The teacher
“What do we need in these modern times? What does the planet need?””
Carsten Dohnke explores ancient and contemporary ways to establish a deep connection between body and mind.
He has the ability to guide people closer to their heart and to who they really are. Out of this connection, he provides tools for our daily life, for happiness, health and inner growth beyond our day-to-day experience.
Based on his own observations during three decades of teaching, he felt the need for an accessible training: one that is adapted to our modern life, at the same time deeply devoted to the ancient wisdom traditions.
This is how the Art of Living - Tao & Qigong Training was born.
Carsten has 40 years of experience in Taoist practice, meditation, Qigong and martial arts. He studied for 4 years with Shaolin masters in China, has a master degree in Chinese studies and spent many years with world famous Qigong and Tao Masters, such as Master Mantak Chia and Master Li Junfeng. To gain a clearer and broader view, he studied western science, anatomy, philosophy and therapy work.
He is a senior inner alchemy instructor (Healing Tao) and has been training qigong teachers and facilitators for the last 30 years.
