7-Day Retreat: January 7-13, 2027

Daoist Arts of Oregon

Deepening Stillness, Connection, and Internal Cultivation

The 2027 Winter Retreat will focus on deepening our internal cultivation through stillness, movement, and greater awareness of the body's energetic connections.

Throughout the retreat, we will explore:

  • Deeper activation of the Lower Dan Tian (下丹田) through stillness, allowing awareness and internal connection to develop naturally.

  • Opening the leg channels to support greater connection between the feet, legs, and Lower Dan Tian.

  • Deepening our understanding of Ba Duan Jin (八段锦), the Eight Pieces of Brocade, through more refined movement, alignment, and internal awareness.

  • Developing comfort with sitting meditation, learning to settle into stillness with greater ease and stability.

  • Refining standing practice, cultivating a continuous connection from the feet through the Lower Dan Tian to the crown of the head.

The retreat will emphasize the relationship between stillness and movement, allowing each practice to inform and deepen the others. Through sustained practice, we will work toward greater stability, integration, and refinement in our internal cultivation.
