Most people spend their whole lives reacting, to stress, to emotion, to circumstance, without ever knowing they can choose differently. The Energy Master Academy is for those who are ready to stop managing and start mastering.
Over one year, you will move through the three stages of true energy development: building your essence, expanding your life force, and awakening the spirit that has been waiting inside you all along.
This is not a course. It is a transformation. And it is designed for you, the Body & Brain practitioner who has already felt what's possible, and knows it's time to go deeper.
Each program takes you deeper into your own energy and consciousness, building on the one before. Together they form a complete arc of awakening, from seed to light to mastery.
Awaken Your Seed of Light
Your light has always been there, beneath the conditioning, the noise, the accumulated weight of living. The Gwangmyung Arrow training cuts through it all, helping you discover your original nature and begin living from the truth of who you actually are.
Learn MoreBecome Your Divine Self
An advanced training designed by Ilchi Lee for those ready to live from a higher state of being — what he calls "Saint Consciousness." Here, you transcend from your small self to a greater you, experiencing expanded power, clarity, and love. Take the next step in healing yourself while creating a more harmonious world.
Learn MoreLive as Your True Self
True mastery is not what happens in a retreat. It's what you bring back. Brain Management Training gives you the tools to manage your brain, sustain your awakened state, and live and share from your highest self in your day-to-day life.
Learn MoreThese three energy principles are the ancient Korean Tao roadmap for complete energy and human development.
When energy in your lower dahn jon is developed and full, your foundation is strong. This is the vital reservoir that makes all growth possible. Without it, everything built above is unstable.
As you develop your middle dahn jon, your life force expands and your mind becomes strong. Your heart is open, it's easier to manage your emotions, heal your relationships and meet your soul and true purpose.
When you awaken your upper dahn jon, your spirit becomes bright and clear. When you achieve Shin Myung, you create a bright, awake consciousness that knows and trusts itself completely.
Three phases of deep retreat training, woven together with live online integration sessions led by Senior and National Level Body & Brain trainers.
Ignite a 15-day online Qi training featuring Body & Brain founder Ilchi Lee. Activate, purify, and align your energy centers to awaken your brightest consciousness — and build the energetic foundation for everything that follows.
Rise into an advanced training designed by Ilchi Lee for those ready to live from Saint Consciousness. Transcend from your small self into a greater you — experiencing expanded power, clarity, and love in full alignment with your true nature.
Claim the tools to manage your brain and sustain your awakened state in daily life. Plant the seeds of health, clarity, and self-discipline — and grow them through consistent action so your awakening lives in every ordinary moment.
Ground your practice through Qigong, Dahn Mu Do, and body-centered training designed to develop your lower Dahnjon. Anchor the energy you activated in Gwangmyung Arrow and build the physical and energetic foundation that makes all spiritual growth possible.
Expand through three months of bi-weekly practice to purify your energy meridian systems and open your emotional body. Integrate the expansions from Gongsaeng Unki School and deepen your lived connection to your true self and soul purpose.
Embody the bright, awake consciousness of a true Energy Master and sustain it beyond the retreat. Deepen your Tao principle, Shimgong practice, and living study — so your spirit remains clear and sovereign in every ordinary moment of life.
The three core retreat programs can be scheduled at your convenience and based on availability. Your Online Masterclasses provide continuous support throughout the full year.
Live Online Masterclasses at 8:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT with Senior and National Level trainers. All sessions are recorded for replay access.
