MAUI RETREATS

Soft start Wednesday FEB 19th, FRI -MON Noon

Join us on the Mystical island of Maui for a Circle of Chi ~ Tai' Chi Gung ~ Private Member Retreat.

We will be learning the original standing and breathing exercises & an introduction to the Tai' Chi Gung form.

They were created by the great Siddha Yoga Master ~ Boganathar, who later became known as Lao Tzu ~ who started the first lamasery in Tibet over 3300 years ago.

We will be spending a lot of time in nature, harmonizing with the 5 elements ~ earth, water, air, fire & ether.

Tai' Chi gung walking ~ swimming in the ocean & in the evening meditating with fire.

Stay as guests in our home that is about 1400' elevation, in Haiku!

Depending on weather locations vary... On Maui we have 9 different climate zones & unless we are experiencing 'island-wide' weather, one can almost always find a sunny part of the island. Flexibility is essential. We are not adhering to a 'super tight' schedule as we flow with the Chi... We aim to immerse ourselves in nature ~ playing in water & cleansing with fire at night. Below are some examples of what we may do depending on the time of the year & weather~ You are welcome to join us on Sunday, but it is not required or is part of the retreat or classes.
1. (nov-april) Whale Watch Excursion
2. (may-oct)  Snorkling Adventure
