Spend a magical 9 days exploring the way of Quan Yin, the Bodhisattva of compassion, revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy and by Taoists as the embodiment of Yin energy. Come to this special retreat and give yourself the opportunity to rest, relax, and transform!

Sharon and Tiffiny have been personally trained by Tao Master Mantak Chia as well as other famous Tao masters. You will learn qigong and meditation practices from the Universal Tao and Unconditional Love Qigong to increase your vitality, work with your sexual energy, open your heart, clarify your emotions and refine your understanding of your experiences in order to transform and evolve. In addition, guest instructors will share their expertise in sound, writing, dream journeying, and plant spirit medicine to assist us in our journey. There will be time for visiting local temples, shopping in Chiang Mai, and all the pampering you can imagine!

As women, we are blessed with a special kinship to the natural world and organically attuned to the cycles of nature. Like Mother Earth, we are able to bear the fruit of life and feed our offspring from the very substance of our bodies. We can learn many deep mysteries about ourselves by listening closely to her. Take this opportunity to connect with and cultivate your feminine essence or chi, allowing the Divine Feminine to enter your consciousness. No matter what stage of your life - Maiden, Queen, or Crone - we all can receive the guidance of her inner voice and movement in a deeply supportive setting. Return to your life rested, rejuvenated, and inspired to take your next step -- with all the practical tools you need for support, balance and joy as you grow and evolve.
