Unlock the Mysteries of the Taoist Kan and Li (坎 and 离) with Professor Andrew Jan, PhD
2-6 June 2025, Berlin

Join us for a transformative five-day meditation course designed to guide you through the ancient Taoist alchemical practices of Kan (坎) and Li (离). Experience the profound coupling of fire (离) and water (坎), or Yin (阴) and Yang (阳), as we lead you to the essence of the marriage of Heaven and Earth and the final doorway to the wonders of Nothingness (无极/Wu Ji) and Oneness (皇极/Huang Ji).

This course, led by Professor Andrew Jan, PhD, a renowned author (including Greater (大) and Greatest Kan and Li (最大坎离)) and practitioner with over 30 years of teaching these high-level practices, offers a streamlined yet deep dive into the Kan and Li meditative practices. Through his expertise, you will experience firsthand the dissolution of the body’s blockages, enabling your mind to expand beyond the self and embrace a spirit or formless identity.

Over five days (note that you can enrol for individual days if needed), you’ll explore the following three levels:

• Lesser Kan and Li (小坎离) - 2 June: One focused day of clearing blockages in the hollow and solid organs and their meridians to dissolve the body and transcend the self.

• Greater Kan and Li (大坎离) - 3-4 June: Two days of working with the solar plexus coupling, learning to leave the physical body with consciousness and spirit, and expanding your mind to encompass the vastness of the solar system.

• Greatest Kan and Li (最大坎离) - 5-6 June: Delve into the highest level of Taoist practice, where the mind can expand to the limits of the observable universe. Connect to the constellations, leading to an experience of the ultimate state of Oneness (皇极/Huang Ji) or Nothingness (无极/Wu Ji).

Professor Andrew Jan brings unparalleled insight to this rare opportunity, combining academic research with three decades of teaching and personal practice, including teaching these practices in about 20 darkroom retreats at the Tao Garden. His teachings promise to lead you toward profound spiritual expansion.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to study with a true master during his visit to Berlin. Enroll now and prepare for a life-changing experience that will revolutionize your meditation practice and expand your consciousness to cosmic proportions.
