SUMMARY:Qi Friends Qi Gong Retreat April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Retreat Spain – Living from Your Heart\nWhen you live from your heart\, you are naturally in harmony with circumstances. You can move more easily with the flow of life. You experience more peace of mind\, contentment and joy. Would you like to live more from your heart? Then we warmly invite you to join us for the retreat in Spain. \nDo you recognize this too? That you’re ‘too much’ in your head? That there’s an abundance of thoughts\, and you can barely find the stop button? All those overtime thoughts lead to restlessness and a feeling as if you’re not truly connected with yourself and others. To experience that connection again and find peace in your head\, it’s essential to reconnect in our heart. \nThe Eastern Vision of Living from Your Heart\nIn Zhineng Qigong we often talk about ‘Yi Yuan Ti’. We often translate this as your clear consciousness\, your true self. The beautiful thing is that when you literally translate the Chinese characters\, it actually says ‘standing in heart’. Also in Traditional Chinese Medicine\, the Heart is given a central role. Here resides the ‘Shen’\, your spirit/soul\, or the light in your eyes. The Shen is responsible for your consciousness\, emotions\, vitality\, and clear eyes. A calm Shen leads to a peacefully nourished heart\, to joy and inner peace. \nRetreat Spain – What Does the Program Look Like?\nThe Spain retreat invites you in every way to live more from your heart. In the Qigong lessons we take up exercises that support you in this. We explore how we can bring our ‘Shen’ home again with gentle movement\, chant and introspection. Additionally\, we align with the rhythm of meditation as it takes place daily at this location. There are periods of silence. But of course there is also exchange\, connection\, and we make an excursion to the beach. \nAsha Meditation\nWe stay at a place where three Asha meditations take place daily. Asha Meditation is a form of meditation where a period of rhythmic drum sound alternates with an (equally long) period of silence. The rhythm helps to prepare your mind for the actual meditation\, a period of silence. \nSilence Periods\nIn the ‘Garden of Nâm’\, not only is there regular meditation. Daily periods of silence are observed. Silence is a powerful instrument to be in connection with yourself again. In the beginning it can feel a bit strange\, but we often hear from people that the periods of silence contributed to an unexpected deepening. \n  \nRetreat Spain – Daily Program\n7:45 Qigong (approximately 45 minutes)\n8:30 Breakfast\n10:00 Asha meditation\n11:00 Qigong (approximately 75 minutes)\n14:00 Asha meditation\n14:30 Warm lunch\n16:30 Qigong (approximately 45 minutes)\n18:00 Asha meditation\n19:00 Supper \nOn Sunday the evening looks slightly different: 16:30 Qigong (75 minutes) 19:00 HarpMood via internet broadcast 19:30 Supper \nWho Is This Spain Retreat For?\nThis retreat is suitable for everyone who would like to live more from their heart. This Spain retreat offers a period of rest\, relaxation\, reflection and deepening. It is suitable for both beginning and advanced Qigong practitioners. \n  \nTeachers: Wabke en Mathilde\nWabke\nWabke has focused her life for more than 20 years on applying the principles of LivingNâm in daily life. Later\, Qigong came onto her path as a method that clarifies the connection between body and mind and helps to come into greater harmony. In LivingNâm terms\, we call this better managing the four dimensions of ‘I/World’. \n  \n  \n  \nMathilde\nMathilde has practiced meditation and Qigong for many years and is inspired by various spiritual teachers. Increasingly\, she teaches from the awareness that we are essentially an expression of life itself\, and that when we start trusting in that again\, we naturally relax more and can move from ‘doing’ to ‘being’. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Garden of Nâm – A Beautiful Place for This Retreat in Spain\nDuring the Spain retreat we stay at the Garden of Nâm. In this beautiful place\, a retreat center with an organic garden has emerged over the past few years. A small group of residents lives here as much as possible in attunement and maintains a daily meditation rhythm. In the Qigong retreat there is the opportunity to join in this rhythm. \nThe Garden of Nâm is a place where residents and guests are invited to explore how to live optimally. The guiding principle for this journey of discovery is ‘Living Nâm’. \nLiving Nâm is based on an unknowable all-encompassing reality (or unity) that underlies all expressions of human life. In ‘One’ there is no distinction and no boundaries exist. This means that when we explore what we are as human beings\, we discover that we are inextricably connected in this whole and we contribute to this whole. \nWhen we consciously integrate this understanding into our daily life\, we naturally experience more harmony\, connection\, contentment and well-being. Because when you take good care of the other and your environment\, you take good care of yourself. \nLiving Nâm offers an ethic and vocabulary to translate the common thread found in all spiritual traditions into life in this era. \nYoginâm\nThe founder of Living Nâm is Yoginâm. This mystic dedicates his life entirely to living in Nâm and sharing what this implies. Yoginâm lives in Nïjar Monastery opposite the Garden. For those who wish\, there is the possibility to receive a live Harpmood or healing from Yoginâm.

SUMMARY:5 Days Men's Retreat October 2024
DESCRIPTION:Arrival 23 October – Departure 29 or 30 October \nSince ancient history men from all over the world have known that it is essential to gather with men and share in what is transcendental. In this 5 day retreat we provide powerful and transcending tools that men from all over the world have been using since thousands of years\, for the purpose of healing\, strength\, clarity and tranquility. With a program of daily meditations\, mindfulness\, Qi-gong\, walking meditation\, and the use of rhythms\, music and voice\, we slowly bring our busy minds back to a more natural and calmer state and strengthen our focus. Professional musician Alexander Gustave van Breemen has been guiding men in workshops\, sessions\, men’s rituals and retreats for more than 15 years. His international work on festivals\, conferences\, trainings\, retreats and workshops in Europe\, Asia\, The US and Africa has provided him with a widened experience of working and thinking within different cultures and backgrounds. For participants there is the opportunity to share in Yoginâm’s HarpMood and to reserve a private HarpMood or healing. \n  \n\n  \n  \nThe Program\nIn this 5 day retreat we provide powerful and transcending tools that men from all over the world have been using since thousands of years\, for healing\, strength\, clarity and tranquility. With our program we slowly bring our busy minds back to a more natural and calmer state and strengthen our focus. We become more receptive and open for the healing currents that are present. \n\n\nDaily meditations \n\n\nMindfulness \n\n\nQi-gong/ EBR (Energetic Body Re-allignment) \n\n\nWalking meditation \n\n\nRhythms\, music and voice \n\n\nAll meals included \n\n\n  \nAsha Meditation\nYou will learn the powerful method of Asha Meditation\, which was developed by Yoginâm for this modern age man and which you can easily integrate into your daily life. \n\n  \nQi-Gong/EBR\nThe morning program includes the profound method of EBR (Energetic Body Re-allignment).We sit behind laptops and on couches and drive cars for long periods of time\, which\, for many men\, has resulted in many physical complaints. The EBR program contains exercises from Qi Gong\, Hatha yoga\, martial arts\, and a fysiotherapeutic background\, that cover a wide area where these problems find their source. Men with back\, leg\, shoulder and neck problems\, experienced a gradual decrease\, or even disappearance\, of many of those problems\, by using this program on a daily basis. \n  \nWhat makes this retreat different?\nWe are located in The Garden of Nâm where everything is designed in the vision of Yoginâm\, the inspirator of LivingNâm (a way of living that is steered towards optimal living). Many people from different cultures and backgrounds from around the world have been visiting him to share in his healing resonance\, to benefit their lives. As The Garden is next to Yoginâm’s hermitage there is the rare opportunity for the participants to share in the healing resonance of Yoginâm’s HarpMood sessions. For those who feel the need\, it is also possible to book a personal HarpMood or healing. \n  \nAccommodation and Food\nDuring the retreat you will stay in one of the traditional\, Andalucian style guestrooms\, with in the background one of the most beautiful mountain areas near the coast of Andalucia\, Spain. The Garden of Nâm is an oasis of tranquility where you can walk along fruit vegetation\, exotic plants and trees\, where you can sit under the centrally located pergola or in little corners with cool shade and breathtaking views in all directions. Coming to The Garden of Nâm is coming to a garden of transformation. \nEnjoy healthy and homegrown food\, picked from the garden and prepared by our Ayurvedic cook. During the week you will be served a variety of ecological\, detoxing\, rejunvenating and tasteful meals. \n  \nRetreat Guidance\nMeditation- and music teacher\, professional musician\, father\, composer and experienced transcending sound & voice worker Alexander Gustave van Breemen has been guiding men in workshops\, sessions\, men’s rituals and retreats for more than 15 years. He uses music\, rhythm and voice as transforming tools in many of his programs and was inspired by Yoginâm who guided him on this journey towards optimal living since 2006. His international work on festivals\, conferences\, trainings\, retreats and workshops in Europe\, Asia\, The US and Africa has provided him with a widened experience of working and thinking within different cultures and backgrounds. \n  \nLocation\nWe are situated in Níjar\, one of the most beautiful villages of Andalucia. When you cross the bridge\, 2 minutes walking from The Garden\, you can enjoy a walk through the old village centre with its romantic\, narrow alleys and traditional\, Andalucian houses. You can take a walk up the mountain to the Atalaya tower for a stunning view over the entire area\, all the way up to the sea and the famous nature reservate of Cabo de Gata. In the old village centre you can enjoy a coffee or cold drink with tapas on the atmospherical terrace at one of the traditional Spanish cafés\, under amazingly shaped olive trees. During the retreat we will visit the mountain village Huebro\, with sensational views across the mountain\, where we can drink fresh\, mineral rich\, drinking water\, directly from the mountain source. \n  \nTransport\nNíjar is 20 minutes driving from Almeria Airport.

And where better to do this than in sunny southern Spain\, where we can still enjoy the last bit of summer glory? \nWhat to Expect?\nDuring this Qigong retreat\, we will focus on the Yin and Yang organs\, each with their own meridians\, movements\, sounds\, and colors. You will also learn the Qigong form Ba Duan Jin\, which brings everything together. The Qigong lessons are harmoniously integrated into the daily rhythm of (vegetarian) meals and meditations at The Garden of Nâm. Participation in the meditations is optional and\, along with the delicious meals\, is included in the price. \nPractical Information\nThe price of the retreat depends on the type of room and includes vegetarian meals and Qigong workshops (for 5 days\, €350-600 per person). The flight is not included. A direct flight is available on September 25 from Rotterdam (Transavia) to Almeria (Spain) and back on September 30. \nRegister Now!\nWould you like to participate in this transformative experience and end the year with inner peace and strength?
