4-Day Zhan Zhuang Qi Gong Course

Zhan Zhuang is a profound practice of standing medication that builds inner and outer strength, develops resilience, and cultives a deep sense of peace.

This method of Qi Gong has been practiced for centuries to enhance vitality, improve focus, and create harmony between mind and body.

'Qi Gong is a wonderful practice to slow down, to take a step back and simply observe. This course gives a holistic view to life. Peter is really extraordinary.'

Andrea Klimowitz

'The practice of Zhan Zhuang Qi Gong and Taiji is magical. I try and look at its mysticism, but it’s simplicity and tangible impact. Practicing is Bali and with Forest Rock takes that magic to a whole new realm. Don’t take my word for it though, your body knows the way.'

Simon Lamb

'Peter shares his huge wisdom and Qi Gong mastery in a informal, fun and relaxed way. I enjoyed the Qi Gong practices and lectures about keeping healthy. The course gives many insights for personal growth and strength. Thank you.'

Sabina Rabbelier

'This course is great for anyone curious about learning Qi Gong. It covers both the practical and TCM theory.'

4-Day Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong Course

Quiet Mind – Open Heart – Peaceful Life

The 8 exercises of the Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong system assist the body in the cleansing and rejuvenating itself. It is an extremely powerful set giving you a greater sense of your own energy and the ability to use the vital life force energy to heal yourself and others. The exercises increase flexibility, suppleness of the spine, and repairs damage caused by excessive emotions.

'After the course, I noticed some of my long-standing health issues started to improve – things like indigestion, belching, and even sleepless nights.

I remember taking an evening stroll after the course, and all my senses felt sharper and more vivid – food tasted better, the night lights looked wonderful, and everything just felt... harmonized.

Other people who attended the course with me shared benefits such as improved vision, reduced hypertension, and emotional releases. It was my first practical introduction to Qi Gong, and it opened doors of new perception and possibilities for me.'

Vannya Anjani

'BDJ is a great way for me to access the deeper emotions (fear, anger, grief) and the way it is sequenced makes it very safe for me to drop into these emotions knowing that I will get to work through them with each posture.'

Jean Christian Tuyishime

'The course blessed me with a new and exciting experience and opened a new window of my life. The course was valuable, methodical, fun and energetic.'

Forest Rock Level 2 Qi Gong Teacher Training

This training is designed to build on the solid foundation established in the Level 1 training, deepening your understanding and enhancing your skills as you move toward becoming a 500-hour Forest Rock Qigong Teacher.

I could feel the group energy all the time throughout the weeks. It was nourishing this beautiful experience.

The Neuroscience wonder: The knowledge and experience of Pete Larking, his ability to connect and merge apparently totally different cultures, science and history is just fascinating.

The ability of Peter to transmit his knowledge, explaining the most complex TCM concepts in a simple way, making them understandable and ‚touchable‘, is amazing. Through his teaching attitude I‘ve felt supported in following my own path, being more and more myself, feeling freedom and simplicity in life.

I’ve deeply enjoyed the training. I feel enriched and thankful. A wonderful opportunity to deepen my Qi Gong and TCM learning, going beyond the mental understanding of it, feeling it inside and outside myself, which has been deeply changing in my life.

It feels like having opened a magical door onto a wonderful world: the awareness.

Marina Danisi

'Pete C. teaches many facets in Level 2 to a continuation of Level 1, but much more depth. The master teacher is a Doctor of TCM and that is woven throughout the training. What I can say is that taking this course and Level 1 has changed my life. It helped me process and move through a challenging time in my life. It has given me the understanding and tools to teach and help others with Qi Gong. Gratitude to the Forest Rock school and players.'
