Jérome’s journey in Eastern martial arts began at a young age with the Indonesian art of East Javanese Pencak Silat. Spiritually, Jérome found himself drawn tot the living practice of Eastern mysticism. His inner journey and spiritual growth have been further shaped through the study and practice of Eastern spirituality, including various Qigong systems such as Medical Qigong, Buddhist Qigong, and Daoist Qigong. Jérome is also trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. To complement his Eastern studies, Jérome also pursued training in Western health sciences and psychotherapeutic work, focusing on mindfulness based and body-oriented psychotherapeutic approaches. Through his refined practice of Qigong and meditation, he understands the layers of the psyche and the complex interplay between body and mind.

Our Mission
​
At Urban Monks, our mission is to guide individuals on a transformative journey of reconnection. In today’s fast-paced world, many forms of connection are being lost—the connection between mind and body, heart and spirit, the authentic bond between people, and our deep relationship with the natural environment and the vast universe around us.
​
Rooted in ancient wisdom yet profoundly relevant to modern life, we strive to create a space where personal growth, health, and inner harmony can flourish. Through the transformative practice of Qigong, we empower individuals to reconnect with themselves and the world, nurturing these essential connections to cultivate balance, vitality, and harmony.
​
By rediscovering these connections, individuals can live more fully, with greater awareness, resilience, and compassion, creating a ripple effect that brings harmony to their personal lives and the world around them.
