Great weekend again of Engaging Vitality with our incredible inspiring teacher and friend Dan Bensky. We had a great visceral class, the third in a row. For the first time we did a whole Visceral program in the Netherlands, but definitely there is much more to add. Great group, thanks to all for coming. 🙏

Since interest is growing in Neidan (Internal Alchemy) and its influence on medical ideas, I will (in collaboration with Robert C***s) start to teach Neidan material from coming winter onwards at Qing Bai, part of it will be online courses, others will be in real time. For more information about upcoming courses (yet in planning) and more information on Neidan in general, please visit this link, which is dedicated to serious study of Neidan.

We have good news, Qing Bai has definitely given the green light to kick off a program on Neidan, we hope to start in Fall. It will be partially online, but will also offer real time classes. So far we will start to offer an initial Real time class, to introduce people and give them a feeling what Neidan can mean in their lives. Following will be in the first place 2 modules of one month these will be online, along with pre recorded material for students to study at leisure. We also have already ideas for a 3rd module. In the coming days we’ll disclose some of the material we would like to cover in the first modules. Our intention is to gradually increase the level of material and practices. Also we would like to offer the ability of personal coaching, sinve everyone's experience is different.

We will also offer next to the online classes , from time to time real time classes with Felix de Haas and also Robert C***s.

A similar program is in the pipeline for Portugal, more to come on that in more detail.

Nice podcast with Dan Bensky on some of the basic premises of Engaging Vitality.

Engaging Vitality combines osteopathic palpation with East Asian medicine. Dan Bensky emphasizes Wuwei: paying attention without actively searching.

Meet Our Esteemed Presenter!

We’re honored to welcome Felix de Haas to A Midsummer TCM Journey – Global TCM Event.

With over 40 years of clinical and academic experience, Felix de Haas is a respected teacher and practitioner of East Asian Medicine. He is a leading instructor of the Engaging Vitality approach, an innovative method that blends traditional acupuncture, osteopathy, and internal alchemy.

His expertise spans Japanese acupuncture (Manaka, Toyohari), Chinese herbal medicine, and classical East Asian texts. Felix teaches widely on palpation-based methods, meta-practice, and the integration of traditional and modern medical systems.

He is a lifelong practitioner of Neidan (Internal Alchemy) and has studied various forms of Buddhism and Daoism, which deeply inform his approach. Felix co-founded Zhong, the Dutch TCM association, and runs clinics in The Hagueand Haarlem, the latter in partnership with biomedical professionals.

Felix will explore how Traditional East Asian Medicine can be integrated with modern anatomy and biomedicine. Drawing on the Engaging Vitality approach, he demonstrates how classical theory and structural awareness can enhance clinical effectiveness in today’s healthcare landscape.

⚠️ Belangrijke oproep: bescherming van kruidengebruik!

Een wijziging in het Warenwetbesluit kan de verkrijgbaarheid en het gebruik van kruiden ernstig beperken. De NVWA en het RIVM beoordelen kruiden alleen op toxiciteit, zonder traditionele bereidingswijzen mee te nemen. Dit doet geen recht aan de praktijk, waarin kruidenformules en bereidingstechnieken essentieel zijn voor veilig gebruik.
Daarnaast kan de lijst met verboden kruiden zonder inspraak van de Tweede Kamer worden uitgebreid. Dit is zorgwekkend.

Laat je stem horen vóór 24 maart!

On Sunday 6 April I ll give a follow up class for the Art of Needling at Qing Bai Amersfoort. It’s not necessary to have had the initial class, though I ll elaborate on some of the material I have introduced in that class. The first part of the class will zoom in on the basic premises of acupuncture and some of the history of the development of channels and points as well their main categories. Special focus will be on the so called classical points, Like Yuan Source points, 5 Shu, Xi Cleft and Luo,points. Second half of the class will be practical, how to find living channels and points and needle them appropriately. Course is in Dutch Language. See further info:

Some books you need to read more than once, sometimes even way more like this one, have read big parts of it for more than 10 times in the last decade and every time it it starts to make more sense. Li Shizhen’s Qi Jing Ba Mai Kao is definitely the most important text written on the Ba Mai in the history of Chinese Medicine. I think for those who have a background in Alchemical literature some aspects are way better understandable than if you only have a medical background.
