In a world that is directed outwards, he shows the way inwards.
Shifu Zuan’s teachings and commitment are characterized by a deep connection with the traditional Chinese Arts, which he not only practices but also integrates into everyday life.
His approach combines Philosophy, Daoism and Buddhism, which is adapted to a modern way of life. His deep wisdom and understanding of the integration of Eastern Wisdom into everyday life is one of his biggest presents.
Shifu Zuan serves as a guide on a path to self-realization and self- discovery. He gives the tools and encourages his students to walk their path independently, to awaken their true power and discover their true nature.
The Journey Into Oneself 3 Gates Teaching serves as a bridge between Eastern practices and our Daily Life struggles. A practice that teaches us how to balance movement and stillness. From pushing through to knowing when to stop. From control to knowing when to let go. From burnout to true power.
AWARENESS | Seeing Yourself
Cultivate the ability to connect to your awareness. Perceive yourself with clarity and learn to understand yourself.
RESISTANCE | Stop Fighting Reality
Understand how resistance shows in your physical body as tension and become aware of it. Exit the 'fight mode" and allow yourself, others and life to simply be.
LETTING GO | Release Control
Become aware of what you are holding onto - in your mental, physical and emotional body. Release the tensions you carry within and experience lightness.
Everyone is welcomed to join, practitioners and non-practitioners from all walks of life.
