Presenter: Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee

Original Date: May 20, 2023

Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee will explore how Yang Shen (Nurturing life) develops the physical and physiological recovery (diet, working of the Qi as Qigong or Taiji, treatments acupuncture, phyto, etc.). She will also examine how the inner working of Yang Shen balance the mind and the emptiness of the heart; Elisabeth will discuss finding a root or a place to center oneself and what that means in context of being centered and in relation to what. She will explain how to reduce what brings and nourishes fear and how to have reason to find and follow a sense for a meaningful life.

From her website: "More than 40 years ago I started out on an incredible journey across ancient languages and civilizations, striving to penetrate the root of life and the essence of existence. Quite early on, I was drawn in particular to the chinese tradition, the wealth and beauty of which I was able to grasp thanks to my guides and mentors Claude Larre and Jean Schatz.

Ever since, I have continued to study the medical, confucian and taoist Classics, drawing from them essential and vital understandings which I try to communicate in turn as widely as possible to all those who share this passion.

My experience with study groups all over the world has shown that when a genuine exploration of traditional chinese texts is constantly rooted in clinical practice and confronted with personal experience, it allows the practitioner to develop his art, invigorate his thought and raise his vision and conduct.

By means of this rigorous research into the movements of the qi and in a constantly open exchange of knowledge and experience, I have relentlessly worked to cultivate a loving relationship to the other and to help the people I met improve their living experience."
