Summary

LUCY RATZEL QIGONG
SEMINAR TRIPS BEYOND THE USUAL

A Qigong seminar with hiking, swimming, sightseeing and lots of lovely evenings in tavernas by the sea and in the village.

Our concept is that we always practise in nature.
We take you to beautiful places of power and practice under olive trees, pine trees and right by the sea.
Surrounded by the power and beauty of nature, our exercises deepen automatically.

Here in the south of Crete there is still the charm of the Greek art of living, of enjoyment and simplicity.
We live right by the sea and the sound of the sea accompanies us day and night.
Short walks take us to the natural Qigong seminar platforms.
Or we can take a small fishing boat to the healing water pools right by the crystal blue sea!

You can enjoy longer hikes on your seminar-free days!
Because the south coast of Crete is a hiker's paradise!
Whether along the coast, to caves or through oleander-lined gorges.
It is simply beautiful, cleanses the body and opens the heart.

SEMINAR CONTENT:

sequence

Our concept is:
We practise Qigong on the beach and in nature.

IN THE MORNING we practise our Qigong exercises in silence right by the sea.
So we can enjoy the beginning of the day, accompanied by the gentle sound of the waves.

AFTER BREAKFAST we then go to our natural practice platforms in the shade of pine and old olive trees. Sometimes we take a small boat to various places of power.
Here you will also learn background knowledge that is rarely taught in Qigong courses,
but which is so important for gaining access to the ancient knowledge of healing and transformation.

IN THE AFTERNOON you will have plenty of time to swim in the sea (nudism possible), go for short walks or enjoy a cappuccino in one of the beach cafés.

IN THE EVENING we will have dinner together at a long table in selected tavernas.
