This is an opportunity for both beginners and seniors to deepen in one of the most important aspects of the art, whether you are new or experienced, this course will increase your level while you enjoy some great moments in a beautiful place.
What is Wahnam Taijiquan?
In life, for some reason, most of us think that we are happy when we are in static, familiar environment. If we do the same thing every single day, year after year, although we may be physically alive, our spirit would fall into a deep sleep. Ironically, when we are in an unfamiliar environment that is filled with movement, we become suddenly disturbed or unsettled. Most of us resist change. Taijiquan is the art of addressing this constant change and learning to become at peace with constant movement; so much so that our spirit becomes alive and daily living becomes a constant experience of flow and joy. This is Wahnam Taijiquan.
How can Wahnam Taijiquan benefit us in daily life?
The essence of Taijiquan is to move in complete harmony where the mind is not disturbed by movement or change. This principle can be applied even in a confrontational setting. Wahnam Taijiquan enables the practitioner to develop "still mind in harmony of movement" no matter what the situation is, be it returning damaged goods to a store; being struck by another car while driving; taming a wild, drunk, unhappy youth in a parking lot at night; or dealing with the death of a loved one.
What are the benefits of Wahnam Taijiquan?
Some benefits of Wahnam Taijiquan are that it enables the diligent practitioner to:
- a. Heal her/himself (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually)
- b. Maintain above-average vitality for daily living
- c. Skillfully manage stress so that one's life is enhanced, rather than burdened
- d. Protect her/his physical, emotional and mental space, as well as protecting her/his life and the lives of others
- e. Experience genuine joy and interest in daily living

SCHOLAR PROJECT WITH SIFU PITI:
Host: Sifu Rama
LIVING SHAOLIN TODAY!
Shaolin and the Art of Negotiation
An excellent opportunity for developing negotiation skills based on the Shaolin principles will be held at the Blue Mountain. An international communications expert in both the business and private worlds, Mr. Piti Parra Duque, gives you immediate and practical tools on how to negotiate, such that you will never again face a negotiation or "conflict" without knowing how to achieve a "win-win" situation!
This will be the first Scholar Project Workshop held in Latin America, giving people the opportunity to grow and develop not only the Shaolin arts but also the different aspects involved in becoming a Scholar Warrior, a warrior with life skills that will help to achieve excellent results in work, personal relationships and daily life activities.
Course Objectives:
- • Acquire tools, skills, and techniques to negotiate more efficiently.
- • Focus on a paradigm where a negotiation is an interaction whose aim is to maximize value for the maximum of the parties involved.
- • A negotiation is an interaction of any kind; colleagues, spouse, client -- any interaction
-
• The ability to view interactions from the perspective of Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung, Wahnam Tai Chi Chuan, and Shaolin Kungfu
What Makes this Workshop Exceptional and Different from other Workshops on Negotiation:
The workshop will be divided in the two following modules:
- Module 1: Foundations for Full-Value Negotiations
- Module 2: Use of Conscious Energy Management through the Spoken Word
3 important aspects of the course content:
- Rational/Argumentative Part (Jing)
- Structured contract, conceptual structure of negotiation
- Price, services, project, characteristics, payment, etc..
- Emotional Aspect of Unconscious (Chi)
- Human Behavior During Negotiation
- Experiential/ Negotiation
