Who Is This For?
Whether you seek to cultivate inner peace or to take your life to a new level, this retreat offers a revelatory experience. Shi Heng Yi will support you in a profound personal transformation.
When Shi Heng Yi leads, the retreat becomes a mirror: you encounter yourself beyond form, labels, and old stories. Previous participants describe the experience as “an intensive correction and a deep deepening” — a unique immersion for recalibrating the body, mind, and heart.
- If you seek greater inner clarity, stability, and authentic direction in life
- If you wish to deepen your connection with your own body and mind
- If you are open to practice and direct experience, not just the accumulation of information
The retreat is suitable both for people discovering these practices for the first time and for those who already have experience with meditation, Qi Gong or conscious movement. Previous martial arts experience is not required, as the focus is on awareness, discipline, inner balance and the relationship between body and mind rather than physical performance.
