Yi Jing β Module 1 + 2: Discovering the Yi Jing's Engine Room and Inner Workings
Deeper knowledge, inner structure
A reading sometimes stops where the analysis should continue. Module 1 gives you a method for reading a situation. Module 2 gives you more advanced tools and techniques to analyse it in depth β refining a reading, and drawing a more precise strategy and a richer action plan from it.

We'll organise a session once we've gathered enough people.
The bundle
Module 1 gives you the keys to reading a situation with the Yi Jing. Module 2 takes you into the engine room β understanding the internal structure of the hexagrams and the mechanisms that refine how you read them.
Together, the two modules form a complete path, from your first reading to a more precise, embodied practice.
All of Module 1's details β curriculum, dates, price β are on its dedicated page and aren't repeated here.
Yi Jing β Module 1: The foundations
Read change. Move early.
The strategic tool Chinese emperors used to navigate uncertainty β a map of sixty-four types of situations and an optimal strategy for each.

An important note on what comes next
Module 1 gives you a genuine foundation β but the Yi Jing is deep, and it cannot be learned in two days. Mistaking an introduction for real competency is, at best, unrealistic; with a system this consequential, it can be harmful (from experience).
For this reason, Module 1 is the entry point to continued study, not a standalone course. Those who take it commit to join the ongoing Guang Dao programme taught by my teacher β one or two sessions a month, at your choice, over a minimum of six months. The programme is CHF 70 per month, or CHF 50 per month if paid by the semester.
This is how the Yi Jing is properly learned: consistently, and under experienced guidance.
