“The Value of Retreats”
The “value of retreats” is to temporarily withdraw from your familiar, ordinary everyday experiences. It is to practice internal cultivation through qigong movements and meditation in order to regain your vitality, and sense of purpose, become enlivened, and emerge with a clear vision of who you are and what is your continued life path. Further, the purpose of a retreat is to be in the presence of the teacher who is the conduit for the healing qi and responsible for its transmission through the teacher-student relationship. Through direct teacher guidance, in both movement practices and quiet sitting meditation, the teacher’s spiritual direction is essential for the transmission of subtle energies and higher truths.
2024 & 2025 Annual Qigong & Meditation Retreats
These retreats were a great success. We practiced qigong, sitting meditation, circle walking, we did our own cooking, gongfu tea ceremony, priest ordinations, and even a Daoist wedding.
Our spring 2026 retreat was a great success with over 20 students attending.
Our 2027 and 2028 annual retreats are already scheduled for the next two years. The 2027 retreat is April 11-14, 2027. Details of costs will come later but in the same range between $500-$550. Same location in Mill Vallley, CA.
Reserve your space soon as my retreats fill up fast and size is limited to 25 students.
