Don’t Miss Our
🍂🍁🍂 Fall Inner Peace Qigong Retreat with Hae Kwang Sunim
October 2–4
Enter the richness of autumn and return to balance.
Looking to deepen your practice? Join us for a restorative Fall Inner Peace Qigong Retreat designed to align body, mind, and spirit with the natural rhythms of the season.
In Taoist wisdom, Fall is a powerful season of transition—a time to gather our energy inward, release what has become heavy or no longer serves us, and restore harmony within. As nature changes colour, lets go, and prepares for deeper rest, we are invited to follow this same natural rhythm.
This retreat offers a nurturing space to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life and reconnect with the quieter wisdom within. Through Inner Peace Qigong, meditation, breathwork, Still Qigong, grounding practices, and time in nature, we will help settle the nervous system, replenish Qi, and rebalance Yin and Yang.
The beauty and abundance of the changing season provide a rich backdrop for reflection, healing, and renewal. As we soften, slow down, and turn inward, we create space for greater clarity, emotional balance, resilience, and a deeper sense of inner peace.
This Fall retreat is an opportunity to:
Release accumulated stress and tension
Restore and replenish your vital energy
Settle and rebalance the nervous system
Deepen your Qigong and meditation practice
Gain fresh perspective and greater clarity
Reconnect with nature, community, and yourself
Enter the coming season feeling centred, nourished, and renewed
Each retreat is an invitation to enter a sacred and supportive space with community—to experience deep calm, learn time-honoured practices that restore body and mind, and prepare inwardly for the changing cycles ahead.

Questions? innerpeaceqigong@icloud.com
"Stand still.
The trees ahead and the bushes beside you
Are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still.
The forest knows Where you are.
You must let it find you.”
― David Wagoner

Embracing the Profound Tranquility of Deep Stillness and Meditation 💎🙏 ❤️
PAST COMMENTS: We are just back from our Qigong Retreat, a magnificent journey towards rediscovering the serenity within our hearts. This retreat was not merely a temporal interlude; it unfolded as a healing voyage touching various dimensions of our existence. Gratitude fills my heart for the deep sharing and the many special moments with friends and the opportunity to nurture the spirit.
🌠💫 There's a myriad of compelling reasons to make retreats an integral part of your life's rhythm. Deep stillness and silence, as experienced in our retreats, bestow invaluable benefits. The practices shared leads to a measurable reduction in cortisol levels, a reset of the nervous system, enhanced sleep quality, lower blood pressure, and heart rate regulation, as observed and shared by our cherished participants during the recent retreat. These tangible transformations contribute to overall healing.
🌟 Dear Sunim,
With a grateful heart, thank you for the beautiful qigong and meditation retreat. Your gentle guidance created a sacred space for stillness, healing, and inner connection. I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to meet such interesting people, learn practical tools to bring more balance into everyday life, and experience moments of deep meditation and peace. Surrounded by beautiful nature, the retreat felt both grounding and uplifting — a true gift for the body, mind, and spirit. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and compassion so generously.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Irina

"Amazing retreat! A few things I loved; high vibrational practice with Hae Kwang in person! meeting and talking with Aubrey, honest personal sharing, warm people, delicious food, prepared and offered with love, ethereal music, soft lighting, peace and silence, a magical winter setting, being reminded that the most momentous changes in my life have been preceeded by surrender. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

A re-energizing silent retreat this weekend and grateful that the words started flowing again. Hae Kwang Sunim in deep gratitude.
“Retreat into Silence
my encounter with silence
is a bridge to self
that reorients me.
the outer silence
drowns out
My inner chaos
Silence the voices
Allows me to retreat
Into stillness
To listen and hear my heart
My only compass to my true self.
mindless chatter evaporates
Mindful presence permeates
My being becomes my guidepost
In persuit of life’s unfolding.
