The Bali Headquarters
“The current HQ for Lotus Nei Gong and the teachings of Damo Mitchell is in Bali, Indonesia. It is here that many of the most in-depth and advanced trainings of Lotus Nei Gong material take place”
Bali, Indonesia
From the start of 2022, the main Headquarters of Lotus Nei Gong will be in Bali, Indonesia. Damo and others will be based in the small village of Ubud and it is from here that many of the deepest training events for the school will be held. The school has a large training facility with main hall, smaller teaching rooms and outdoor areas.
Bali is a special place, bursting with energy and life. The local, primarily Hindu population, maintain a close connection with the land and its spiritual properties. The community around Ubud is made up of numerous spiritual organisations and alternative groups who are all pursuing self-development through ones means or another; there is much in the way of Yoga, meditation and other arts and now Lotus Nei Gong is representing the Daoist and internal martial arts in the area.
As a community, we are dedicated practitioners seeking mastery of these arts and Bali will become the place where dedicated members of the school may come to live in retreat-style settings and throw themselves fully into their practice and personal cultivation under the guidance of Damo and other senior members of the school.

- Students studying at the village school, close to Ubud, are studying Nei Gong and Qi Gong intensely with a lengthy four hour session each day. These students are given teaching in the mornings and guided towards what to cultivate in the afternoons.
Note that the we are fully booked for the Martial Arts and will not be accepting any more applicants for this study option, so you can only book on for the Nei Gong.
Applicants
Those wishing to attend the school should know that we are a dedicated group, practicing authentic and traditional Eastern methods. As such, we work very hard and are focused on what we do; though we enjoy ourselves and laugh a lot, practice sessions are focused in nature.
Students applying to join us at the village school for our Qigong programs should register on the website by paying a deposit of 100 GBP*.
Numbers are highly restricted and so please book as soon as you are able to join us here in Bali.
For the Martial Arts training, classes typically run from approximately 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with occasional evening sessions. Please note that this schedule is subject to change depending on the curriculum.
The Nei gong and Qi gong training run from approx 9am to 1pm.
Classes are held five days per week with the weekend to rest and enjoy the local area. Each student will be taught by 4+ teachers from within Lotus Nei Gong, all of which have worked very closely with Damo and who are very knowledgable on the area they are teaching.
The schedule and location may change around during the week, these changes will be announced on Discord.
The school is a non-residential school and so students should secure their own housing in the local area. We do not assist with this side of staying with us and students need to sort their own visa’s. However, these logistical aspects can be discussed with other students on the Bali Discord server, students gets access to this Discord once booked on.
As visitors to Bali, we adhere to their traditions and all students should respect the local customs at all times. Do not follow the example of the local expat community who are not always the best visitors with regards to their manners and respect.
