General:
In February this year 2020 I started practicing Yuan Gong with Vanessa and Ollie believing this would help quieten my busy head chat and help me sleep. 5 months on, mid July I’m not only feeling calmer, I have the benefit of more clarity, focus, energy and creative flow. I am working on an exhibition opening November 2020 and I am truely grateful for the support Ollie & Vanessa bring to being my true self. My goal this year is to own and shine my light and I am confidently feeling this happening.

Thank you for a great retreat. I feel propelled onto a healthier, looking-after-myself-well path.

Thanks so much for another fantastic retreat. I continue to make amazing progress with my health and my life because of your teaching and your support - so thank you :-)

I am reaping huge benefits from the weekend and the healing. I am appreciating a new depth in my relationship with Qi, or is it in me (or the Qi :) anyway it's all one and it's all good. I can hear all the resistance and old thoughts and patterns keep trying to do their thing but it's like we have a bad line..."sorry I can't really hear you"...and meant in the nicest possible way.
But transitions can be bumpy and when I got back to Christchurch my head spun out, finding all my worst fears had materialised. I went to sleep thinking what can I do to increase the peace and joy in my life? Woke 30 minutes later with the words very clearly in my head, 'trust the process' - and it was as good as a switch. Trust was an important part of the discussion at the retreat. Felt solid, solid as a rock.

Thanks again so much for an amazing weekend. I can't really explain the way I felt on return is was the most beautiful peaceful feeling. India and Alfie where very interested in what I had been doing, Alfie (6yrs) in particular had a great interest. We have been making "Cheese Balls" on our walks to school in the morning.
The funniest thing has happened and I can't seem to located my DVDs for methods 3 & 4 - this is something that would normally really annoy me, but I know whole heartily that this is the Universes way of telling me to be patient and continue practicing methods 1 & 2. I know it will appear when I need it.
I really have the upmost respect for you all and the dedication you apply to this practice. The benefits have and will continue to have a huge impact on my life and for this I am eternally grateful.

I really enjoyed the retreat, it went so fast ! I found the time away very insightful, especially relishing in meeting everyone as well as the different analogies teachers and other members of the group have of Qi experiences and flow of Qi (some descriptions clicked for me faster than others). It was a great family atmosphere with well crafted group dynamics, the location and scenery were just awesome, well done guys and thank you so much.
During and post Retreat I experienced some shifting of how I think about certain situations, and my consciousness of Qi enhancing and depleting environments has grown further since the retreat also. I found the individual healing session with Jackie very powerful. My practice has been reasonably steady and I have noticed feeling Qi significantly faster and even if I don't have time for a full practice can stop and gather some Qi or do a couple of squats and feel beautiful balancing Qi pretty quickly.
I will be attending March retreat. Thanks heaps guys,

Online Learning:
Hi Ollie,
I just wanted to say a great big thank you for yesterday (Greenpark Day Retreat 2020). It was such a pleasure to be there and see some familiar faces. My concern about sitting in front of the computer proved unfounded as we did lots of moving practice and the day was varied and interesting and I wouldn't have missed any of it. The Zoom meeting seemed to work really well thanks to your patience and it was a great idea to ask participants to speak up as everything said was pretty clear.
It will always be an honour to learn from you Vanessa, and Jackie. The day was filled with lots of light and I came away with a deeper understanding of the false self and some new thoughts on the practices and patterns.
I've sent some healing Qi to you for your cold and hope it gets better soon.
Warm wishes,
PS
"Thanks so much Vanessa for the experience to connect heart, mind and consciousness to hear guidance. You have a very beautiful way and created a loving field in which I could open and access what is true for me.
I feel light, clear, confident and full of enthusiasm. What a shift!!!!
My intention was to gain clarity and Confidence and I received a whole lot more than that!"

"I am relatively new to Ren Xue and Yuan Gong.
I found this wonderful life-enriching and life-healing study after going through treatment for breast cancer. I was also suffering with atrial fibrillation, a serious heart dysrhythmia.
I read a book called Radical Remission and looked at their website after fully enjoying the helpful, encouraging and inspiring book.
There on the website was a lovely video showing a student of Ren Xue Yuan Gong! She talked about her journey finding Qi Gong after she had experienced a cancer diagnosis.
I googled her and found her website where she was offering Skype Qi Gong lessons! She took me on as a student about two years ago. She kindly offered me a payment rate that I could afford on my retirement income. We have been meeting online almost weekly since then. Vanessa has inspired and healed my life! "

Dear Vanessa,
I am so enjoying this study!
I did the practice this morning with the DVD and here's what I think it caused:
1. I was able to understand my dog's crying and his barking at the cat better. I felt more compassionate and moved my hands over him and said calm calm calm now....He seems more settled and relaxed!
2. My garden was a mess after a wind storm....this has been bothering me for days and weeks!
I set my timer for 15 minutes and had the job done!
I noticed I didn't rush but calmly did each thing.
Now there are several things calling my attention and I am breathing and open and closing to stay in a peaceful state to decide my next project!
Thanks so much!
