Dear Parents,
Our organisation is offering your children a journey; a wonderful adventure that you may choose to take part in too. It is not a traditional training class or camp; you will witness dynamic and inspiring aspects of Chinese culture.
With its five-thousand-year history, Chinese culture is the only continuous ancient civilization. Many notable Western intellectuals have looked up to Chinese culture, and today its influence continues, improving people’s health both psychologically and physically through qigong, Daoism, Buddhism, traditional Chinese medicine, Confucianism, martial arts and the Yi Jing. Some contemporary philosophers and psychiatrists have found cures for Western illnesses in Chinese knowledge. We believe that the way to achieving world peace, harmony, health and longevity can be discovered in Chinese culture.
The International Children’s Class will be held in the Wudang Mountains Scenic Reserve, Shiyan, Hubei Province. It will run for 21 days, from July 25 to August 14. Experts from both China and abroad will be working together to provide a unique and eye-opening experience for your children. We have also created a workshop for those of you accompanying your children, enabling you to share in their experiences while improving your own health and wellbeing. (If you are not able to come to China, we can arrange for some European teachers to accompany your child/children on your behalf.) Stay amidst beautiful mountain scenery and combine travel with learning about the art of good health.
