"Precision divination rooted in timeless wisdom"

 

An Invitation into Wenwang Gua

 

For centuries, Wenwang Gua has been studied and practiced in China as one of the most precise and profound methods of I Ching divination. It reveals patterns and insights that reach far beyond the surface of the hexagrams, offering a clarity that feels almost like opening a hidden chamber of wisdom. Yet in the West, this treasure remains almost entirely unknown. 

 

If you feel called, this traineeship opens the door. 

 

Over the course of ten weeks, you will be guided step by step into the core structure, symbolic depth, and layered richness of Wenwang Gua. Across 10 carefully crafted online lessons, we draw directly from the ancient scriptures — sources studied in China for centuries, yet rarely accessible in the West. Rooted in this classical wisdom, shaped by history, and made fully accessible through modern, step-by-step teaching, each lesson unfolds with video teachings, detailed workbooks, and hands-on practices. 

 

This way, you can study in your own rhythm, while also being part of a dedicated international learning group.

Why learn Wenwang Gua?

 

Every I Ching reading begins with the hexagram — its trigrams and changing lines. For those who have walked the path of I Ching study, these symbols already speak with depth and life, offering guidance that is anything but abstract. Wenwang Gua takes you further. It reveals the hidden structure beneath the hexagram, connecting each line for example to:

01.

五行 · Wuxing · The Five Phases 

The Five Phases are movement. They reveal how energy grows, transforms, and declines — showing the rhythm behind every change in life.

02.

六親 · Liuqin · The Six Relations 

The Six Relations are roles. They uncover connections of support, tension, and responsibility — mapping the web of human and cosmic relationships.

03.

干支 · Ganzhi · The Stems and Branches

The Stems and Branches are time. They root each reading in the cycles of Heaven and Earth — showing when forces rise, shift, and take form. 

04.

世應 · Shi/Ying · Self and Other Lines

The Self and Other lines reveal the dynamic between you and what you face. They show where you stand, and how the 'other' reflects or challenges you.

Together, these layers transform the I Ching into a living map of reality — precise, dynamic, and profoundly alive.

*Important to know: This is not a beginners’ course. To get the most out of it, you should already have experience with the I Ching — knowing the trigrams, how hexagrams are built, and how moving lines work. If you have already followed trainings with Harmen or with me, you can be confident that your background is more than sufficient.
