Upcoming Classes, Workshops and Courses
“Mastering the internal arts of Tai Chi and Chi Kung is about turning the senses inwardly and identifying the myriad of feelings (forces) in the body. With time these feelings are recognised as ‘forces’ or ‘chi’ - and learning to not only merge them but direct them.”

Testimonials Private mentorship:
"When Andrew Jan and I first met at a martial arts seminar many years ago I was immediately impressed by his knowledge and dedication to the martial and healing arts. In that moment I resolved to seek him out and have him teach me the Universal Healing Tao system. Over the years he has guided me to the highest levels of the UHT practice and I am very grateful for all the lessons I have learnt under his tutelage.
In my own journey I have studied many spiritual and healing practices with some amazing teachers, yet I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Andrew Jan is a true master of his craft and the greatest mentor I have had in my life. Andrew is more than a mentor to me, he is my friend, he is my brother, he is my fellow traveller on the Path. Eternal thanks Andrew, it is my great honour that we walk this path together."

"Surrounded by infinite chaos, we have turned fantasy into consciousness. Doctor Andrew's poetry has guided our practice in darkness, turning heaven and earth, into the great white light."

“I’ve practiced the Lesser, Greater, and Greatest Kan & Li practices with Dr. Andrew, and it was by far the most transformative experience I’ve had in my spiritual journey. Dr. Andrew has an incredible ability to guide and teach students with clarity, patience, and deep wisdom. His presence creates a safe and powerful space for genuine inner transformation. I’m deeply grateful for his guidance and for the insights and energetic shifts I experienced through these practices.”

Unlock the Mysteries of Advanced Taoist Alchemy:
Sealing of the Five Senses, Ecstatic Spirit Flight and The Grand Completion (Journey to the Nothingness and Earthly return)
With Andrew Jan, PhD
22–26 May 2026, Berlin
Andrew Jan — Inner Alchemy Immortality Branch (Part 2)
Formulas 7–9: Sealing · Spirit Flight · Nothingness · Return
Formula 7 — Sealing of the Five Senses (May 22–23, 2026)
Over two days we refine the three subtle cauldrons of perception — the Tip of the Nose Cauldron (divine kiss), the Third Eye Cauldron (inner vision), and the Crystal Palace Cauldron (cosmic stillness). These complete the physical cauldron cycle and prepare the practitioner to enter Wújí (无极), the vast field of sacred Nothingness.
Formula 8 — Ecstatic Spirit Flight & Congress of Heaven and Earth (May 24–26, 2026)
This advanced stage integrates all Nine Cauldrons into a single luminous consciousness. The cauldron sequence covered includes the Lower Dantian, Solar Plexus, Heart, Tip of the Nose, Third Eye, Crystal Palace, Energy Body, Solar System, Earth Cauldron (anchored in Hòutǔ), Southern Cross (True Yin), and Polaris (True Yang).
At this level the Yang Fire becomes the spirit-vehicle — dragon, phoenix, or crane — while the Yin Water becomes the inner landscape for travel. The merging of all cauldrons forms the Final Cauldron and opens entry into the Congress of Heaven and Earth.
Formula 9 — Journey into Nothingness & the Sacred Return
Two methods of entering Nothingness are taught: direct spirit-flight into the void, and the Sacred Kiss, compressing awareness into a single black point of light. From the void the practitioner returns to the Ten Thousand Things through the guidance of the Fuxi Bagua, the Earth Empress Hòutǔ, and the Qilin embodiment, re-entering life renewed and grounded in cosmic clarity.
Andrew Jan developed levels 8 & 9 of the Inner Alchemy Immortality Branch together with Grandmaster Mantak Chia.
