Why should I do a workshop?
The Spring Retreat
Foundational and will Blow Your Mind

The Fall Retreat
The Most Advanced Consciousness Workshops on the Planet
The Cheng Hsin Fall Series takes place each year in October and consists of four consecutive workshops exploring the Cheng Hsin Consciousness work.
Although the spring retreat is quite advanced, the fall is even more so. It is for serious people already doing the work, and it is highly recommended that you have done the spring retreat first, or at least the ENB.
Workshop 1: Transcending Self Workshop (TSW) – Oct. 4 – Oct. 11, 2025
Workshop 2: Transcending Life and Death Workshop (TLD) – Oct. 11 – Oct. 18, 2025
Workshop 3: Absolute Consciousness Workshop (ACW) – Oct. 18 – Oct. 25, 2025
Workshop 4: Insight and Enlightenment Workshop (IEW) – Oct. 25 – Nov. 1, 2025
