Practicing Cheng Hsin in La Mûre (France) with @Julia Dijkstra

Here are a couple more group pictures from this year’s Holland summer workshop.

“I can only be as responsible as I am conscious.” Responsibility isn’t about duty. It’s about the consideration and accountability of the impact my words, thoughts, actions have on others, myself, or environment (ie what it contributes to— what I am actually doing) Or simply put: what I do or say to others or to myself matters. I can’t be responsible if something is not within my level of awareness or circle of concern or consideration (ie, a recipe for irresponsibility, selfishness, damage, or collateral) Thank you 😄😄

Greetings to you all I spent my holidays in the cheng hsin holland camp 2025. Working, training and studying hours everyday felt challenging. Still, im in awe with the training approach of the martial week. Whats unique for me is that i never found any physical training with such a big emphasis on body principles. Elsewhere i might practice techniques with attention to detail, and here, i must additionally pay attention to what i‘d describe as a broader, more „open“ aspect of the body‘s movement, ie. the body-being principles. I feel well taken care of in terms of being able to dialogue with brendan or advanced practitioners regarding a topic at hand. A take-home from the EUS-Workshop: -being introduced to the possibility of taking apart my emotions from a first-person-perspective. Getting a real glimpse of how my emotions are built or what „elements“ are necessary for them to arise. I see that possibility as a new and exciting study of my non-objective inner world. Cheng hsin gives me a direction towards what feels like for me: an understanding more satisfying than any theory. What i hear ralston describe as „being there with it“. Thanks for everybody that i could train with And hope to see you at a workshop too Regards👋 Joris
