This is an intensive training and spiritual retreat on Taoist wellness (yangsheng) practice, either one-time overview (2-3 hours workshop) or one or two-day camp, available upon request. You will learn all about traditional Taoist Yangsheng (wellness or literally health cultivation), from Taoist Taichi, Qigong, breathing, meditation and medicine, to traditional Chinese diet, and mind/body knowledge and self-cultivation. The master will guide you, in English or assisted by interpreter, on these traditional mind/body wellness exercises.
