Our Labor Day weekend retreat at the Ecola State Park on the Oregon Coast is coming up! In the best traditionsof the Bon, Buddhist and Daoist retreats, our Academy presents a unique opportunity to learn and practice Qi Dao in one of the most beautiful areas on the Oregon Coast. It is going to be an invigorating adventure combining Shamanic journeys with the healing power of Nature. Bring your fears, attachments and old beliefs to let go of in the wilderness. Come prepared for moderate hiking and more intimate connection with Mother Earth through the practice of Qi Dao outdoors.

During the retreat, you will explore a number of different aspects of energy arts with the emphasis on the communion between your inner nature with the world of nature at large. Nature can heal all human fears, attachments and illusions by opening your mind to the mysteries of the unknown. In the course of this retreat, you will be able to discuss and experience natural ways of transforming your perception of who you really are - a miraculous energy being. This will provide you with a direct experience of the flow of life force in your body and the world around you.

Join us as for this weekend of learning to see beyond the artificial filters of perception and layers of technology surrounding us in order to experience the true essence of Mother Nature as we enjoy her earth, water and sky. During this retreat, you will have a chance to practice Tibetan Dream Yoga while camping, hiking and exploring some of the most awesome places on the West Coast of America. You will have an occasion to experience practicing Tibetan Shamanic Qigong the way it was practiced for ages – in the wild. This unque event will also combine the meditation and rejuvenation aspects of Qigong and Tai Chi. In addition, you will be able to learn wilderness survival skills and develop friendships with other kindred spirits within our international community of adventurers.
