We invite you for a 5 day long journey into self exploration where you will learn ancient Daoist life nourish practices.
You will be learning: - morning qi gong, - haha gong (rhythmic detoxifying practice), - yang sheng gong (life nourishing practice), - meditation.
Depending on proficiency of the group you might also learn: - spine strengthening practice, - taiji (tai chi) fundamentals.
Part of the classes will also cover simple methods to support health and wellbeing such as: - cupping, - moxibustion.
These methods were transmitted to the hosts of this retreat by Li Shifu, a world renowned Daoist master living in Wudang mountains in the Five Immortals Temple.
You will also experience solstice mediation at this special time of the year when the yang reaches it’s peak, the yin it’s minimum, and they start transforming into their opposites. It is a great opportunity to tune into natural seasonal rhythm and unify with it.
