QI WEEKEND RETREAT

 

Tao of Healing students will once again have the opportunity to gather for a weekend retreat at the Garrison Institute. For years, these retreats were an integral part of our community, fostering a deep sense of unity and well-being. Now with Covid behind us, we are able to return and enjoy a weekend of Qi enhancing practices. The weekend is a 3 night minimum. You must attend all 3 days.

Who attends Qi Weekend?

Qi Weekends are open to all Tao of Morning Qigong students and Seasonal Program participants. The intention of the weekend is to gather in community with those who have been studying with Grand Master Lu and have the desire to deepen their connection to Qi. With extended practices and discussions, students are able to amplify their understanding of consciousness and the role body, mind spirit plays in healing.
