Autumn Equinox Qigong Day Retreat

The Autumn Equinox marks a sacred turning point in the year—a moment of perfect balance between light and darkness. As the days gradually shorten and nature begins its quiet descent inward, we are invited to pause, reflect, and align ourselves with the changing rhythms of the season. It is a time to harvest the wisdom of the year, express gratitude for what has nourished us, and gently release what no longer belongs as we prepare for the stillness of winter.

​

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is governed by the Metal Element, associated with the Lungs and Large Intestine—the organs that teach us the sacred rhythm of receiving and releasing. Just as we inhale and exhale with every breath, the Metal Element reminds us that life flourishes when we embrace both holding on and letting go. By releasing what is complete, we create space for clarity, vitality, and renewed purpose.

​

Join us for a nourishing day of Qigong, meditation, restorative practices, and Five Element teachings as we embody the wisdom of autumn. Through mindful movement and breath cultivation, we will strengthen Lung Qi, support immune health, regulate the nervous system, and explore how the Large Intestine invites us to release physical, emotional, and energetic burdens that no longer serve us.

​

Throughout the day, you'll experience:

• Seasonal Qigong practices to nourish the Lungs and Large Intestine

• Breathwork to cultivate vitality, resilience, and inner calm

• Five Element teachings on the Metal Element and the transformative gift of grief

• Meditation and contemplative practices for gratitude, forgiveness, and letting go

• Restorative movement to release tension and restore balance

• Journaling and reflective exercises inspired by the Autumn Equinox

• Community connection, seasonal rituals, and time in stillness

 

As the balance of the equinox reminds us that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning, this retreat offers an opportunity to honor your own inner harvest. Together, we will cultivate the courage to release what has run its course, deepen our connection to the breath, and rediscover the quiet strength that emerges when we return to what is essential.

​

Whether you are new to Qigong or an experienced practitioner, this retreat provides a welcoming and supportive space to slow down, breathe deeply, and align with the wisdom of the season.

Come celebrate the Autumn Equinox and step into the season of Metal with greater clarity, resilience, and grace.
