Gdansk
Led by: Ron Timm
Over the year, we will organise five weekend workshops. These will enable you to work systematically and in depth on specific issues. Workshops in this format give you a solid foundation, provide a comprehensive introduction to qi work, allow you to deeply experience the effects of the exercises and the method and provide the space needed for transformation to take place.
During this workshop cycle, we’ll explore the basic principles and develop skills in working with the body and qi. The Gdańsk workshops can be easily combined into a year-long foundation course in Qi Gong.
introduction to qi gong practice
| Gdansk | 25 – 26 January 2025 |
Two one-day sessions that complement each other wonderfully, offering both an introduction for newcomers and a deepening of the basics for experienced adepts. The workshop will focus on body-mind harmony, with a particular emphasis on spinal health – a key element for Qi Gong practice and daily wellbeing.
| Gdansk | 26 – 27 April 2025 |
dao yoga and advanced daoist breathing
Reverse breathing and compression breathing are breathing methods in advanced Qi Gong, Taijiquan and meditation. Dao Yoga postures allow us to open, compress and use different spaces in the body to breathe. In this workshop, we will specifically develop and “breathe” the sides of the body (liver and spleen breathing) and the lower back (kidney breathing).
the six dragons exercise of bagua zhang
| Gdansk | 28 – 29 June 2025 |
The Six Dragon Exercises can be seen as a Qi Gong companion to the Bagua Zhang practice. They prepare the body by affecting the ligaments, tendons and fascia, increasing their flexibility and range of movement, but also the soft tissue, including the internal organs. In this way, after a long period of concentrated practice, they lead to the formation of the “Dragon Body”, with its characteristic soft and dynamic flexibility.
taijiquan - cloud hands & the five directions form
| Gdansk | 30 – 31 August 2025 |
Based on the Qi Gong principles of Qi circulation, blood and fluids in the body, we will learn one of the basic Taijiquan movements: “Hands moving like Clouds”. It harmonises the interaction of the right and left hemispheres of the brain, increases our coordination skills, gently strengthens the back, opens the hips and has a calming effect on the nervous system.
zifa gong - spontaneous qi gong, leading and following
| Gdansk | 25 – 26 October 2025 |
In this workshop we are introduced to the practice of Qi Gong without forms. With all our senses directed inwards, we come into deep contact with Qi and its movements. Following Qi in its natural and spontaneous expression not only releases blockages, but also allows us to experience true authenticity.
buddha-hands - healing hands
| Gdansk | 13 – 14 December 2025 |
For manual therapists, musicians, artists and anyone who likes their hands and uses them. This special Qi Gong set will connect our heart and hands, making them softer and more sensitive.

breathwork, cultivation of stillness and daoist meditation
| Warsaw | 8 – 9 February 2025 |
Meditation is more than (just) sitting still. We will practise stillness work and meditation in sitting, standing and walking positions, which will also facilitate the integration of the experiences and insights gained into our daily lives. We will learn introductory Qi Gong and Daoist Breathing exercises. This will help us to get in touch with our inner calm and support meditation.
kotau – between heaven and earth
| Warsaw | 5 – 6 April 2025 |
From a Qi Gong perspective, a flexible, upright and strong spine promotes a harmonious and organised flow of Qi, provides a basis for spiritual work and provides access to higher levels of consciousness. The class will benefit your back, strengthen the correct alignment of your body and musculoskeletal system. You will become more aware of your spine and posture and feel more alive and vital.
yang sheng - nourishing life
| Warsaw | 14 – 15 June 2025 |
Over two days, we will devote ourselves to the fundamental practice of energy work. This method is called Yang Sheng (Care for Life). Eastern medicine has developed this path to cultivate longevity, not only in terms of extending life span, but more in terms of quality of life.
qi gong walking – “health comes from the legs”
| Warsaw | 6 – 7 September 2025 |
Walking activates all the body’s pumps, thus improving the circulation of Qi, blood and fluids. In particular, it supports the return flow of blood through the venous system. The Qi Gong walking practice naturally reinforces the positive effects of walking. This practice literally “puts you on your feet”: it develops strength and endurance (of the legs), allows our feet to return to life and health, and helps our backs.
„growing roots“ - how to ground the energy with qi gong practice
| Warsaw | 15 – 16 November 2025 |
Qi Gong practice always involves grounding methods. In order to be able to work with Qi (energy) and work with it safely, it must be grounded at the outset and always during the practice. In this workshop, we will look at the inner mechanics and ways in which we can sink Qi by connecting with the body, connecting with the Earth, and therefore grounding ourselves and putting down roots.
Krakow

qi gong and the spine – “the awakening of the spine”
| Krakow | 1 – 2 March 2025 |
The spine is an expression of the midline and a central channel in the body. A flexible, fit and aware spine is crucial not only for health and well-being, but also for the effectiveness of Qi Gong exercises. The exercises are simple and have a good effect on the condition of the back.
„growing roots“ - how to ground the energy with qi gong practice
| Krakow | 24 – 25 May 2025 |

Na tym warsztacie przyjrzymy się wewnętrznej mechanice i sposobom, dzięki którym możemy zatapiać Qi, łącząc się z ciałem, łącząc się z Ziemią, a więc się uziemiając i zapuszczając korzenie.
rising and sinking – waking the qi
| Krakow | 29 – 30 November 2025 |

Student‘s voices
I found out about Ron from the person that I trust. You can’t trust online reviews so much, but if you’re wondering if meeting Ron is for you, you can only trust your intuition.
For me, work with Ron was about exploring fundamental levels and changing habits that were harmful to my body. He is a real teacher, and before I met him, I didn’t know I needed his teachings so badly.
Meeting and starting work with Ron was for me to settle again in my body. Confrontation with the old tension and bringing consciousness back into closed, forgotten, and lifeless parts of the body is like being born again.
When I started practicing Qigong, my life has completely transformed in both the private and professional parts. On my way of life, I finally found a guide who teaches me to meet my own power and stand in it on my own feet - figuratively and literally.
Ron is an exceptionally gifted teacher. Several workshops and retreats I’ve participated in gave me a much deeper understanding of the energy of my body and mind. Ron’s dedication and precision helps me to bring knowledge and experience from lessons to my life. Everyday practice allows me to overcome everyday stress or obstacles and stimulate personal growth.
I have been participating regularly for 10 years in Qi Gong workshops led in Poland by Ron and I practice every day as much as possible. I keep fit and healthy at the age of 75. I can also help my patients better (I have been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine for 30 years now). I have a lot of liking for Ron for the fact that he smoothly combines very high expectations and requirements of participants and his own with support and care. He is perfect in his teachings not for the fact that he goes into detailed technical instructions but that he can consistently communicate the essence and depth of Qi Gong.
During every session, I experience the immediate use of this practice. First of all, my physical and mental presence increases. Thanks to Ron’s very logical and pragmatic explanations, concepts are revealed to me which slowly merge as a big whole. Ron teaches principles that go beyond the sheer physical motions and extend to all my areas of life. Absolutely mindblowing.
I've been on inner search for over twenty years. Ron is the teacher I always wanted to meet. Practice under his guidance, universal wisdom he gives us is something unique in this crazy world, where pseudo-teachers multiplied. I wished only to have more time to practice because it results in my greater peace of heart and better vitality. At the end of each workshop and retreat I thank him personally or quietly in my mind with words 'Thank you, Ron for being here.
Ron Timm is a master teacher, an expert in his field. If you want guidance with learning how to meditate or starting a daily Qi Gong practice – look no further. I can highly recommend his healing classes & energizing retreats where you’ll be introduced to mindful exercises which will quickly produce noticeable benefits on all levels – mind, body and soul. Get started today!
Through the work with Qi I can develop a more subtle and more differentiated perception, which enlarges my diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. At the same time, I learn to deal with my own energetic resources. The basic understanding of Qi, which we develop during the trainings is not only a support in the professional field, but facilitates every aspect of my life. Ron has the skill to transport the deep wisdoms of Daoism with clarity, pragmatism, lightness and contagious enthusiasm.
Between the age of 12 and 23 I sustained several concussions and whiplashes. I suffered from reduced mobility in the area of the cerebral spine as well as from strong tiredness after any effort. Through Qi Gong I found back to my mobility.
After several years of Taiji with another teacher I was surprised how little basic knowledge I had. In a short time with Ron (and intense private lessons) I got important insights and strongly demanding exercises. With Ron I feel seen, challenged and supported.
