Unique opportunity for retreatcentre in China
Monday, December 14, 2009 10:23:04 AM
Dear friends of the Yin Yang Center and the International Oriental College
I humbly ask you for your financial support..

As part of the developments with students and the school we have been offered a piece of land and two farm houses in the cleft of Baima mountain range (white horse, China). This range is not only the origin of the Wudangpai, but it is also a relative secluded area very comfortable for retreats and prolonged periods of practice and retirement when practitioners become older and wish to prepare for the next stage of life.
There is no such place available for westerners right now, so this one will be the first and will have the support of Shifu You Xuande as well as other Zhengyi leaders and alchemists so that we can provide even more access to relevant information for our personal development, the development of Chinese medicine studies and Taiji Gongfu.
The costs of the project as a whole will be less then 80.000 euro to buy, clean and make it liveable and possibly provide a car for transport. The place is an L shaped school building, with a play square and two farm houses which will provide community places, classrooms and living quarters, and eventually a covered practice room suitable for winter practice and rain. There are caves for cave retreats, forest, wildlife and other entertainments. The whole place has some land also for growing some crops and is separated from the road by a small river with an old stone bridge.
The school sees this as a great opportunity for its long term plans which will not come easily a second time in a location and price this controllable. But we cannot afford it from the school budget nor my private budget. It is therefore that we ask your support for this in the form of a donation or a loan or (if the amount of support is large enough) a partnership in the project for a period of at least 5 years.
My eternal gratitude
