Qi Retreat
Qi Retreat
Qi Retreat will focus on letting energy flow in harmony with AmoHi (Awakening Holographic High Consciousness of Intelligence in motion of energy frequency) , while letting go of old emotions, thoughts, attachments, memories, and conditioning. Qi Retreat leaders will teach methods for emptying the mind with the Dao of perceiving and understanding. Attendees aspire to change the course of human consciousness and free it from suffering, sorrow, desperation and emotional pain.
Our Mission
The goal of the Qi retreat for each participating self is to empower oneself through highly coherent 999 Medibreath of Zen Tai Gong with Zen Tai Kong to detach oneself from the past conditioned mind, to let go of the centuries-old, fragmented view of the world and free oneself from all dogmas and conditioned thoughts in conflicts.
We may see and observe a total different world through deep meditation to resonate with other others and to have synchronicity with the cosmic consciousness energy field.
We may change the course of consciously self-inflicted human extinction and self-destruction, awakening the holographic life of innermost consciousness of intelligence (AmoHi) for all conscious beings. Inner peace will permeate and penetrate every spectrum of the lives of consciousness beings, and we will observe our innermost consciousness in resonance with the conscious matrix of cosmos where the observer is realized as the observed.

JENNIFER EVANS, PhD
The Importance of Holistic Health and the Divergence of Eastern and Western Approaches to the Body
This talk will begin by briefly exploring the long history of converging approaches to the body across Eastern and Western cultures until their divergence in the 19th century. I will discuss the work of Wilhelm Reich as a case example of early 20th century holistic approaches to the body prevalent in Europe until the end of WWII. Reich’s work, on which my dissertation focused, was shaped by an understanding of human health guided by pulsation and freedom of movement.
His concept of orgone energy shares many similarities with Eastern concepts of qi/ki and prana. I will conclude by discussing the dualism inherent in modern Western approaches to health, which recognize the importance of holism even as they pursue increasingly mechanistic and reductionist paradigms of health.
