Ronan Rotthier

Ronan is a philosopher, poet, and qigong teacher. Under the name De Zachte Weg — The Gentle Way — he has guided groups in qigong and meditation for many years, working from the conviction that personal experience is the only valid source of transmission.

His work moves at the intersection of Daoist philosophy, embodied practice, and contemplative writing. He publishes essays, poetry, and practical guides — all departing from the same question: how do we live from stillness in a world that never stops calling for our attention?

He lives and works in Belsele, Belgium.
