Workshop 5-days (english)
The 2026 Berlin workshop presented an integrated intensive training in the complete Taoist-alchemical pathway of Mantak Chia's Universal Healing Tao® Formulas 8 and 9. Participants were guided through the full progression of
'Formula 7 - Sealing of the Five Senses',
'Formula 8 Ecstatic Spirit Flight - Congress of Heaven and Earth', and
'Formula 9 Grand Completion - Reunion of Human and Tao', experiencing the practices as a unified and coherent system.
Rather than studying each cauldron and formula as separate multi-year modules, the workshop employed an accelerated and immersive format that allowed practitioners to experience the entire alchemical journey while maintaining substantial depth of practice and understanding.
The training also marked the first public presentation of previously unpublished material from the advanced Taoist-alchemical curriculum developed by Grandmaster Mantak Chia and Andrew Jan. It serves as a foundation for future advanced trainings, upcoming books, and professionally produced instructional videos, where each stage of the system will be explored in considerably greater detail.
This course is intended exclusively for practitioners who already have advanced experience in these fields. For all other interested parties, more comprehensive and detailed course offerings will be available in Berlin (and online) 2027 and 2028.

These teachings are offered for educational and spiritual instruction and are not medical advice, diagnosis, or therapy. Traditional Taoist terms such as “healing,” “elixir,” “medicine,” or “pill” are used metaphorically and refer to inner cultivation rather than medical treatment.

These Taoist contemplative and breath-based practices may at times evoke emotional or psychological responses and are not suitable during pregnancy or during periods of significant emotional or psychological vulnerability. Participants with physical, medical, or psychological conditions, including significant trauma history or substance use, that may be affected by these practices, or those who feel unsure about their suitability, are recommended to seek appropriate professional guidance before participating. Teaching sessions may be recorded for educational purposes; no identifiable close-ups are intended, though voice or silhouette may appear incidentally.
