This Academy is our contribution.
Founded by Chinese Medicine Practitioner Tobias Tang Ørnebjerg, in co-creation with 5 Element Yoga Therapist Marcela Mota and Dr. Nienke Stoop.
“If Spirit whispers, listen. If Spirit calls, answer. If Spirit stands at the gates, open wholeheartedly.”
— Tobias TangThe 5 Elements Wisdom Academy brings together knowledge of 3 main ancient traditions — Chinese Medicine, Indian Yogic Philosophy and Shamanism — fused with cutting edge medical knowledge and scientific research.
The Academy was born out of a vision Tobias had 3 decades ago, while spending time with shamans high up in the Andean Mountains. He had a deep realization that a shift in perception was needed on a planetary level. That the way we were conducting our lives and treating each other and Mother Earth was not sustainable.
From that moment on, a quest began to find the best remedies and to be part of the solution.
Four pillars, one path
The oldest and most detailed medical system in the world, based on Taoist philosophy.
Yoga, breathwork and meditation — body, breath and mind as one.
Taoist shamanic rituals and ceremonies — the spirit dimension of healing.
Cutting edge medical knowledge and scientific research, bridging East and West.
Share knowledge and profound wisdom from Chinese Medicine, Indian Yogic Philosophy, Taoist Shamanism and Western Medical Science. Through our various programs we offer theoretical and practical teachings on: 5 Elements of Nature, Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation, Taoist Face Reading, Taoist Medical Qi Gong, Classical Feng Shui, Shamanic Rituals/Ceremonies and Cutting Edge Science.
We seek to create a safe environment where we can transform our limiting beliefs and conditionings and connect with our true nature. We believe that only from that space, real change can occur in our world. We want to help you become the most authentic version of yourself and be in service in the best way possible.
What we stand for
Honor Nature
The Earth is our home. Our Body is our vehicle through life. By honoring our natural surroundings, seeing how we are rooted in the earth and dependent on nature for our survival, we celebrate our connection and manifestation within the physical realm.
Honor Spirit
Everything is Energy. Earth is spinning and speeding through space, taking us along on a journey through the universe. By honoring our spirit nature, the void that is neither empty nor full, we bow to the light that fuels us with life.
Honor All Living Beings
‘In Lakesh’ – you are another me. The old Inca Saying inspires us to see and honor the interconnectedness of all beings. The web of life, holding us in an infinite embrace, builds upon the interdependence of all beings.
Live With Authenticity
Being unapologetically true to our unique gifts and talents while embracing our imperfections and flaws on our way back to our True Nature.
Live With Integrity
Living from our core, being honest and truthful, standing by our word we believe is essential in our pursuit of inviting higher frequencies of virtue into our lives.
“If we can decipher the meaning of the Elements within us we get the tools to live in harmony with ourselves and the Nature that surrounds us.”
