Qigong Holiday Retreats
Have Fun and Be…
Come join Suzanne and colleagues for a replenishing, peaceful and re-energising time in one of the many Qigong holiday retreats. A variety of different Qigong and Tai Chi Retreats will be on offer throughout 2010 - 2011, where you can learn, practise and play with techniques to reduce stress and promote health and healing. Feel restored and experience Vital Energy (Qi) with a Relaxed and Calm, Body and Mind. A Retreat Holiday Each of us have our own reasons for this ‘time in’ with ourselves, and we offer beautiful and contrasting environments for you to have this time to yourself or share some of it with a friend. We offer Holiday Retreats that vary from meeting up for daily classes in amazing places like the Zen temple gardens in Kyoto Japan, to relaxing in the quiet and beauty of the mountains and seascapes in New Zealand. From informal classes to having your days organised and scheduled for you, the range of retreats will vary throughout the year. Suzanne is also now offering Personalised Health and Wellbeing Qigong Retreats in her coastal home area of Lennox Head / Byron Bay in Northern NSW. Renowned internationally for its surf and beaches, this beautiful part of Australia, abounds in Nature with rainforests and coastal vistas. With Byron being the most easterly point in Australia, this area is the first place that sees the sun rise on this big Country. When you experience a Retreat with us, you will gain confidence in the Qigong / Tai Chi forms that are explored and learnt during our time together. This will assist and enable you to easily incorporate them into your life when you get home. For reference we also provide you with notes that contain many of the Qigong / Tai Chi forms and exercises that you would've learnt and played with during your Retreat and other relevant information that you will enjoy. In 2007, we had an amazing time in the Angkor Wat Temple Complexes and Siem Reap in Cambodia. Participants came from Ireland, England, New Zealand, South Africa, France and Australia. It was very interesting in experiencing the different feelings of Qi in each of the ancient temples. And it was a very ‘hot’ weather experience as well! Perhaps at another time of year next time. A Spiritual Japan Holiday Retreat was experienced with Tea Ceremony master Margaret Price and Qigong teacher Suzanne Rienits in September/ October 2009. Spiritual Japan Holiday Retreat - Qi, Tea and Zen gardens in/around Kyoto. During that time in Japan, Suzanne met with local English speaking guides and workshop teachers, revisited and discovered more special places in the Alps and around the Kansai region. This helped to provide the basis for the wonderful itinerarythat became - ‘Exquisite Japan’ – Cherry Blossom, Qi(Chi) & Tea. Held just after Easter in April 2010, we were fortunate and experienced the peak of the Cherry blossoms in many places including a large Japanese Tea Ceremony gathering in Matsumoto castle surrounded by blossom and snow clad mountains around. Such beauty and tranquillity were experienced in the gardens and temples along with ease as we soaked in the natural hot baths (onsens). Tasting and learning about Tea (and its sweet accompaniments) came in many ways, from grinding our own Matcha (powdered green tea), making Hojicha (roasted tea), to learning how all the different types of Japanese Tea are grown and processed along with how best to make each type. A new world opened not just in becoming more aware of our Qi and ways of cultivating it, but of Tea itself and the Meditative Ceremonies that accompany it. For a taste of this last Japanese itinerary please see below. Plans for the next group Japanese Holiday Retreat won’t be until late 2011 or early 2012. If you and some friends are interested before these times, please contact Suzanne to discuss options.
