REPLENISHING THE THREE TREASURES

One-Day Online

Rejuventating Spring Retreat

Rejuvenate your body and spirit by spending a day immersed in simple yet powerful practices to nourish your Jing, Qi, and Shen

The winter has been a time for letting go and going deep within ourselves to reconnect with our core self. We've been reflecting and growing inside. As we step into Spring, our renewed spirits are seeking to re-emerge in the world. 

Spring is a powerful time to:

  • Move and release stuck energy to make way for the new

  • Strengthen your life-force energy 

  • And work with that energy to revitalize yourself from the inside out 
     

“Renew yourself every day completely, make yourself anew daily,
still anew today, and every day anew.”
—Shang Dynasty proverb

Join us for our Revitalizing Spring Retreat!

In this retreat we'll be doing:

  • Eight Brocades Seated Qigong

  • Opening the Three Passes

  • Seasonal Qigong practice of Chen Tuan. 

  • Standing Qigong 

 

These practices help your body feel nourished and replenished, radiating with Qi. 

 

This spring, we will gather together to use these practices to rejuvenate our health and vitality. Join us, so you can:

  • Clear the tension you’ve been carrying

  • Get your energy flowing again

  • Start a spiral upwards in your health 

These practices are simple yet powerful methods of cultivating the Three Treasures, the three energies of the body that give us life: 

Jing

Essence

Qi

Life-Force Energy

Shen

Spirit

When the Three Treasures are restored it gives you a feeling of being light, strong, and energized.

One of the students of the Internal Alchemy class shared that after utilizing just one practice that we’ll be practicing in the retreat, his acupuncturist said “there’s nothing I need to treat you for today” because all his vitals looked so good.

These things help you cultivate “youthfulness in old age,” so you can combine youthful vitality with the wisdom of age—so you can use both toward awakening your Spirit if you so choose. 

 

These are some examples of how we will replenish our internal energies during this retreat:

Replenish Your Jing

We’ll do practices to stimulate and build our bodily fluids that make up our Jing—for example by:

  • Swirling the tongue to stimulate the saliva
  • Massaging the meridians to stimulate the lymph
  • Increasing blood flow by warming areas with breath, movement, and massage

Replenish Your Qi

In this retreat, we'll:

  • Coordinate our breath with our movements to cultivate Qi.
  • Do practices to eliminate tension so Qi can freely move.
  • Use our breath, movement, and mind-intent to guide the Qi through the body.
