Summary

LUCY RATZEL QIGONG
SEMINAR TRIPS BEYOND THE USUAL

ZAGORI - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The NATIONAL PARK in north-western Greece is famous for its Vikos Gorge.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the DEEPEST GORGE IN THE WORLD!
Impressive rocky plateaus and rock gardens, springs and deep green-blue rivers.
Short hikes to our natural Qigong platforms prepare us for the Qigong exercises.

We practise Qigong in real places of power. Surrounded by the power and beauty of nature, our exercises automatically deepen.
The Qigong seminars comprise 4 seminar days and two free days per week.
We always practise in the midst of nature.
Short, easy hikes take us to our practice sites.

In the morning we practise Qigong in silence.
After breakfast, we then drive to our various natural practice platforms in the shade of plane trees, by the river, in the mountains and gorges or at old monasteries.

Here you will also learn background knowledge that is rarely taught in Qigong courses,
that gives you access to the ancient knowledge of healing and transformation.
