Welcome to the Boshug Earth Shaman Center in Inner Mongolia!

We invite you join us here in the birthplace of Shamanism, for a deep, mythical journey
to discover yourself and your place in the Universe.

What Is The Boshug Earth Shaman Center

Shamanism is one of the oldest healing and spiritual practice on earth. Named after a sacred shamanic book of prediction, the Boshug Earth Shaman Center is a non-profit retreat center that will support the natural growth, healing and expansion of humanity through this ancient practice, and regain our sustained connection with nature and with our soul’s journey.

Sitting on 200 acres of the grassland steppes of Inner Mongolia, our residential facility bridges ancient simplicity with modern comforts. An intimate environment is created for intensive retreats of small groups. A variety of healing modalities and spiritual practice programs are designed to help usher deep and comprehensive healing, the return to our True Self, and our soul’s full embodiment on Earth.

The residential retreat center sits on 33 acres of easily walkable grassland, with extracurricular activities held on 170 acres of rolling sandy grassland.  We will receive clients and students in the summer, mid-June to mid-Sept., when the weather is most pleasant.  The Center includes:

  • A large reception area for dining and gathering, and a kitchen serving traditional Mongolian food and local specialties
  • Secluded teaching & practice spaces surrounded by trees
  • Three healing rooms
  • A traditional Tibetan Buddhist Temple in tree-lined courtyard
  • A Mongolian herbal bathhouse
  • Expansive walking areas, horse stables, and other activities on the 170 acres
  • A lovely wooden Teahouse by the lake
  • 2 Traditional Adobe & Reed Huts
  • Various choices of residential units for guests, including private rooms with baths

Tune into the vibrations of this elemental landscape, the ancient wisdom of the culture, the nomadic traditions, and the Shamanic spiritual lineage, and release our way back to simplicity, to the Oneness that is our origin.

Who Is The Shamanic Retreat Center For?

The retreat center is for anyone wanting greater health and wholeness, and anyone seeking to release old restrictive patterns, increase vitality, and gain true joy and wisdom.

Many from the urban industrialized world are spinning by ego-minded desires farther and farther from the healing powers of nature, and from the innate healing powers of our own “inner” nature, our true selves.

Come to the ancient nomadic culture that embodies harmony and connectedness; get in touch with the original sweet reverence of life, where one can let go of mental static noise; come into our whole being, to activate our innate power to heal, and to connect spiritually.

As one of the most ancient spiritual lineages, Shamanism is connected to our soul’s origin, answering the original question: meaning of life on Earth. When our soul is recognized and seen, our absolute uniqueness and our one of a kind life path is revealed, so is its cycles of progression and development, and a view and understanding across life and death, and time and space.

Through the ancient practices and wisdom of Mongolian shamanism and assistance with healing modalities of Energy and Soul Psychology, the retreat center exists to help facilitate a return to our true self, wellness and to the primordial Oneness that we are.

Meet the Founders of the Boshug Earth Shaman Center

Jerigtu was brought up in the Golden lineage of Mongolia shamanism, and from infancy was surrounded by family members who were practicing shamans.  His great uncle was a Tibetan Rinpoche, or “Living Buddha” who was famous for healing powers and personally demonstrating the reincarnation process of the soul.  Jerigtu holds direct transmission through Shamanic, Buddhist and Taoist lineages, which gives him an unique and comprehensive view of health and life. Each teaching is unique to the students present. Every year, the teaching grows with our unilateral growth on our spiritual journey.

Testimonial...
My son had severely injured his shoulder during a water ski accident, and we had taken him to some well-known sports medicine doctors, including the doctor who takes care of our hometown professional baseball team. They took MRIs and X-rays, suspected a pinched nerve, and sent him to physical therapy, but it just kept getting worse and worse.  He was 14 and had just started high school.  The injury affected him very much because, in addition to the pain, he couldn’t do sports anymore, and he started to get depressed. This went on for about 5 months, and eventually he had no feeling left in his arm and hand.

Fortunately, it was at this point that I met Jerigtu, and he agreed to see my son, although my son by this point was extremely skeptical that his shoulder would ever be healed.   As I watched, Jerigtu worked on my son with gentle movements for an hour. After an hour, Jerigtu asked my son to move his shoulder and tell him what was still hurting. My son said, in a voice of amazement, “It doesn’t hurt! Nothing hurts!” As we walked out, he told me that all the feeling had returned to his arm and hand, also.

My son’s dad, who had taken him to many doctor’s and PT appointments, couldn’t believe it could be fixed in one hour, so he took my son back to see his physical therapist.  After some tests, the physical therapist said, “This shoulder that was injured is now at 115% strength, stronger than the other shoulder!”  Well, of course after this really amazing treatment on my son, I have mentioned Jerigtu’s work to other members of my family, and also my yoga students.

Claire GuYu Johnson is a master teacher of Energy and Soul Psychology and Qigong, founder of the North American ZY Qigong Institute and Image Medicine Clinic, and has been teaching and healing worldwide for two decades.  She apprenticed with Grandmaster Mingtang Xu in the ancient lineage of Zhong Yuan Chan (ZY Qigong), and has also studied with several Tibetan Rinpoche, Taoist healers and grandmasters.  Having come through her own personal traumas, Claire uses her empathic abilities to pinpoint emotional blockages in the body through a combination of healing modalities that have proven effective for hundreds of clients over the past two decades.

Testimonial...
I have had many healing sessions from Claire and all of them have contributed to my becoming the person I am today, someone that I don’t just like but love, and committed to her own evolution.

My first experience with Claire’s healing was cathartic. It opened up the gates that were keeping me stuck in painful traumatic childhood experiences. It gave me the strength, both physical and emotional to take the first real steps on my spiritual journey as well. When she started working on me I had no idea of what to expect. And while she was pounding between my shoulder blades, I observed and tried to stay open (after thinking..what the heck:-) and then “it” started happening,….the wall started coming down, the pain of losing my parents, the trauma that kept me prisoner…..the blockage started to melt as she kept working on it and as I totally trusted. My wings still get stuck sometimes but I am able to fly again.

Another experience that happened  after a ZYQigong practice and Claire working on me: I woke up during the night to my spine undulating, and a voice told me ..stay out of it…. and so I found myself outside of my body observing as the Kundalini snake rose up through my spine in huge waves, (thinking..how is it possible that my spine is not breaking and..I would do very well in a circus performance). It took a good while before my spine slowly relaxed and I went back to sleep. I was very sore the next day but, wow, what a feeling as the energy travelled freely up and down my spine. Years later in Shaolin, during an intensive ZYQ retreat, somebody had a similar experience, but he was not able to stay out of his body and the energy got stuck and he had to receive healing.

Even if sometimes I felt that not much happened during a session, in reality I always had life changing benefits at all levels. My last session with Claire was no exception. For almost a year I had a constant, nagging pain in my right shoulder/arm. I had many treatments from chiropractors, massage therapists, healers etc. When Claire worked on it, she saw that my muscles were energetically hiked up, like hanging on a hook. After that session my pain and discomfort disappeared and has never come back.

I will always welcome and seek the opportunity to have a session with Claire, as I know it will help me to let go of that which prevents me to get to know the whole me.
