Introducing a New Series - The Caring for Body and Mind Retreats
To be able to live a healthy, contented, and long life - who wouldn’t want that? The practice of caring for ourselves has been part of the Taoist arts of health and longevity for millennia. With increasing demands in our everyday life, self-care is more relevant than ever in helping us meet life’s challenges as well as appreciate gifts of good living.
In many ways, self-care can be understood as a form of Preventative Medicine. We take care of ourselves so that health problems can be minimized. Our life energy is ours to nourish and protect. Our consciousness is ours to enrich. Our lifestyle is ours to direct.
Join us in a new series of retreats that feature the Three Taoist Pillars of Self-Care -Qigong, Meditation, and Lifestyle. Nourish your life energy with qigong practices, enrich your consciousness with meditation, enhance your awareness with outdoor activities, and learn how to develop a lifestyle that embraces simplicity, clarity, and stillness.

All instructions and guided practices are conducted by an authorized instructor of Xiantianwujimen Qigong.

What does it mean to live a healthy and peaceful life? It means having a relaxed body and a peaceful mind. How do we attain a relaxed body and a peaceful mind? It is by understanding and knowing how to take care of ourselves.
With increasing demands in everyday life, self-care is more important than ever in helping us to meet life’s challenges as well as appreciate gifts from good living.
Qigong, meditation, and lifestyle are the Three Pillars of Self-Care. When body is relaxed, energy or qi will flow. When mind is peaceful, it will embrace qi and strengthen the body. When we live a simple life, the beneficial effects of physical health and mental well-being will be enhanced.
Whether you wish to get started on improving your physical health and mental wellbeing, or want to review what you have learned previously, or would like to participate in a deeper and more enriched qigong environment that integrates qigong and meditation with living a healthy lifestyle, this program is for you.

Strengthening Your Generative Energy and Building Bone Marrow – a 2-day enhanced Qigong 3 retreat.
Karme Chöling. Barnet. VT. USA.
Strengthening generative energy (jing) and building bone marrow are the keys to living a long and healthy life. Qigong, meditation, and lifestyle are the Three Pillars of Self-Care that can help us move through life with vitality and health.
The practice of qigong can help us build strength in our muscles and bones, regain flexibility in our tendons, and cultivate generative energy (jing), which is the foundation of youthful vitality.
When forms of Taoist meditation that support the cultivation of generative energy are practiced, sexual and creative energy will be strengthened. When qigong and meditation are supported by a lifestyle that focuses on replenishing generative energy and strengthening bone marrow, we will be able to enjoy a life lived well.
