The Silk Thread
We are based in the Vallespir region, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department — including Argelès-sur-Mer, Maureillas Las Illas, Céret, Le Boulou, and Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Cort. Our aim is to promote the practice of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, as well as Meditation and Reiki — and any other path that may lead to inner balance and well-being.
Tai Chi & Qi Gong
I am Oswald, and my journey in Chinese energy arts began with learning Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong, as well as the study of the principles of Chinese energy. It is alongside Patrick Loisel, in Brittany (France), that I discovered these disciplines and in depth my understanding of their benefits both physically and mentally. His rigorous and passionate teaching allowed me to develop an approach respectful of traditions while remaining anchored in contemporary realities.
The latter followed the teaching of Maître Gin Soon Chu, an iconic figure of the Yang style, who was long regarded as one of its greatest representatives. His expertise and influence played a major role in shaping the transmission of Tai Chi worldwide. An excerpt from an interview, translated into French, offers insight into the essence of his practice and philosophy…
Today, his two sons, Vincent and Gordon Chu, carry on his legacy at the Gin Soon Tai Chi Federation in Boston, USA. Many students regularly train with them, ensuring the continuity and global spread of this ancestral art.
While the Yang style is the most widespread, there are several distinct forms of Tai Chi, each with its own characteristics. Among them, the 108 movement form stands out for its depth and fluidity. This is the approach taught by The Silk Thread , promoting a harmonious and accessible practice for all.
Meditation
During my travels in Asia, I discovered meditation and explored various approaches through different teachings. Over time, this practice took root in my daily life and became much more than a simple discipline. Convinced of its benefits for mental and emotional well-being, I now offer personalized sessions tailored to each person's needs. Whether individually, as a couple, or in small groups, my guidance aims to provide a space for calm and inner balance.
Energy Healing and Reiki
My journey has led me to explore several alternative healing methods, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Remedial Massage, and Reiki. These complementary techniques have helped me better understand the connections between body, mind, and energy. Today, I intuitively combine them to support each person towards deep relaxation and overall well-being. My goal is to offer a moment of energetic rebalancing that promotes tension release and harmonious recentralization.
Place
After living for about twenty years in the South Pacific, in Australia and New Caledonia, I continue my activities in the Vallespir region in Maureillas Las Illas. I offer treatments, meditation sessions, Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes in my space, as well as outdoors at Prat de Farga 66480 Maureillas Las Illas and at the lakes of Saint Jean Pla de Corts. I can travel to nearby areas for private lesson requests and small groups. You can also contact me for corporate event requests. We can also interact via video conference for guidance in meditation, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong.
