Chi Nei Tsang
Certified Training ✨Experiential Retreat✨
9 - 16 of October 2024
Listen to and understand your body, so you can hear and understand the universe!
We invite you on a transformative journey at a remote 17th century mansion. We’ll be surrounded by beautiful forest and mountains in a lush Provençal valley at the feet of the majestic French Alps.
The art and science of Chi Nei Tsang is the most powerful somatic technique that nourishes us, and cleanses and releases negative emotions and sick energy from our internal organs and from the whole body. The 2500 year old practice comes from the Chinese medicine tradition.
Explore the alchemical combination of the physical, emotional and energetic levels of the body for holistic therapeutic healing and integration for the whole organism!
Learn techniques and methods to heal yourself and others, and to become aware of yourself throughout your temple—your body—that has the knowledge, wisdom and divine consciousness to teach us about ourselves and guide us in life.
More than a training, this is a holistic experience. Supportive, healing activities will compliment the lessons for smoother integration, deeper understanding, and experiential learning!
You will be interacting with animals, trees, plants, the soil, and the elements to deepen your understanding of and connection to Mother Earth, and come home to (your own) nature. Morning Chi Kung practices will prepare you for the lessons and protect your energy. In the evenings we will release, integrate and ground through restorative yoga, breathwork, and Ecstatic Dance.

About the facilitators
Charilaos
Charilaos began his deep spiritual journey and bodywork in 2006: studying yoga, tantra, and practicing vipassana. The universe knocked on his door in 2012, when he found a mentor and went to Thailand to study the art of Thai yoga massage. He had the opportunity to learn and experience different styles from some of the great masters such as Pichest, Mantak Chia, Sinchai, and Mr. Nat (School for the Blind). Nowadays he is an authorized teacher of Chi Nei Tsang (Chinese Taoist medicine) and Thai massage and continues to teach and offer private healing sessions around the world.
Over years of practice and following his intuition, Charilaos has created his own style of therapeutic massage and energy healing. The techniques he uses in his sessions are from many different traditions like Chi Nei Tsang, deep tissue treatment, shiatsu, cosmic healing, acupressure, Thai medicine, craniosacral techniques, and myofascial release.
The name Charilaos means “benevolence towards people.” So he discovered that one of his life purposes is to help people through massage. He is also a chef, natural builder and cultivates his own food. As such, he is always connected to Mother Earth, as this makes him capable of deeper and more therapeutic massages and classes!
Hannah
Hannah is a yoga teacher, Ecstatic Dance DJ, and nature lover. As a child she was introduced to yoga by her anthropologist grandmother, and in 2009 she started her 500+ hour teacher training (Saswitha School for Yoga & Philosophy in the Netherlands). In her classes, she combines traditional hatha yoga with the inquiries of Donna Farhi and the simple tension-releasing movements that have come out of vagus nerve research.
Music is another big passion—especially singing and composition—and she found Ecstatic Dance to be the perfect crossroads of music, movement, healing, and pure joy.
