure of Tai Chi’. He is perhaps most widely recognized for his best-seller ‘Multi-Orgasmic’ book series which includes ‘The Multi-Orgasmic Couple’, ‘Multi-Orgasmic Woman’ and ‘Multi-Orgasmic Man’, which teach people how they can use their innate life-force energy for rejuvenation, self-healing and life enjoyment.
