About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Janek has been a professional geologist and researcher for over 15 years, as well as a certified Medical Qi Gong Therapist and Instructor.
His unique journey bridges modern science and ancient energetic medicine, weaving his background in geoscience disciplines with the subtle Art of Qi cultivation.
After completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Geology at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic and working internationally in mineral exploration and consulting, Janek’s focus is now on the study of internal healing and energy work.
A lifelong athlete, Janek’s own injuries and recovery experiences led him to explore Medical Qi Gong and Regression Therapy as paths to restore balance and vitality.
His studies at the International Institute of Medical Qi Gong (Henan, China) and the Empty Mountain Institute in Vancouver, Canada, deepened his understanding of how emotional, mental, and spiritual states shape physical health.
Today, he works with a wide range of clients — from seniors to high-performance athletes — helping them reconnect with their breath and authentic self through Qi Gong practices, Regression Therapy, and personalized healing sessions.
Janek believes that true health arises from harmony among body, mind, and spirit — a philosophy that guides his teaching and his collaboration with his beloved soulmate, Mee Lain.
A little bit about how this retreat came into being:
Janek and Mee Lain synchronistically met many years ago while studying Medical Qi Gong in person with Empty Mountain Institute, licensed by Henan University in China. At that time Mee Lain was operating her TCM clinic full-time in Metro Vancouver, Canada, while Janek was working worldwide as a Professional Geologist (P.Geo). Upon returning from each site visit, Janek would share Qi Gong through structured classes with interested participants, using the practice as a powerful way to restore balance and recover from the demanding nature of his work.
Feeling very strongly about weaving their skills and passions together, Mee Lain and Janek set a vision to one day offer retreats in Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong. To prepare them further for this, Mee Lain was offered the opportunity to develop her own 50 hour course on the Basic Foundations and Diagnostics of TCM which she then privately taught for three years.
Meanwhile, Janek deepened his teaching experience through leading Qi Gong meditations and movement classes while serving as an Assistant Coach for a Junior A hockey team for three years.
Now Mee Lain and Janek are ready — the stars have aligned in their lives — and they have taken the leap to offer these unique seasonal Chinese Medicine Health and Qi Gong retreats in Spain!
Together, they offer enriching retreat experiences that nurture conscious awareness and align individuals with the deeper wisdom of our Highest Self and the Universe.
