Explore the inspiring personal stories of some of the students who have already trained with us, their experience of our self-paced remote training and the benefits they are enjoying in bringing Shibashi to their communities.

We have many instructors across the UK and it would be wonderful to connect with more potential instructors so even more communities can begin benefiting from Shibashi.

Take a deep breath! Zhuangzi's quote describes the qualities of the Zhenren (True Person) — a realised being who lives in accordance with the Dao (4th century BCE).

In Chinese mythology and cosmology, the Black Tortoise (Xuanwu) commands deep reverence as the Guardian of the North, symbolising endurance and longevity.

In Daoism, the Black Tortoise is understood as a stabilising and protective force. It represents the balancing of natural and cosmic energies, especially those associated with water, cold and the north. Through this role, Xuanwu is believed to prevent disorder, avert disasters and calamities, and maintain peace and harmony in both the environment and human society.

In short, Xuanwu embodies steadiness, protection and equilibrium; helping ensure that destructive forces are contained and the natural order remains stable.
