"I feel completely refreshed, relaxed and reinvigorated after my Qi Gong retreat. You provided a beautiful and safe environment where everyone was nourished, whatever their experience. The gorgeous location of the retreat made me feel immediately uplifted from my daily grind, and the healing I received was immediate. Thank you for opening me to the beauty of Qi Gong."
Retreat Testimonial
"Natalie and Rachel provided a wonderful nourishing retreat in a stunning location. I’ve never experienced the feeling of ‘batteries fully recharged’ as I have after their May 2017 retreat. The sessions included an awesome balance between the practical and theoretical and included time for reflection and discussion. Thank you for making the weekend a lifetime highlight and allowing me to return home to a full schedule and a busy family full of energy and optimism."

"An excellent retreat, creating a perfect balance of physical, emotional and spiritual activities to provide a friendly, healing and nourishing time away from the busyness of everyday life."
Retreat Testimonial
"I really enjoyed the weekend Natalie and Rachel were such a great team complementing each other really well – approachable, friendly and really made Qigong concepts feel accessible and easy to fit in to daily life using simple explanations. There was a feeling of a safe space where we could share with each other.mThere was Joy and relaxation to it all. I had a lot of fun and have experienced some big shifts which have improved my life. Thank you so much."
Retreat Testimonial
"I have discovered a whole new approach to my daily qigong practice since the retreat! I feel a new level of enjoyment that is making the commitment to practicing daily so much easier. I am feeling a much deeper connection to myself. I’ve also found the transition back to “normal life” was just so incredibly easy, because I feel like this new state is now “normal” to me, and that is a huge blessing. I find it incredible to have moved into this deeper awareness from just a weekend, I really feel this will only continue to develop and grow from here "
Retreat Testimonial
"I really enjoyed the workshop. It was relaxing, gentle and I came away feeling quietly powerful. I had been generally out of sorts & unbalanced within myself for sometime due to PTSD. Since Saturday I feel more peaceful, energetic and connected to myself, my life and my world. Thank you. I look forward to class."
Workshop Testimonial
"Natalie is a gentle teacher who is quite sensitive to feel and keep a balance between too much and not enough. It was very easy to learn Yuan Gong from her. The yurt was filled with an intense, pulsating energy and it was profoundly peaceful at the same time. Birds were singing out there while we were clearing the ‘field’ around us. That was absolutely magical. I was deeply thankful for being there. "
Workshop Testimonial
"I really enjoyed the workshop and I feel grateful for the light and information you shared with us. I just know that the practice of Yuan Gong will bring positive changes and health to my body, mind and spiritual being. Thank you, thank you, thank you"
