Welcome to this free course, generously donated by Craig Mallett, focused on the practice of "soaking the mind into the body." In a recent interview with Perseus Arcane Academy, Craig shared insights into this approach, which explores the connection between mind and body in a practical, grounded way. This course is designed to give those curious about his work an introduction to his ideas and techniques. Whether you're exploring new ways to connect with yourself or simply interested in learning more, this is a great place to start.

In his own words...I started exploring self-cultivation methods in 2003. I have always had a burning curiosity to discover and explore myself and the world around me, starting with the immediate reality of my body. I had many periods where I did the ‘deep dive’ into arts that would help satiate this curiosity, including almost a decade training traditional internal arts with my first internal martial arts teacher, and another decade with a second Daoist teacher (see below for more details). Having a lot of experience with many different modern modalities, mixed with the more traditional studies I have undertaken, brings me a unique vantage point. 

I specialize in teaching internal and external physical practices, helping people to explore and restore their relationship to their body and internal landscape, and how that landscape relates to the external world. I aim to teach methods that are sustainable and can be used by anyone from any culture, tradition or lineage, with the idea that these qualities can be explored as a layer over whatever activities each person enjoys pursuing. I have done my best to make my teachings of this complex topic as simple and clear as possible so they are accessible to everyone.

I hold classes on the Sunshine Coast (Australia) and teach workshops around Australia and internationally. I teach online through a variety of avenues, including an online or in person student program, as well as online courses for people who want to get a taste for a more specific part of the training.

I am also trained in both traditional and modern healing methods, which, along with my significant history of working with the physical form, has given me a potent skill set for dealing with physical, emotional and mental troubles. I am in the progress of adding to my skills by studying Traditional Chinese and Daoist Medicine, along with Bazi, Feng Shui and more.

In general, I love to geek out about this stuff and talk with anyone who is interested, so if you’d like to chat please feel free to drop me an email using the button below.
