Qi Gong

As part of the Qi Gong practice, complementing the training provided by Thierry Baë in recent years, these workshops are primarily dedicated to the study of the slow form of Wu family Tai Chi Chuan. This form will allow participants to discover and practice the internal principles common to and specific to the Yang and Wu families, through the precision of the postures (alignments, movement of the central axis, fascial work, etc.).
The workshop series is open to all interested individuals with a background in Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Gong, and energy practices.

Classes are held in the Jean Garcin room on the 3rd floor of the castle. It’s a beautiful room with a wooden floor, air conditioning, and windows on three sides, with a terrace overlooking the castle roof and the park.

Class Schedule: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (3:00 PM – 4:45 PM on the last day).
There is also open practice and rehearsal time from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Any audio or video recording of Thierry Baë’s classes is strictly prohibited.

Address: Chapelle site, Arbousière park
1462 Avenue Voltaire Garcin, 84470 Châteauneuf de Gadagne

Train + Bus: Shuttle from the TGV station to Avignon Centre (10 minutes). The bus station is next door. The bus is preferable to the TER train, as the stop is very close to Avenue Voltaire Garcin. Bus line 906, 20 minutes, stop « Plateau » at the entrance to Châteauneuf near the Esso station, then a 20-minute walk to the château.

Carpooling: For travel to or from the train station to the château, we will send a message to registered participants to facilitate connections between them.

ACCOMMODATION – MEALS
Accommodation is in a chalet or a small building near the château in the Arbousière park. Meals are served in the dining room on the ground floor of the château or outdoors in the summer, at 12:30 pm and 7:30 pm. Breakfast is self-service from 7:30 am.

Two options are available: full board with arrival the day before—or the morning of—the workshop, or meals only, without accommodation.
Full board is in a double room; single rooms are available (sheets are not provided or are available for an additional fee). Meals are prepared on-site (meat-free but including eggs, fish, and dairy). You can request adjustments in case of intolerance (e.g., replacing dairy with fruit), but the kitchen will not accommodate specific dietary needs. You can indicate this in the « Remarks » section of the registration form.
Payment for meals and accommodation is made on-site only, by check or bank transfer to Site de la Chapelle.

For pricing, please see the registration form.

RESERVATION and REGISTRATION
As the number of places for full board is limited, it is recommended that you register as early as possible if you require accommodation, especially for single occupancy. Details of your accommodation, including the cost and room number, will be sent to you a few days before the start of the workshop.
Registrations are confirmed upon receipt of the registration form.
The deposit can be paid by check (or by bank transfer up to 3 months before the start of the workshop).
