Shi Xing Mi 释行米 Walter Gjergja  |||  32nd generation Shaolin Master 少林武僧

 

Walter Gjergja - Shi Xing Mi's mission is to share a philosophy and methodology inspired by Shaolin culture, augmented by his eclectic studies – which include a double university degree (Philosophy and Economics) and formal qualifications in psychology, sports sciences, health sciences, strategy – and by his uncommon experiences and competencies (Biography), as an invaluable and practical system for humanistic development and growth: an ancient wisdom which can be of much relevance today. 

 

It is his belief that the Shaolin disciplines, when presented in a practical and focused way, harmonized with science and adapted to contemporary realities, can be of great benefit to most people and contexts. As well as teaching Chan (Shaolin philosophy) and Shaolin Gongfu / Qigong (martial arts and physical training / traditional wellness), Shi Xing Mi – using his unique cultural and professional background (Biography) – has successfully applied his specific philosophy, strategy and training methods to objectives as diverse as:

 

› change mindfulness

› energy and wellness

› strategy and tactics

› balance and stress reduction

›  mindfulness and serenity

› focus and discipline
› performance and resilience

› self-awareness and emotional intelligence
› personal and team development

› culture and values implementation
› leadership and management

› effectiveness and optimisation 

› professional sports performance

› holistic health and longevity
› personal health and fitness. 

Philosophy and the Shaolin disciplines can thus become a Way to many destinations, enabling profound changes in personal and professional contexts.

 

Shi Xing Mi has conducted keynote speeches, seminars, workshops and demonstrations at major events / conferences (TEDx, FIBO, World Economic Forum, Trainertage, REforum, Atlas, Metaforum, etc), for government institutions, universities and companies such as Apple, BMW, Red Bull, UBS, McKinsey & Company, Technogym, Disney, Johnson & Johnson, Postbank, Bayer, OBB, AC Milan, Merck, Jaguar, Publicis, Siltronic, Linklaters, Mini, Four Seasons, Raiffeisen and many more (Partners & Clients).
