When was the last time you truly stepped away?

Are you feeling stretched thin, overtaxed, or simply worn down by the pace of life?

One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is the time-honored tradition of retreat. Stepping away from the demands of everyday life allows our nervous systems to settle, our minds to quiet, and our hearts to remember what truly nourishes us.

This is what we are offering at our 2nd Annual Energy Matters Retreat: Returning to Center—a restorative weekend of gentle qigong, meditation, time in nature, delicious meals, and meaningful community.

Whether you're completely new to qigong or have been practicing for years, you are welcome exactly as you are. Our retreat includes separate learning tracks for beginners and experienced practitioners so that everyone can relax into the weekend at their own pace.
