Qigong Retreat in Corfu, Greece

THE RETREAT:
Qigong instructor LUCY RATZEL and landscape photographer COSTAS ZISSIS will make this retreat a truly special experience for you.

We are both deeply connected to nature and have made it our philosophy to always practice Qigong in the midst of nature. It enhances the exercises in a natural way, because Qigong originated from the observation of nature, and here we are in direct connection with the sources of energy!

IN THE MORNING, we practice Qigong right by the sea, and after breakfast, in the shade of ancient olive trees.
The AFTERNOON is free time for swimming in the sea or the large pool, or for relaxing at the popular Ina Café on the beach promenade.
On two EARLY EVENINGS, we will each have an hour-long guided meditation session titled “Small Energy Cycle” from Silent Qigong.

There are also free days for excursions and simply letting life take its course.
