Welcome…:)

Retreat Dates : Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th February 2024

This is an invitation to join me for a nourishing Chi Kung Retreat that is designed to teach techniques to help still the mind, and attain deeper levels of health. You will learn moves and meditations that, with practice, will help you increase your energy reserves, and orientate you to a deeper awareness and presence in the universal space.

The focus of this Retreat is to explore Elemental, Meridian and physically nourishing Chi Kung movements and meditations associated with the Metal Element, including strengthening our Wei Chi – our protective auric chi.  The Metal Element supports the many qualities of the Tiger : self empowered, strong, and motivated, moving with great focus and clarity.
Giving time to these deep Chi Kung practices leads to greater consciousness and health. See below for further details.
This Retreat is open to beginners and experienced alike, it is about learning techniques you can do at home to stay healthy.

NOTE: I am offering a $40 discount to the Retreat fee of $330 if full payment is received before 18th Jan 2024. Please see the end of this page for Retreat cost and payment details.

Please let me know asap if you are planning to join this Retreat, so I can reserve your place, as spaces are limited 

No previous experience required, it is about learning techniques you can deepen into at home and in nature to stay happy and healthy.

What is Chi Kung?

Chi Kung is the skilful practice of gathering, circulating, and harmonising one’s life-force energy.

Chi Kung is about being with the moment as it is, and gaining a much subtler sense of body awareness, so you are able to attune to your health. By slowing down movement and mind, you will start to perceive subtle meridian flows, and deep reservoirs of energy in the body.

There is a natural self-balancing that happens without thought or action, when you are moved from a place of stillness into the motion of your life force. This happens when you allow yourself to be unfettered by a busy mind, and come back into awareness of the entirety of the moment as it is.

Taking the time meet yourself in this way, reconnects you to the abundance of being in tune with, and part of, nature.

What is This Retreat About?

The Metal Element is part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 5 Element Cycle – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal.

The Metal Element Chi Kung moves strengthen and support our Wei Chi (auric field). When our Wei Chi is strong, our body and mind feel clear and able, and much less vulnerable to external toxins, and negative energy that can lead to dis-ease.

Tiger is the animal associated with the healthy Metal Element energy, with its ability to easily slash through difficulties, with a clear, sharp mind, and strong body. There is a lot of fun to be had in exploring Tiger forms which open up to the potency within your energy reservoirs .

In this Retreat, we will explore specific organ and meridian Chi Kung forms that greatly support health of our lungs and intestines, and thus also support the health of our whole body.

Meditation and the very relaxing Cloud Hands form are used to settle the chi after the potent forms, and during deeper states.

We will be exploring how to access deeper health through Chi Kung forms, walks, and meditations that balance our Meridians, Dantians, and our Elemental relationships to nature.

Note: There are also a series of 10 standalone Retreats covering the 5 Elements, Dragon Chi Kung, & Internal alchemy. Completion of all ten Retreats and associated homestudy lead to the qualification of Elemental Chi Kung Teaching Certification. Or each Retreat can be enjoyed standalone. see past event details on website or facebook ChiKungForAll for overview of each Retreat.

Note: the Retreat is subject to minimum and maximum numbers.
