This deep diving retreat brings together two generations of dedicated practitioners, united by a shared commitment to preserving authentic Medical Qigong while making these teachings meaningful and accessible in contemporary life.
Over seven days, participants are invited into an immersive exploration of the Biyun Method of Medical Qigong, a tradition rooted in Taoist philosophy and refined through decades of clinical experience and dedicated practice.
Through movement, breath, meditation, and inner cultivation, the retreat offers practical tools for supporting vitality, cultivating inner balance, and deepening one’s relationship with life.
More than a learning experience, this gathering is an invitation to step out of the pace of everyday life and enter a space of presence, restoration, and embodied practice.
༄ Bridging Two Generations
One of the unique aspects of this retreat is the meeting between a lifetime devoted to preserving an authentic lineage and a new generation committed to carrying these traditions forward.
Master Fan Xiulan embodies decades of lived experience, healing, and compassionate service. Dr. Sebastian Smith brings the perspective of contemporary healthcare together with years of dedicated Taoist practice, helping illuminate how these timeless teachings can support life today.
Together, they create a bridge between ancient lineage and contemporary understanding, honouring the depth and integrity of tradition while exploring how Medical Qigong can become a meaningful and sustainable practice in everyday life.
༄ Dr. Sebastian Smith
Dr. Sebastian Smith is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and long time practitioner of Medical Qigong and Taoist internal cultivation.
Representing a younger generation of practitioners, Sebastian is dedicated to translating ancient wisdom into forms that can be understood and integrated within modern life. Through his work, he seeks to bridge traditional Chinese medicine, Taoist philosophy, and contemporary approaches to health and wellbeing.
His approach brings together clinical experience, dedicated practice, and a deep respect for lineage, helping illuminate how these timeless teachings can support contemporary life.
༄ Master Fan Xiulan
Few contemporary teachers have contributed as significantly to the introduction of Medical Qigong in Europe as Master Fan Xiulan.
Born into a family of physicians and qigong practitioners in Northern China, she inherited a healing lineage spanning several generations. From the age of six, she was taught by her grandmother, herself both physician and Medical Qigong master, receiving practices that had been carefully preserved within the family for generations.
Although she later stepped away from qigong, a life threatening illness in her thirties became a profound turning point. Returning to the teachings she had received as a child, she devoted herself to intensive practice and experienced a remarkable recovery. This experience became the foundation of her life’s work and inspired the development of what is now known as the Biyun Method.
Today, the Biyun Method is one of Scandinavia’s most widely practised systems of Medical Qigong, with more than 130,000 people in Sweden having learned the practice. It has also been recognised and applied within Swedish healthcare as a complementary, health promoting method. We have the honor of having Master Fan with us for three full days of the retreat.
༄ The Biyun Method
At the heart of the Biyun Method lies a simple yet profound understanding: when movement, breath, awareness, and relaxation are cultivated together, the body’s innate capacity for balance and restoration can emerge naturally.
Rather than beginning with demanding postures or complex techniques, the method starts with gentle, accessible movements that support the natural circulation of Qi throughout the body.
The practice integrates:
• Gentle, flowing movement
• Natural breathing
• Relaxed concentration
• Awareness of the body’s energetic pathways
• Harmony between body, mind, and nature
༄ Accessible to people of all ages and levels of experience, the practice invites practitioners not to force change, but to relax deeply and allow vitality to arise from within.
