A Spiritual Retreat in Tai Chi and Chi Kung

'In motion you are like the angry tiger. In quietness you are like the hibernating dragon'.

Whilst on your spiritual retreat, discover the healing arts of Tai Chi and Chi Kung. Tai Chi is a form of meditation within movement - it is the Chinese path to mental, physical and spiritual fitness. It is suitable for everyone and beginners are encouraged.

In Chi Kung the secret of channelling internal strength is to rediscover and release the powerful natural energy within us. This energy network in your body forms part of the energy of the natural world. In our Tai Chi retreat we explore the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
