The Shen Foundation

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, MIND & SOUL

Vision

The Shen Foundation for Global Change

'Heal the Self - Heal the World'

Online courses, Qi Gong coachings in Lutry and retreats across Switzerland, rooted in Taoist philosophy and the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine, to help you live in harmony with yourself, others and the world.

Not sure where to start? Qi Gong is a gentle first step, the Academy goes deeper over time, and the Retreats are for those ready to go all the way.

Qi Gong in Lutry

A small-group coaching experience (max 3) to pause, breathe, and begin a genuine journey of self-discovery, guided from lived experience.

Shen Academy

12 weekly sessions in small groups, guided by Lyell Parry - a structured path to stillness and inner balance.
Certificate included.

Swiss Retreats

Days of honest inner work in nature - not always easy, but never faced alone.

“It's not easy to keep both mind and body healthy, but life here has been stable and I learned how to achieve that through the meditation Brigitte taught me.”

Executive Director

Years ago, a stage 4 cancer diagnosis forced me to ask the deepest questions - who am I, and what is my purpose? Through Qi Gong and a patient healing process, I found my answers and recovered my health.

Lyell Parry 

Co-Director

Co-director Lyell Parry has practiced healing arts since the age of 21 — from the Inner Peace Movement to Shiatsu therapy. In 2024, facing severe kidney and bladder damage, he applied his own practice to his recovery: daily Qi Gong, visualization, and the wisdom of Chinese medicine. Eight months later, against the odds, his body is healing.
