Retreat is co-facilicated with Young Master & Martial Arts Teacher Nina Crist

 

 New 2021 Dates for this retreat still to be determined

​

Held by pristine surrounding nature and supported by heart-felt community, Annette and Nina will skillfully guide you back to what is already profoundly restful and complete within. Through a wise blend of sitting and moving meditations, contemplative dialogue and experiential inquiries, you will release the tense grip of your doing-mind and remember the stillness and strength of your true nature. Learn to de-stress, vitalize and accelerate your body’s innate self-healing abilities through the ancient practices of Daoist yoga, Tai Chi and Chi Gong.

​

During your ample free time you can enjoy Blue Spirit’s white-sanded beach, swim in the Ocean or saltwater pool, nourish your body with gourmet vegetarian cuisine and locally caught fish, sign up for individual bodywork/massage, learn surfing or receive cutting-edge treatments at the new Blue Spirit Longevity center.

​

During our week together you will...

 

• Learn simple meditations to shift out of doing-mind & return to the natural intelligence of Heart-Mind

• Dis-identify from old pain-identities and come into a more liberating relationship with your challenges

• Practice to ground yourself into a relaxed, embodied Presence and attune to what is deeply true for you

• Practice CHI GONG  to harmonize breath, body and Spirit

• Draw vitalizing YANG energy from the Sun & connect with the restorative YIN energy of the Moon

• Learn the TAI CHI  Sun & Moon sequence to invite balance, ease, and an inner calm

• Boost your immune system and gently detox stress and stale energies

​

SPECIAL BONUS – Bring your practice home with you!

• You will not only learn, practice and refine the Daoist practices and guided sitting meditations – you will also receive recordings and links for your personal home use!
