The duration and setting of ZY Qigong's Five-Day Residential Retreat offers a concentrated experience that can go much deeper than is possible in a shorter workshop. This retreat is open to beginning and intermediate students. If you are planning to go to Shaolin, China, it is highly recommended that you attend this retreat, which prepares you for Level III at Shaolin.

Who should take part in the retreat?

• Spiritual development seekers: Explore the mind, consciousness and other spiritual matters.
• Energy and spirit healers: Develop healing power and diagnostic abilities.
• Health seekers: Learn to regulate and strengthen your physical, energetic and spiritual immune systems.
• Professionals: mainstream and alternative health care providers

What are we going to do?

Mingtang tailors his teaching to the attendees' needs and abilities in order to:

• Absorb, generate and flow qi.
• Balance and strengthen the qi system (Big Tree Standing Meditation, Refine Qi, Microcosmic Orbit).
• Improve sensitivity for spiritual development and healing (Achieve a deeper calm state, develop the second respiratory system).
• Learn energy diagnosis and healing.

Where will we stay?

Still Meadow Community with its beautifully landscaped grounds, supports healing,

renewal, reconciliation and creative personal work. Located in rural Clackamas, it is only a half hour from both downtown Portland and the Portland International Airport.

Lodging is in the bed-and-breakfast style: comfortable rooms with shared baths. Guest rooms are integrated into the residential community, offering a mini-community experience while respecting the need for privacy. Standard rooms are shared and double occupancy.
