Category: Holistic Wellness
*Holistic Retreats that offer a wide range of workshops with a holistic wellness approach, for example, Reiki, Xi-Gong, Ceramics, Sound Healing, Tea Ceremony and so on. Holistic Wellness emphasizes more on the connection with yourself.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to people 18 years of age and older.
When we face silence, we often feel a sense of awkwardness filling up the air.
Have you ever thought about who you really are, if you had no name, no identity, and no words?
In this retreat, we hope attendees can be able to focus their mind on how they feel, and be themselves without the fear of any judgement.
Allow yourself to forget about the words, forget about what the society wants you to be, and simply focus on who you are and who you want to be.
What To Expect
Put down your phones together and communicate with the world attentively. Please do not disturb the environment, do not litter, do not maliciously attack others. Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Stay weird and stay unique.
Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.
Meditation Instructor: Rich
In this retreat, Rich will guide attendees to explore the body-mind-spirit connection and provide practical meditation tools that we can apply into our daily lives.
“Relaxing the body and re-balancing our brain activity leads to a calm state of mind. Then, exploring the nature of mind, emotions and internal energies. Finally, expanding our awareness outside of the body gives us insight into the nature of consciousness.”
Rich began practicing Martial Arts at the age of 7 and discovered the art of Tai Chi (Taiji Quan). Training in Tai Chi allowed Rich to better understand his body, mind and spirit connection and led to exploration of meditation.
Teaching Chen, Yang and Tsun Style Tai Chi since 2014, Rich has also trained extensively in different meditation styles with Masters around the world. Now, he has developed his own synthesis of movement, relaxation and meditation that is useful in everyday life and for spiritual cultivation. In the following years, Rich has also developed into the instructor of Universal Healing Tao System & Meditation and Qigong.
*This session will be held in English
Meditation Instructor: Gina
In this retreat, Gina will be leading “Inner child Exploration”, “Ecstatic Dance”, “Walking Meditation” and “Mantra Chanting” that will train us to be mindful of our five senses. Through each step, we will put our body back to its original state and experience every detail behind it.
“Connect everything through your heart in its original form.”
Gina is a yoga instructor who has regained her confidence and belief through the journey of self discovery. She believes that once you learn to listen to your true voice, everything in the universe will come together and help you meet your true self.
