Practice with teachers across the Americas

Continue your journey with Ren Xue

A Circle is simply people gathering - to practice, to connect, to grow. Community grows through shared intention and people who show up for each other over time.  

Across the Americas, Ren Xue teachers and practitioners are gathering: in parks and community halls, on Zoom, in living rooms and retreat centers. RXA supports these circles as they form - listening to what each region needs, connecting people to resources, and helping something sustainable take root.

Whether you're looking for a local in-person gathering, an online practice community, or a course to learn at home - you're in the right place!
