Beginning August 24, 2024 Rick will have the honor of co-teaching the 2.5 year Foundations Training Program through Lotus Nei Gong International.

“Over the course of 4 weekends per year (for the first and second years training) as well as Zoom meetings and a longer 10-day retreat, students will study the art of Nei Gong in great detail so as to enable them to develop a powerful lifelong practice of their own. This is a chance to go deep into the art of Nei Gong in a structured and step-by-step fashion, guided by Damo Mitchell and his senior students. "
