Brad Richecoeur

Brad has a background in Buddhism, Qigong and Chinese Medicine. He spent a lot of his 20s in Asia and America studying and practicing these healing and spiritual arts.

Returning to Britain in 1989 he soon met and begin studying with Zhixing his Qigong Master. During the 1990s he deepened his understanding of energy work by continuing intensive studies with Zhixing and completing the Qigong Instructor programme. He was encouraged to start teaching Qigong classes in 1995 and since then has also been offering classes, workshops and retreats.

He begun studying embodied awakening in 2004 and has been immersed in this exploration ever since. This is an approach beyond maps, forms and ideas, which opens us to both our extraordinary timeless nature and challenges us to live this in our ordinary day to day life. The way of Freedom of Being has gradually emerged over the last few years to support us in an ongoing exploration of being embodied consciousness

Brad loves spending time on Dartmoor enjoying the relative wildness on our doorstep, as well as pottering around in his garden, digging the compost heap and rolling around on the grass with his grandchildren. He lives with his partner in Dartington, near Totnes.
