Our first TCM Wellness Study & Explore Tour to China (May 7-21, 2017) was a huge success, and the participants had overwhelmingly positive and unforgettable experience.\u00a0 If you know any of the participants, you know what I am talking about.\u00a0 If not, here are a few comments and feedback, which say it better than any word I can use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u201cBetter than expected, and everyday there was a new experience, a new surprising\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cA transformational trip for me. I needed it very much and it is setting new directions for me\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cI liked all the varied activities about wellness, the Qigong, lectures and learning, the food (especially 16 cold & 16 hot-dish banquet), the cultural experience, the tea ceremony, the monastery, meditating in cave, all of the treatments.\u00a0 I loved everything!\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cIt was unbelievable every day!\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThis trip to China was unlike anything you would ever do, see, taste or experience as a regular tourist. If you are looking to understand TCM, Qigong, traditional food choices for health and healing, and to see things the average person on a visit does not see, this is the trip for you!\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cIt was a comprehensive 10-day journey of a beautiful country studying the heart, mind and soul of the most important medicine, Energy medicine. With Kevin\u2019s scientific credentials and contacts in China he gave us a gift of extraordinary knowledge and many healthy lifestyle techniques that are invaluable. The generosity of spirit and gifts of treatments, knowledge and wisdom were filled with a hospitality and grace of the best from China’s culture and people.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cI learned that a person\u2019s emotional health is key to physical health. I enjoyed the country and the people very much. The accommodations, food, and tour guides were all wonderful.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThanks for organising such a great trip and allowing me to tag along from the UK. You must have put a huge amount of effort into it but it was worth it (especially from our point of view), because it was so unique with so many different interesting things to do\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cIt was a fantastic experience. I got to see some incredibly beautiful places with a wonderful group of people while learning about both ancient and modern approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I enjoyed the trip and experience as much as everyone else since I also learned and improved through the tour.\u00a0 Given the positive feedback and encouragement I decide to continue offering such Wellness tour as long as my time permits.\u00a0 Our next TCM Wellness Tour to China will take place in October 18-31, and the itinerary will be slightly different from the last one since I am going to co-host the 2017 Guolin Xin Qigong Wuyishan English Camp<\/a> from October 8 to 19, and our Wellness tour will start at the Mount Wuyi, the world culture and natural dual heritage, and a national 5A-class tourist attraction.\u00a0 This 2-week TCM wellness tour is designed for those who want to go close to mother-nature, study with the genuine healers and masters, and experience the TCM wellness (yang-sheng) practices in person, while enjoying the breath-taking scenery and traditional culture exploration in China.<\/p>\n
