Deepen your experience

On top of the mountain

Practicing Chi Neng Qigong at dusk on the roof of the Santa Llucia Convent. This rustic monument is located in a mountainous area on a hill top, providing stunning views of Mallorca. Chi Neng Institute Europe organises a heart-stirring week in, around and on top of this convent.

We will enjoy sunshine while developing inner strength. Each day you have the opportunity of practicing Chi Neng Qigong intensively. Patricia van Walstijn will be your teacher for the entire week. The theme of the week will be developing inner strength and the power of the mind. Each day she will teach for six hours, of which one hour will be dedicated to theory. On wednesday you are welcome to join the group in an excursion to one of Mallorca's many authentic towns for shopping, sightseeing and relaxing on the beach.

Back to Basic
The rustic convent of Santa Llucia is located on top of a hill at the foot of the Tramontana mountain range, about 4 km away from Inca and 35 km from Palma. Offering awe-inspiring views of the scenery around Mancor de la Vall, this place is truly unique. The village is in walking distance of the convent and provides us with a bank, supermarket and a bar. The rooms are clean, simple and comfortable with one or two beds and a wash bassin. In the hallway there are ample shared showers and toilets. The convent serves three hearty and traditional meals a day.

The power of Chi Neng Qigong
Chi Neng Qigong makes your body strong and flexible, calms your mind and expands your energy level, building inner strength. The exercises have a positive effect on your concentration, bring down stress levels, stimulate the brain and enforce the immune system. Daily practice will soon give you sense of inner peace and power.
