Join us for a special daylong retreat to mark the turning of the year, co-led by Nick Ingrisani and Laure Marin de la Vallée. As we approach the longest night, we gather to cultivate the internal resources—heat, stillness, and attention—required to navigate the winter.

Together, we will merge the heart-centered practice of ??????????? ?????????? with the structural grounding of ??????. We will move between stillness and motion, tuning into the wider forces that move us and metabolizing the sediment of the year.

The Container Includes:

+ Seated & walking meditation practice
+ Qigong fundamentals
+ Opening dharma talk
+ Guided meditation instruction
+ Mindful eating (Please bring a lunch to stay in the container)
+ Dharma sharing / Q&A session

? ???? ?? ??????, ???? ?????: This retreat marks the Winter Solstice and serves as the closing event for my practice before my upcoming travels in India. It is a time to gather the community one last time in 2025.

What is Qigong? The Neijing warns: "If you wait until you are sick to heal, it is like waiting until you are thirsty to dig a well." Qigong is the digging of that well. It is a practice of ???????? ???????, a method to discover, understand, and regulate the current of vitality that connects us to the wider ecology. While there are 40,000 forms, we seek only the essence: ?? ?????? ??? ????? ?? ??? ?????? ?????? ??? ??????? ??????. Through slow movement, self-awareness stabilizes to reveal our center and restore the body's innate capacity for resilience. We will be practicing fundamental patterns

Beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. ?????? ???? ??? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ?? ????????!
