Vitality Chi Kung Residential Retreats set the scene for a joyful and deeply relaxing journey into self healing. Join us in gentle and nurturing practices of Chi Kung that rejuvenate vital life energy for radiant health and well-being. In this Retreat you will learn simple and effective Chi Kung techniques you can take home for your personal practice. These empowering skills promote and maintain good health and bring balance and harmony to life, enabling you to take vitality and well-being into your own hands.

Vitality Chi Kung Residential Retreats are held in a secluded and serene rainforest location just 3 minutes from beautiful Byron Bay. In this tranquil and supportive environment you can enjoy delicious, healthy organic food and fresh juices, twice daily Chi Kung classes and healing meditations, deep breathing techniques and guided relaxation, chanting and voice meditations, creative art sessions, nature walks and stunning ocean views.

Each magical day begins with Chi Kung to awaken the energy system and revitalize the body and mind. This is followed by fresh Juice and a healthy, organic breakfast to support the cleansing and renewal process. Throughout the morning there is plenty of time to rest and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. A one hour luxurious massage session is included as part of the Retreat. In the late morning you will be guided through a Chi Kung self healing meditation.

After a delicious and nourishing lunch, there will be an energy workshop - either learning to give and receive a Zen Shiatzu head, neck and shoulders massage, or a Creative Art session where our imagination can be explored in a fun and playful way.

The afternoon Chi Kung practice is calming and centering with a focus on postural alignment, principles of balance and movement, and relaxation techniques.

After dinner there will be a guided meditation to enhance the healing experience, or a Chanting session to deepen our healing through the gentle vibrations of the voice. Join in or simply lay back and listen to the harmonious expressions of your heart. All activities are optional so you do as much or as little as you like. There is time for you to both fully immerse yourself in a superb Chi Kung healing experience, and take time out to reflect on your personal life journey.
