Here we will have 5 days of practice to explore both Qi building and environmental QiGong.
Primarily we will be looking at deepening the work with the lower Dan Tian, and exploring the
Hunyuan QiGong of San Tian QiGong. This will move us towards refining Dan Tian Gong and
developing the building of Qi.
As it is Summer hopefully we may get time to do a fair amount of work outside exploring some of the environmental side
of the practice with the wonderful trees and ocean near to the centre. The aim here will be to assist with clearing
and opening the energetic pathways needed for greater health, energy, and clarity of mind. We are very lucky to have
access to wonderful woods, vistas and the sea to explore.
PLEASE NOTE: For this practice, people need to have an established Nei Gong
practice as this is not a beginners retreat. If the work outside particularly appeals to you, we
would advise coming on the Foundation course in May ( or October 2026) first to establish the necessary conditions
to get the most out of this work.
Expect to work hard, deepen your practice and enjoy this fascinating and rewarding art.

“I keep coming back as I’ve found not only a wonderful place to be but a teacher who is able to convey the old traditions in such a knowledgeable, wise and down to earth way. She really brings the Daoist teachings and practices to life so they apply to me personally and to my way through life.”
— Carsten Möllering, 60, Germany
““I’ve spent decades searching for authentic and accessible teachings on Qi gong, Nei gong, internal alchemy and spiritual guidance Sophie’s willingness to share and guide one on the path shines through, she is truly inspirational.”
— Danny.”
“I enjoy Sophie’s retreats because they are a good mix of hard work with more gentle elements and she brings across the teachings in a way that makes it easy to listen. Oh and I do love that there is always a fair bit of laughter!”
