Chi Kung Teacher Training Programme:
During this 14 month training course you will gain an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of Chi Kung.
The course is designed to be a journey of self exploration where you will realise your energetic potential and develop the skills to pass this on to others.
Using ancient wisdoms combined with modern techniques, the College of Elemental Chi Kung provides a safe and supportive environment in which to grow personally, and to develop the skills to teach Chi Kung to your own students.
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 and functions, Traditional Chinese Medical concepts and Taoist philosophies
Course Format:
The course is run over 14 months in order to give students time to mature their practice and gain a comprehensive knowledge of Chi Kung. There are 10 x 3 day seminars designed in order to deepen into the experience of the work.
The course will be a mixture of in person and online teaching. There is also the option to take the course online only - this option will gain you a Certificate of Attendance.
Each day will be from 10am to 5pm 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. Between seminars you will be given home study and expected to develop a daily Chi Kung practice for which you will be asked to keep a diary.
Assessment and Graduation:
Students will be assessed through continuous tutor assessment, self assessment and submission of home study exercises and projects. Students will be graduated upon successful completion of these elements.
Application and Entry requirements:
All applicants are required to have maturity, commitment and enthusiasm towards Chi Kung. Formal qualifications are not required but ability to study is essential, and each applicant is assessed and interviewed on a personal basis. Please contact us for an application form or fill in the application form online.
