Qi Gong (pronounced chi kung) is an ancient Chinese practice of gentle movement, breathing exercises, standing postures and meditation to work skillfully with your life force energy, the internal power that animates all physical functions, your emotions, and your mind.

Becoming expert at working with your own internal energy gives you the resources to have choices and to manifest the kind of day, the kind of week and the kind of life that you want to have.

Within every one of us is a place that is full of energy, health, and happiness. This is our natural state, but we so often lose touch with it in our busy, distracted lives. However, a visit to this place of inner vitality and harmony every day, even through a brief Qi Gong practice allows us access to a higher level of energy. We then need less external things and feel more self-empowered that comes from inside of us.

During this retreat we will practice and explore some core principles of Qi Gong: natural ways to improve our breathing, increase vitality, turn stress into relaxation, balance our nervous system, improve mobility & flexibility, move with effortless ease, and learn practices for self-healing.

Qi Gong is easy to learn and enjoyable to do. The movements are slow, flowing, rhythmic, accessible, and practical. Even after a short amount of practice, you can already feel the benefits.
