Ass. Prof. Gijsbert Ruitenburg
Founder Jindanfa.com
Assistant. Prof. China Arts College
Chairman BETA (Belgian Taoist Alchemists)
In 2003 I obtained a Bachelor's Degree as a general nurse in the Netherlands, with psychiatry as differentiation. The reason for my move to Antwerp was to start a course at the China Arts College where I obtained a Bachelor of Taoist Arts in 2009 and a Master of Taoist Arts in 2017 with specialization in Chinese health training and Taoist massage. Taoist alchemy has taught me both theoretically and practically in healing methods (massage, qi-harmonization), health exercises (yuanqigong, breath training, self-massage), internal martial arts (taijiquan, baguazhang, xinyiliuhequan and xin(g)yiguan), philosophies of life (including Laozi, Zhuangzi), classical Chinese language and Chinese fine arts (calligraphy and painting). I am officially associated with the Southern Alchemical Tradition of the Golden Cinnabar.
