FOUNDER & EDUCATIONAL DIRECTOR

Taoist Spiritual Mentor, Evolutionary Astrologer, and Founder of the Wu Ji Gong School of Inner Alchemy. For 36 years, he has taught the art of living from the deep intelligence of the body and spirit, guiding thousands to reconnect with their original vitality and life purpose.

Andrew Kenneth Fretwell is a Taoist Spiritual Mentor, Chi Nei Tsang Lineage Holder, Evolutionary Astrologer, and Founder of the Wu Ji School of Inner Alchemy. He is also the author of two books on Taoist inner alchemy and spiritual development.

For over 36 years, he has taught the art of living from the deep intelligence of the body and spirit, guiding thousands to reconnect with their original vitality and life purpose through direct practice, abdominal bodywork, and the living transmission of a genuine lineage.

Known for his grounded, uncompromising approach, Andrew weaves ancient Taoist wisdom with real-life practical experience, offering teachings and bodywork that cut through spiritual bypassing to meet what is actually alive in a person

At the heart of his life’s work is what Andrew calls the “Lost Heart,” the open, trusting innocence we knew as children, before life taught us to close, protect, and deny the truth of life. His deepest dedication is to supporting people in remembering and experiencing that they are already connected to the Tao’s living love, and to reclaiming that lost heart, not as a memory but as a living reality that no challenge in the outer world can touch.

Andrew lives and works in Ubud, Bali, where he sees clients in person for Chi Nei Tsang bodywork, and he teaches globally through the Wu Ji School of Inner Alchemy.

What moves me is witnessing people become spiritually independent, free from the need for teachers, gurus, books, or systems. My heart sings, seeing someone awaken a direct relationship with the life force itself and begin to walk the path of their highest worldly and spiritual destiny. This is what motivates me every single day. It brings me such joy and a sense of completion to watch people fully embody their true nature and bring their unique gifts into the world.

If you're hosting a podcast or social media platform and feel aligned with my work, I'd love to connect. I’m available for interviews, conversations, and collaborative features. Media inquiries welcome.

Andrew Kenneth Fretwell is a native of the United Kingdom who began his journey as a professional musician. At a young age, a powerful spiritual experience transformed his perception of the world. The lifelong challenge of grounding that awakening into everyday life led him to study with various teachers and systems of self-cultivation.

Andrew Kenneth Fretwell & Mantak Chia
In his youth, Andrew met his primary Taoist teacher, Mantak Chia, and received from him the Seven Alchemical Formulas for Spiritual Immortality, passed down by the breatharian hermit One Cloud. Through this study, Andrew realized the essential role of the physical and emotional bodies in anchoring the high frequencies of Soul and Spirit.

Since 2003, Andrew has served as a senior instructor in Mantak Chia’s Universal Healing Tao organization. He lived at Chia’s international center in Chiang Mai, Thailand, supporting advanced practices such as dark-room retreats for cultivating the immortal body.

Since then, he has devoted his life to clarifying and sharing how to embody these insights in daily life.

His greatest passion is making spiritual integration practical—helping others unite Soul and personality into a harmonious whole. To support this mission, he founded The Wu Ji School of Inner Alchemy.

Andrew’s latest books, Emotional Alchemy: The Love & Freedom Hidden Within Painful Feelings & The Sacred Art of Bone Breathing, are available worldwide.

As an experienced Evolutionary Astrologer, Andrew is known for his unique and penetrating insights into the Soul’s deeper intent. His work helps others understand repeating life patterns and access clarity on their unique spiritual path, regardless of where they are in the world.

He holds direct lineage in both the Seven Formulas for Spiritual Immortality and Wu Ji Gong, which he has taught and certified internationally for over 30 years.

Andrew also played a significant role in introducing the Gene Keys transmission to many countries. In 2015, he co-taught the Venus Sequence with Richard Rudd in the Romanian mountains to over 300 international students.

When I first met Andrew, I recognized in him a kindred soul who had discovered the essence of life. Because we also share a similar background, having studied with some of the same Taoist masters, we have both reached the same understanding of the importance of love as an embodiment. Andrew carries that spirit everywhere he goes. He truly embodies the principle of selfless service.

In addition to this, he is one of the very few people I have ever met who has a gift of physical touch that I would describe as divine. Whoever you are, listen to and learn from this man. He has great wisdom and sensitivity that you will only very rarely come across in this life.

"Health and healing are not destinations they are directions we are either moving towards or away from."

“Victimization just means you have not yet experienced the full majesty of your own Soul”

“Everyone’s life can be an experience of synchronicity and amazing creativity once you fix 51% of your inner will and energy on unfolding your Souls love”

“Your body-mind is the present-moment portal for the immeasurable majesty of your Soul to express its wisdom and unconditional love. In any one moment, you are either re-creating your past or unfolding your undreamt potential.”

“Healing is the ability to connect someone with their own life force and their innate spiritual independence”

For me, Taoist Alchemy is a journey into becoming more authentic—and because the true nature of the Self is infinite, it’s an ongoing process. I have been working with Andrew for more than 12 years. He has been with me across all dimensions of my being—both as a spiritual teacher and as a human who can listen and support you through the struggles along the way. I feel grateful and honored to be on this path and to have him as a guide and mentor.

For more than 27 years I have walked a conscious path of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening. Along the way I attended countless workshops, retreats, life coaching programmes, and meditation trainings, yet the deeper transformation I longed for still remained out of reach. That began to change when I started learning Taoist inner alchemy with Andrew and entered into personal mentoring with him. In the past three years alone, I have experienced more genuine transformation than in the previous two decades of my journey.

So many transformations—the start of a new journey and the grounding of a new life as an energy healer! This School set my foundation for stepping out into becoming an energy healer, and developing my multi-dimensional soul connection and embodiment like nothing I ever experienced before. The beauty of the Tao lineage is that you learn your own road map for deep and consistent soul embodiment—that’s the true shift for me. I have different energy levels, different habits, stepped into my destiny and so much more. Forever grateful for this journey and to Andrew Kenneth Fretwell.
