He then started on a 2 year exploration project around the globe searching for lost wisdom and traditional techniques. From this broad and deep source he creates training programs and concepts for private and business applications.
In his hometown Dortmund in Germany he founded the martial arts, health and Asia center ‘Mein Tempel’ (my temple) and is founding member of the international Missing Link martial arts community. Sascha’s travels: www.no-journeys-end.com

What is Secret Elements Qi Gong:
Secret Elements Qi Gong is a Qi Gong, Self-Balance & Therapy method developed by international teacher Sascha Wagener and well-known German Kinesiologist Martin Nienhaus.
It connects the ancient knowledge of Chinese Qi Gong & medicine with modern research from Kinesiology and Psychology. As a compact self-help tool it empowers people to balance their physical and emotional state and actively take their health and happiness in their own hands.
Now taught around the world it enriches the toolbox of many therapists, Yoga teachers & people interested in their own holistic health preservation.
I went to the level 1 course of Secret Elements Qi Gong to learn more about Yin and Yang energies and the wisdom of Qi Gong. I had no more expectations. When I started the course, I sensed that Sascha wasn’t just our teacher, he was much more than that. I was privileged enough to share two days with truly amazing people and having the mentorship of Sascha. I left the course inspired and keen to learn more about Qi Gong. In fact, the course was so amazing that I decided to do Level 2 the following weekend ! Thank you so much for all your care in teaching and for all the effort preparing templates, videos and manuals. Thank you for showing me that Qi Gong is much more than a 2-day course. It is a way of life!!
Level 2 Qi gong, was for me a continuing inner journey of self development, with like minded people that not only want to improve the quality of their lives but others in the world as well… Learning life changing skills and tools through body movement and awareness, that created a deeper understanding of the elements and their forms… A journey of roller coaster emotions, led by Sascha, who presents his teachings in a relaxed but thorough way… Qi gong is now a part of my expanding quest for balance and knowledge…I am very much looking forward to passing this practice on to help create some inner wellness for others. Mind, Body, Soul, connection…
