Introducing Sylvie

Sylvie Jutras, a REN XUE teacher of many years and currently living in France, was validated by Yuan Tze a few years ago as having met the requirements for REN XUE’s Fourth Stage of Realisation and Wisdom.

This stage of inner cultivation involves ‘waking up from sleeping, regaining clarity, and seeing one’s ‘True Nature’ fully. The ‘True Nature’ is then liberated from its conditioned, patterned ‘persona’ and as the True Self, can fully manifest its clarity and wisdom. This transformation stage is commonly labelled ‘enlightenment’. In REN XUE this is not seen as an endpoint but the true beginning of life cultivation. Sylvie is well on this path and has much wisdom to share.

We are most fortunate to have Sylvie visit us again in South Africa in 2026.

Sylvie will lead a week long immersive Yuan Qigong retreats at Oaklands Guest Farm, Van Reenen, Free State (halfway between Johannesburg and Durban).

Both South African and international students will welcome her wonderfully direct and clear teaching style on REN XUE Yuan Qigong.
