Summer Taoist Retreat<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Retreat focused on cultivating energy and spirit through Qigong, meditation, and Taoist philosophy.<\/strong>
July 1\u20135, 2026 \u2022 Surya Center, White Carpathians<\/strong><\/p>\n

After many years of personal study and rich practice, the information and inspiration we share are increasingly influenced by the laws of nature. Our methods have been shaped and inspired by ancient Chinese texts and the insights of Taoist philosophy, which encompass Chinese medicine, Qigong, the I Ching<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n

The summer Taoist retreat takes place a few weeks after the summer solstice, when the annual cycle has reached its peak. Yet, deep within and invisible on the surface, the yin quality has already begun to emerge. Everything is in full bloom, and warmth spreads all around and within. This is an ideal time to savor the abundance and diversity that nature offers, while also turning inward to find one\u2019s center and inner peace. It is a favorable period for connecting with the elements and trees, and for strengthening and revitalizing both body and mind.<\/p>\n

During the retreat, we will explore principles that are also applicable to daily life. The very environment has a beneficial effect not only on the body but also on the soul. In such surroundings, the power of nature becomes a catalyst for deeper, more focused work, helping participants integrate and retain new insights more permanently. Taoism offers many supportive paths for this journey.<\/p>\n

Retreat is lead by Zuna and Milan.<\/strong><\/p>\n
