Welcome to Primordial Alchemist
Primordial Alchemist has become a leading spiritual development school teaching tens of thousands of students from every walk of life to re-discover their true hidden potential not experienced in other systems.
The “water path” – the celestial way of Taoism – has lead the field in helping others reach their goals of spiritual realization and has changed the world in passing on once hidden knowledge to the masses in an old traditional manner of the master to student transmission of once hidden truths, and were only practiced in remote temples of the east.
All people from all walks of life have had direct mind experiences through the water path of Taoism, and their lives have been changed in so many ways that are too many to describe.
We continue to passionately teach, promote, and hold the standards of teachings as outlined in those lineage masters of the ancient past, the reason why this art has become so well known and successful to all who devote to this authentic path. Learn More
Longevity Retreat
Longevity Retreat: 3 Day Online Event
“It is to the delight of our soul that we learn the way of the Tao, reflected in eternity through our physical bodies. This is witnessed best with health, longevity, tranquility, and ultimately the everlasting body of Gold Dragon or Gold Phoenix.” -Mugen Roshi
This 3-Day Online event works in connection with 4 Taoist Practices to soften the mind, ground strengthened qi to the earth, and maintain balanced health & longevity.
The Longevity Retreat can be taken as a traditional online retreat, or as a 3 Day class.
The Longevity Retreat presents the unique opportunity to train directly with Mugen Roshi and Dao Shi in retreat, from the comfort of your home. You will also have the chance to interact with cultivators from all over the world.
The beautiful thing about this event is you get to design your level of experience.
If you have jobs or household responsibilities, you can experience this event as a regular class logging-in and out at class times. If you have the time and desire to do so, you can turn this into a traditional retreat experience, immersing yourself into practice and isolation from the outside world. After registration each student will receive a guide that helps them choose their path including time, meal choices, and setting up your sacred space.
The journey begins and ends with you!
Longevity Practices:
Heart Fasting Method
This mind related practice utilizes specific meditative forms to soften and empty the “monkey mind” of many obstructions. The method seems easy but requires dedication and consistency of daily practice to free the mind of self -generated doubts.
Fasting the heart-mind will enable you to experience less stress, to be non-attached to the daily monkey mindset, and allow smoother Shen Qi to flow within you.
This method is suitable, and can be used for all forms of practices within our system, but can also be used with any Taoist practices.
Life Extending Method
After one awakens the true thrusting channel you must ground the ever strengthening qi deep into the core of the earth. The ultimate purpose in attaining balanced health and longevity through the Life Extending Method is to continue self cultivation.
In ancient times this practice anchored the middle and lower Dantiens into the earth to both slow the age of the body and mind and also allow bliss and emptiness to naturally merge within the practitioner.
The life extension ways also use herbs, minerals and Neidan, Weidan (outer and inner) alchemical means to bring forth long life.

FREE Guided Meditation
There is much happening in the world today. This is an exciting time but we know it can feel intense sometimes.
During this time, it is good to go inward and focus on building a strong mind, qi, and truly cultivating yourselves. “When you awaken yourself, you awaken all of humanity.”
We, as cultivators, get to set an excellent example for those we’ve never met, to be the light for those who can’t see the light. The KUNLUN Method can send ripples of positive energy out into the world and assist evolution.
More than ever, we want to invite you to use your tools to stay grounded, to energize yourself, and to reconnect with your source.
Primordial Alchemist is offering a complimentary online event on October 6th, at 5 pm, Pacific Time. Mugen Roshi will lead a guided practice that will harmonize the body with Earth’s field in the Schumann Resonance.
We are grateful to walk this path with you and keep these lineages alive for the benefit of all beings.
Date: Saturday October 7th
Time: 5pm PT
KUNLUN Level 2 – Asheville, NC
KUNLUN Level 2 Seminar Asheville, North Carolina!
The Celestial Water Path to Enlightenment…
In KUNLUN Level 2, you will build on the foundational practices by learning the intermediate techniques of this sacred system.
Through KUNLUN Level One training, the practitioner opens all of the important meridians of bioenergy. Level One practitioners use this unique energy to awaken the body, mind and spirit to a potential which accumulates in a very high frequency.
In Level 2, practitioners learn to guide this cultivated bioenergy downward throughout the body using both meditative and qi practices. Practitioners continue to build a strong foundation, while simultaneously developing deeper levels of their cultivation.
We must remember that the essence of the physical body is the essence of the mind itself. What we do above, we must also do below to balance the whole being. This balance allows the practitioner to manifest this unique energy into the world around us.
Based on the individual cultivator, the level 2 practices bring forth unique and meaningful perspectives upon one’s path.

KUNLUN Level 1 – Asheville, NC
KUNLUN Level 1 Seminar Asheville, North Carolina!
The Celestial Water Path to Enlightenment…
Since the times of Antiquity, the True Alchemical Teachings which gave authentic awakening were extremely rare. Receiving teaching from Masters who had attained the highest spiritual awakening of the Living Body of Light was reserved for very few and fortunate individuals.
These rare teachings are now being offered to those walking the path of true knowing. The KUNLUN System is for those who are seeking the path of no-more learning. This ancient method is from the sacred Kunlun Mountains Mountains where the temple of the Great Taoist Immortals originated and the place where Fu Xi the Dragon Immortal of the east first taught these ancient skills.
The KUNLUN System is the Celestial (water) path to enlightenment.
Mugen Roshi (Max) and his wife Diana Dao Shi teach this tradition in a light-hearted and simple way leading the practitioner to the quick awakening of their true dormant potential, attaining results in their alchemical practices. The simple methods of KUNLUN Level 1 will help you begin to awaken yourself naturally, without force and without using your seeking mind, but through the downward or water path system of self-surrender. This is the essence of Taoist Internal Alchemy.
The KUNLUN System is a system of practices offered for those seeking a spiritual path of internal alchemy leading to the truth within.
Practices
Practices that may be covered time permitting:
- KUNLUN System

“Your human body is a miracle of the universe with the great mysteries housed within it. You are the universe. You are the essence of living light, slowed down into the physical manifestation of frozen light. When we do our practices, we are speeding ourselves back up into the sacred vibration of truth, even beyond the speed of light, and in the process we remember who and what we truly are and what we came here to do.”
