This Retreat

What is “Disciple of Shaolin”

This is not just a tour or a fitness camp. This is ten days of deep immersion into an ancient tradition, where you are a disciple, not a guest.

You wake up at 5:00 AM. You train three times a day. You eat, sleep, and breathe to the rhythm of the temple. Between sessions — calligraphy, foundations of Chinese medicine, tea ceremony.

This is not a tour. Not a gym. Not a relaxation. The Master transmits knowledge. The translator transmits meaning. You do not miss a single word.

The Master

Shi Yan Chen

释延晨 is 34th Generation Disciple

The Master follows the canons of traditional monastic education. He transmits knowledge “from heart to heart” — as it has been done in Shaolin for centuries.
He does not explain theory. He shows movement, breathing, internal work. And he waits for you to repeat — not the form, but the essence.

I give as much as you are able to receive

Language is no longer a barrier

Translation and Guidance

The Master speaks Chinese. Alexey Karpov translates into English.

Beyond mere translation, Alexey Karpov 释延脉 serves as your indispensable cultural bridge and spiritual guide. His profound understanding of both Russian and Chinese cultures, coupled with a deep respect for Shaolin traditions, allows him to convey not just the words of Master Shi Yanchen, but the very essence and spirit of his teachings. Alexey ensures that every nuance, every philosophical depth, and every practical instruction is fully grasped, transforming a language barrier into a unique opportunity for deeper immersion. His presence elevates the experience from a simple training program to a truly authentic journey into the heart of Shaolin wisdom, making the profound accessible and the ancient relatable

The Place

Dragon Well Temple

This is an abode of peace. A secluded Buddhist temple, hidden among the mountains. There is no urban hustle, only the whisper of the wind and the singing of birds.

You will live in cozy wooden cabins, harmoniously integrated into the landscape. Two bedrooms: one with a double bed, the other single. Everything necessary, nothing excessive. Next to the cabins is a tranquil pond, reflecting the sky, and all around — dense forest and mountains. You wake to birdsong, breakfast in silence, train on an open platform with a view of the mountains.

accomodation

This is not just a place; it is an abode of peace. A secluded Buddhist temple, hidden among majestic mountains. There is no urban hustle, no noise. Only the whisper of the wind in the leaves and the singing of birds.

You will live in cozy wooden cabins, each harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape. Each cabin has two double bed bedrooms, along with a shared common living room. Everything necessary, nothing excessive — just simplicity and functionality.

Next to the cabins

Next to the cabins is a tranquil pond, reflecting the sky, and all around — dense forest and majestic mountains, creating ideal conditions for meditation and training. You wake to birdsong, breakfast in complete silence, and train on an open platform with a captivating view of the mountain ranges. This is a place where nature and ancient wisdom merge, offering true seclusion and an opportunity for deep inner work.

  • We spent two unforgettable weeks at the Yanchen school and are so glad we chose this place. The mountain views were incredible, the training was dedicated, and the authentic food was healthy and filling. Shifu and his wife Lily made us feel like part of their family. It was a tough but rewarding challenge.
