Teacher Training Programme in Auckland
The overall intention of the training is to present Chi Kung as a way to relate to expressions of life forces within the human system.
In particular to listen and be aware of how you are, to become more present with body dynamics and movements of Chi within the body and mind.
The training will teach the following skills: - self reflection
- stability and groundedness
- stillness of mind and body
- sensitivity to Chi
- use of intention
- synchronicity of movement, along with an understanding and appreciation of the body's structure, traditional chinese medical concepts and taoist philosophy.
Course FormatThe course is run over two years in order to give students time to mature their practice and gain a comprehensive knowledge of Chi Kung. Each year there will be five 4 day seminars designed in order to deepen into the experience of the work.
Each day will be from 10.00-5.00 with a lunch and tea breaks. Attendance is mandatory. Any missed days need to be made up with individual tutorial sessions with one of the tutors. These are not covered in the course fee and must be paid for separately. Where practically possible there is a practice day between each seminar to review previous material. Attendance is optional.
Between seminars you will be given homestudy and expected to develop a daily Chi Kung practice for which you will be asked to keep a diary. For those wishing to teach, after the first year you will need to set up a practice class for teaching Chi Kung in order to develop your skills of teaching and presenting. Teacher Training Programme
