Deepening Practice Winter Retreat
Friday, December 27th - Sunday, January 5th
The Deepening Practice Retreat is an opportunity to immerse oneself in dedicated practice, which results in accelerated progress. Throughout the retreat, there will be an emphasis on individual guidance to deepen each participant’s skill and understanding, regardless of experience level. The curriculum will include meditation, qigong, and form practice throughout the day with a talk and discussion each evening after dinner.
Essential in the practice of the Hun Yuan system is the idea of Nourishing. It is only through the understanding and practice of Nourishing that health and vitality are cultivated, and true skill develops. Extended practice in a natural setting allows opportunity to access and harvest the qi of nature and to strengthen and deepen one’s own practice.
Stay for the full 10 days or a shorter time, as fits your schedule.
