WORKSHOPS
Learning that returns
the work to you.
All workshops at Tao Energetics are built around one central intention: that you leave with tools you can actually use — on yourself, in your life, between sessions or workshops.
Open to all — no prior kinesiology or energy work experience required
LEVEL 1 PROGRAMME
Self-Cultivation Energetics
Five workshops, five depths: from the muscles that meet the world to the marrow that holds your blueprint. Each one takes you a layer deeper into your own energetics, drawing on Classical Chinese Medicine and applied through muscle monitoring on yourself. Taken in order, each workshop builds on the last.
01
Tao Energetics of Self-Cultivation | Muscle Meridians
The Spontaneous Interface
Where you meet the world, and where the body flinches first. Day one teaches you muscle monitoring itself, the fundamental tool for everything in the series. Days two and three apply it to the Muscle Meridians: clearing the reflexive tension of the present moment and reading the psycho-emotional story your muscles are already telling.
3-day workshop · In person · No prerequisites
Fee: HKD 6,000
Dates: 7, 14-15 November 2026
Time: 9:30am - 5:00pm (Hong Kong Time)
02
Tao Energetics of Self-Cultivation | Connecting Channels
The Archive of Social Compromise
The shocks we couldn't process and the social masks we adopted to survive don't disappear; the body archives them. Learn to "interview" your own archive, following the arc of human development from infancy to adulthood, and reclaim the energy spent maintaining a persona that no longer fits.
2-day workshop (in person or online) · Prerequisite: Workshop 01
Fee: HKD 4,000
Dates: 5-6 December, 2026
Time: 9:30am - 5:00pm (Hong Kong Time)
03
Tao Energetics Of Self-Cultivation | Primary Meridians
The Internal Household
The daily work of growing up — assimilating experience, holding boundaries, creating — runs through the organs. Learn Acupressure Formatting, a precise way to address each organ, and find where your own maturation has stalled.
2-day workshop (in person or online) · Prerequisite: Workshop 02
Fee: HKD 4,000
Dates: 16-17 January, 2027
Time: 9:30am - 5:00pm (Hong Kong Time)
04
Tao Energetics of Self-Cultivation | Divergent Channels
The Subterranean Vaults
Some parts of us were once too unacceptable, or too dangerous, to keep in view. The body stored them deep, in the bones and joints, beyond conscious story. Learn to work at this level of latency and reconcile what was set aside with the life you live now.

Tao Energetics of Self-Cultivation | Eight Extraordinary Meridians
The Energetic Blueprint
The culminating workshop of the foundation series, and the source layer: the first channels to form at conception, carrying your inherited Jing (essence) and the original plan for your life. Move from biographical work to constitutional work, exploring ancestral lines and gestation to remove what stands between you and your Original Nature.
2-day workshop (in person or online) · Prerequisite: Workshop 04
Fee: HKD 4,000
Dates: 13-14 March, 2027
Time: 9:30am - 5:00pm (Hong Kong Time)
WHAT TO EXPECT
Questions about
how workshops work.
Do I need any experience with kinesiology or Chinese medicine?
Not at all. The Self-Cultivation series begins from scratch, and Workshop 1 teaches muscle monitoring itself, the tool everything else is built on. The only prerequisite is genuine curiosity and a willingness to work honestly with your own experience.
Are workshops in person or online?
Workshop 1 is taught in person, because muscle monitoring is best learned hands-on and face to face. Once you have completed it, you can take Workshops 2 to 5 either in person or live online. I strongly recommend attending in person where possible; it is a much better learning experience.
What does a workshop look like?
Workshops are delivered in small groups, usually six to twelve participants, so there is real space for questions, reflection, and shared experience. Each workshop includes teaching, guided self-practice sessions, and time for integration and discussion.
What do the workshops cost?
Workshops are HKD 2,000 per workshop day: HKD 6,000 for the 3-day Muscle Meridians workshop, and HKD 4,000 for each of the four 2-day workshops that follow, HKD 22,000 in total. If you book the complete five-workshop programme at once, you save 10% and pay HKD 19,800. All dates are listed on our Book & Register page, and you can book one workshop at a time or the full programme. See our cancellation policy for refunds, transfers and postponements. To hear about future workshops, including Level 2, join the mailing list.
What will I be able to do after completing the series?
Participants leave with a practical, hands-on skill set: how to use muscle monitoring on themselves, how to work with the Classical Chinese Medicine frameworks introduced across the series, and a way to turn self-awareness into an active, daily practice.
Can I take workshops individually or do I need to commit to the full series?
Each workshop is a complete experience in itself. Taken in order, each builds on the last, so workshops are completed in sequence. You can book one at a time, with no need to commit to all five up front.
Does this train me to work with clients?
No. The foundation series teaches you to work with yourself, not on others. It is not a practitioner training.
Is this a substitute for therapy or medical care?
No. This is a self-cultivation practice, not therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment. It works alongside the support of therapists and other professionals, not in place of it. If you're currently receiving support for trauma or mental health, please speak with your therapist or doctor before enrolling in the later workshops.

“I participated in the course led by Sean, with invaluable support from Pauline. The course was designed with great care, providing immense insights into the holistic nature of human experiences. I gained a deeper understanding of how every event, starting from the embryonic stage, can influence our well-being. More importantly, I feel confident to apply the tools I learned in the course, fostering overall well-being. Sean and Pauline’s guidance made this journey truly transformative.”

“One of the most fulfilling and intense weeks of learning I’ve experienced over this past decade, and that’s saying a LOT giving I’m currently finishing studies at TCM medical school. Learning kinesiology from Sean and Pauline… I’ve found my people. I’ve found world-class mentors and a modality that synthesizes and utilises everything I have learned about body mind, wellness, energy and whole being healing in the most comprehensive way. Can’t wait for the next module.”
Åsa
“Learning the theory behind what I had experienced first-hand as a client was truly invigorating and so exciting. I really believe that kinesiology can make a difference for everyone and I am very happy to be part of this. The environment that Sean and Pauline created encompassed an atmosphere of learning without fear of failure. They showed both understanding and compassion for us fumbling away. Thank you for that, I am sure that has made many of us continue on to the next course.”
