MOUNT LIU NEW EARTH SANCTUARY OPENS ITS DOORS THIS MONTH!

We’re thrilled to let you know that the latest reincarnation of our MOUNT LIU New Earth Sanctuary, in Hout Bay Cape Town will open this November!

MOUNT LIU Sanctuary is the new home of my husband, Dr Michael Lan and I, and all the healing and spiritual activities that we offer. It’s been a long drawn out process of more than a year to meticulously plan our move from Stoneybrook, to finding the right piece of land to design and build our new home and healing sanctuary on in Hout Bay. Here we will be once again be dedicated to educate, heal and hold space for fellow seekers in their transformational journey. As a labour of love, we have created this new sanctuary by the river to not only allow us to live life on our terms but also to bring our dream of helping others in a more holistic way, to life, as we approach the ‘big shift’ our planet is about to go through. Indeed we look forward to having peace on earth very soon.

Why the name Mount Liu? In short, we are now claiming my husband’s original family name. You see our surname Liu somehow became Lan when non-Chinese speaking people were assisting my husband’s ancestors to immigrate from China. So we decided to pay homage to the original family name with the creation of Mount Liu Sanctuary. Being surrounded by mountains on both sides, it’s part of what makes Hout Bay so special to us. That and the fact that this village has truly become the blue print for how different communities can live together and learn to better understand each another in order to co-create the peace and harmony that we seek. Hout Bay is small enough to feel like a village, yet big enough to cater to all our needs. With its diverse culture and abundance of all things healthy and holistic, you really feel like have everything you need and that you don’t have to go anywhere, should you so wish.

Those that know us know that this is more of a calling than just work, especially in this chapter of our life. At our new sanctuary, we will welcome you to our Temple of the Tao where we will offer regular meditations (plus dedicated times to do self guided meditations), TaiQi & QiGong classes, plus gatherings and educational sessions about Qi, spiritual development and how we can co-create this beautiful New Earth (some call it Heaven on Earth) that we all look forward to. It also houses our new healing practice (which you came to know as Jing-An over the years), where we will offer the traditional Jing-An healing modalities, but in a more holistic energy healing kind of way, which for us goes much further than just acupuncture per se.

Patients and guests will also have access to our new Earth Cabin, surrounded by beautiful trees, and mountains. So if you’d like to turn your healing treatments and one-on-one sessions into a longer stay-over retreat experience, you will now have that option. We are also busy developing our new Medicine Garden, and also plan to have a Boma Circle in the coming weeks for inspirational group gatherings around the fire. With our beautiful Tao Zen Cabin you will be able to have your own custom resigned retreat programme made up of as many one-on-one mentorship & guidance sessions, meditations, QiGong and/or TaiQi training sessions, as you wish. You can also enjoy energy healing and acupuncture on site without having to face the traffic when you leave our zen space.

We can’t share any photos yet, apart from the one above as everything is still in the final stages of completion, but soon we will share more.

We can’t wait to receive you all soon. In the meantime, if you need an urgent healing session, we do have a guest room on our property where Dr Lan is currently providing select treatments. Please email info@jing-an.co.za if you need an appointment before our retreat centre officially opens, or if you’d like to make an appointment for after the 15th.

OUR 2025 DESTINATION RETREAT CALENDAR

Soon we will also announce our new Global Destination Retreat Calendar for 2025, which will take place in the most energetically potent destinations on earth, such as the beautiful islands of Mauritius, Thailand and/or Mozambique, along with some of Europe’s most inspiring places, Middle and South America and beautiful South Africa of course. We will start the year with a retreat in a coastal retreat in South Africa in January 2024, and after that, we will have a destination retreat every 3-4 months in different locations around the world. We hope to have the rest of our retreat calendar up and running soonest and look forward to welcoming you at one of our retreats if you feel so called. We’ve had two very transformative retreats in Mauritius and Robertson over the past year, and with us settling down a bit now, you can expect more of that in the future. If you’re interested to find out more, send us an email at info@vividprivé.com. More details on this soon.

We will continue to update you on our new sanctuary, workshops and retreats, and can’t wait to reconnect with you.

With gratitude,

Anina Malherbe-Lan & Dr Michael Lan
