Summary

Qigong and Meditation – a retreat right by the sea on the beautiful island of Crete!

We’ll stay and practice Qigong right by the sea, in the shade of ancient olive and pine trees.
On two afternoons, we’ll explore natural thermal pools and the ancient site of Lissos.
Practicing Qigong at these places of power is always a special experience.

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 and has been teaching Qigong and Chan Mi Gong full-time since 2011.
She has already led and organized over 30 retreats in beautiful Greece.
It gives her immense joy to pass on these wonderful, ancient exercises
and to share the associated background knowledge.

The retreat includes the Qigong/TaiJi exercise series “Shi Ba Shi” Set 2, the guided meditation Ren Bu, tapping exercises, acupressure, facial massage, Daoist perspectives, and the fundamentals of traditional Chinese medicine.
