Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-31, 2011
Running Springs (Lake Arrowhead), California
This annual ZY Qigong retreat offers a space and time to either begin your experience with ZY Qigong or to go deeper under the guidance of Grandmaster Xu.
"To achieve ultimate relaxation, all three systems in a person need to be integrated: physical, energy and mental.
You have achieved relaxation physically when energy flows easily in your body.
You have achieved relaxation in your energy when there is no resistance in your energy flow.
You have achieved relaxation mentally when the mind stops.
At this five-day retreat, you may learn to stop the busy mind."
- Grandmaster Xu Mingtang
