Ancestry & Destiny
It might be assumed that we are held, powerless, in the grip of our ancestral past. It may equally be supposed that our future is incontrovertibly mapped out and thus immutable. In my experience, nothing could be further from the truth.
Welcome into the realm of Ancestry & destiny!
A 3-day seminar
Our aim: to unravel threads from the "past" and lay up favourable timelines for the "future".
Our method: alchemical movement, meditation and touch techniques drawn from:
- modern, but more specifically ancient, heritage
- timelessness beyond space
The reason all of this is possible is that time is not linear.
Neither is it cyclical; it is spiral in form.
Contents:

- Internal Dragons (Source unknown)
- External Dragons (Source unknown)

Join the Adventure
Trauma can arise in a variety of different ways and affects each individual differently. For some, it just takes a talk with a friend and a cup of tea and the issue is already healing. For others it can take a lifetime or more to shift. This all depends on the severity and duration of the trauma, as well as other factors, both internal (sensitivity, constitution, karmic patterns) and external (support or lack of, therapeutic interventions either appropriate or inappropriate).
We will be addressing trauma from our current lifetime on earth, as well as ancestral trauma accumulating from the generations before our birth or lives before this one.
Chinese medicine has undergone many shifts and pendulum swings through the at least 4 thousand years of its existence. Like all medicine, it has its roots in shamanism. This three-day course will be a journey through the ancient and modern practices of Oriental medicine relating to clearing, cleaning and wiping the slate and setting up new, more favourable timelines.
These subjects are close to my heart and constitute the core of the work I have been doing these past thirty years, clearing personal, karmic and ancestral trauma.
We will meet both modern and mythical characters from the past and present of Oriental medicine and trace our tradition all the way back to its shamanistic roots. We will also be using a channeled Qigong form called Ling Gong (one of my most precious gems) to access the power of the universal soul, the Numinous: The Ling.

Testimonials

Marie-Claude Rioux
"First of all, Chris is truly an experienced teacher. He has extraordinary energy, dynamism and wisdom. During this course, he was able to restore creativity, intuition and fluidity to the forefront in my shiatsu practice. Having studied visual arts in my early twenties, I have the impression of rediscovering this artist who had somewhat fallen asleep within me! Over the last year, I have continued to nourish my curiosity about the meaning of acupuncture points. The images that emerge are so clear that they now fit naturally into my hands to follow the movement of Qi during shiatsu sessions."
