QIGONG & DANCE in ZAGORI - Greece

Aristi, Greece

Summary

Qigong & Greek Dance in Zagori National Park – The Retreat

Qigong with a view of the magical rocky plateaus, by the river in the shade of ancient plane trees, in gorges, and at ancient places of power.
Part of the afternoon is free time for swimming in the turquoise river, hiking, or relaxing in one of the taverns in the mountain village.
One day is dedicated to Greek dance—featuring a dance workshop and a traditional Greek dance festival in the mountain village at an elevation of 1,300 meters.
There are also free days for excursions and simply going with the flow.

Your seminar leader, Lucy Ratzel, is a certified instructor in Qigong & Chan Mi Gong, according to the criteria of the DDQT e.V. – the umbrella organization for Qigong/Taiji.
She has been practicing Qigong for more than 25 years, has been teaching Qigong and Chan Mi Gong full-time since 2011, and
has already led and organized over 30 retreats in beautiful Greece.
It brings her immense joy to pass on these wonderful, ancient exercises
and to share the background knowledge associated with them.

The retreat focuses on the “Five Phases of Change” (Five Elements) and their corresponding Qigong exercise series, the “Five Organ Exercises,” as well as the guided meditation Ren Bu, tapping exercises, acupressure, facial massage, the Daoist perspective, and the fundamentals of traditional Chinese medicine.
