Earth Below and Sky Above: A Meditation and Qigong Retreat
With Martin Aylward and Mimi Kuo-Deemer
August 9 - 15, 2025
Language: English
Qigong is a Chinese energy cultivation practice with Daoist and Buddhist roots, using slow, circular, fluid movements. Practiced with meditation and Dharma teachings, it awakens us to the matrix and flow of life within and around us, cultivating physical spaciousness and ease while deepening our capacity for embodied presence.
This retreat, co-led by Martin Aylward and Mimi Kuo-Deemer, will combine movement sessions with silent and guided meditations, teachings on the nature of mind, and meetings with the teachers. Open to all levels and abilities.
(This retreat will be held in silence. It conforms to the criteria necessary for Mindfulness Instructors in Training)
