Tai Chi, men’s work and ceremony with Nico Galvan, online and in the Andes of Ecuador.
Three paths
Wu Dang Tai Chi
Online · one-to-oneTai Chi, the application and study of mindfulness in everyday life, has been the backbone of my life, and it is now available to you online.
Men’s Work
Online mentorship · retreatsA supportive space for men to build confidence, find steadiness, and live with greater authenticity.
Ceremonies & Retreats
In person · EcuadorIn-person retreats and experiences offer you a profound opportunity to connect, with yourself, with the natural world and with traditions carried through ceremony.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin
My own path began with yoga, which helped me recover after knee surgery and led me to Tai Chi. I spent my first year learning one-on-one with my teacher, Sahu, of the Ptah Khi School in London.
Since then I’ve walked the ceremonial path with Taita Aldo Curiquinge, through Sundance, Star Dances and the Camino Rojo. Today I bring both together, to help you build confidence, find calm and develop real strength.
“I remember the feeling and sound of his bones as we practised pushing hands.”
