About the facilitator

In 1994 Richi moved to Australia after pursuing a professional tennis career on the ATP World tour. As destiny would have it, in that same year he discovered his teacher Master Xie Shoude from the Academy of Chi Advancement. This was to become the beginning of an incredible journey of almost 20 years of extensive training and discovery in the ancient alchemy, energy and self-mastery of Tai Chi, Qigong and Ying Yang Bhaguazhan. ​ 

Richi is not a self-proclaimed guru or master, but simply a fellow spiritual aspirant who loves to share his experiences and grow together with others, for their benefit. ​ 

Richi shares a holistic program (mind, body and spirit) that is focused around his personal journey, the challenges of learning to let go on many levels and yield to “what is”. This starts at body level and aims at empowering YOU to discover what may be blocking or inhibiting your natural flow. Then, through self-awareness and letting go, the release/relief can be found. The movements are purposefully gentle and slow, so as to invite you to go deep within, while at the same time increasing your vital force (chi) and energetic shield. Whilst this practice is a martial art, the focus is not on fighting skills but rather on leaning towards the cultivation of your inherent energy and life force.
