Tao Alchemy Arts

The beauty of being on a live retreat is how community practising together multiplies the energy of transformation. We can help each other to ground and stand our ground. To align our core channel and channel the energy of the earth and heavens. Be present in shared noble silence and laughter. I say, "when a community breathes together, stays together".
If you would enjoy this nourishing and strengthening experience, please be in touch. See my website in my bio.

My love of choreography shows up in many ways in my life. I choreograph dances in my dreams, shape the waves of workshops and co-create curriculums for longer retreats or courses. I also enjoy choreographing my daily Tao Yin/Qigong routines! Here is how our Qigong training has been shaped over the many years: two progressive levels. Best to take both levels in one continuous retreat as the healing and awakening energy multiplies with every day of immersing yourself in mindful stillness and movement.
If you are interested in exploring your inner dance of Qi and choreographing your own daily practice or group retreat, please DM me.

One of my greatest joys is to give transmission of Tao Alchemy Arts: Qigong, Tao Yin Yoga and Meditation to others, who are eager to deepen their energetic connection with their body, soul and spirit. It is so fulfilling to witness people who are growing love and compassion for themselves, their relationships and nature. What a great gift it is to offer profound tools that encourage regular practice of self-care and self-evolution.
Are you ready to give yourself this gift of immersion in Taoist internal arts in beautiful nature with a warm community? Imagine receiving personal attention from masterful teachers who have been teaching for decades. Feedback and tips are given on how you practice and how you teach.
We are excited to open applications for our Qigong Teacher Training and personal development retreat this summer in British Columbia, Canada. People come from all over the world for this adventure. We welcome men and women, beginners and experienced practitioners.

In my “Zen days” we sat in meditation for many hours daily. I was amazed with the inner dance within me. I came to the retreat from a full-time immersion dance and etheric movement. My body felt transparent to allow sound and light frequencies to flow though me. Kundalini energy was awakened and circulated inside and outside of my body in many spontaneous ways. It healed layer upon layer of my being.
I was amazed that my body was more flexible than when I was stretching for hours as a dancer. When the mind lets go, the body opens. Qigong and Tai Chi felt like the energy effortlessly moved me from inside and channelled qi from the earth and the universe.
When others came to practice with us, the flows of energy came easily to them, like it was contagious. I feel blessed that I have a strong foundation in internal arts that still give me resilience in life.
If you would like to immerse yourself in the Tao Alchemy Arts of Qigong, Tao Yin Yoga and meditation, we have a teacher training and retreat this summer in BC, Canada. For details, please see my website in my bio.

Returning home to the Islands gives me a grounded and happy feeling. Our retreat centre, “Silent Ground”, was home for long-term retreats for 20 years on Read Island, British Columbia. Here I am overlooking the ocean, feeling oneness with nature.
In the early days, we visited a Sufi Commune on Quadra Island. To my surprise we discovered recently a new eco-retreat called “Leecroft Haven”, which is on that very land! The hosts warmly welcomed us the have our retreats there.
For the last 10 years our retreats took place in the southern Canadian Rockies, which was also spectacular. Now a new cycle begins in 2026. I am so looking forward to having our Qigong training and retreat close to the ocean again!
If you feel called to “return to nature” through the practice of Qigong, please check out my website in my bio.
