In Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast California
October 24 - 27
Join Sagrada's 4-day-3 night Qi Gong and Hiking Retreat in Central Coast California.
Sacred Self Care, & Conscious Trekking Led by Sagrada Wellness Proprietor Eva Inglizian L.AC.
This is a unique retreat designed to revitalize your energy, calm your mind, and ground you with the ancient wisdom of Qi Gong and mindful time spent in nature. Qi, which means energy, and Gong, which means skill, is cultivating vital life energy in the body. Enjoy gentle, slow-moving physical exercises, meditation, and visualization that will improve your overall health, and slow down the aging process by soothing your nervous system allowing you to tap into your natural, innate healing potential. This unique retreat is a four-day self-care journey at Sagrada Wellness on the peaceful Central Coast of California. Nourish yourself with lovingly prepared vegetarian cuisine around Sagrada's communal table while making new friends. Sip on Eva's Cherished Chai tea and other healthy, hand-blended herbal teas. A tonic elixir and tea-making class with Eva, Qi Gong classes, and daily led hikes with Scott will color your day with new inspiration and deep relaxation.
Qi Gong is an ancient healing modality that has been practiced for centuries with medical, and spiritual benefits. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong was developed into a systemic healing art to preserve well-being and vitality. Regular Qi Gong practice has been linked to improved circulation, lowered blood pressure, reduced stress and anxiety, and improved immune function. Eva, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, will guide you through pleasant Qi Gong exercises to cultivate your energy and align you with your mind-body-spirit health. Participants will become sensitive to their own Qi through the practice of acupressure, self-massage, slow, mindful movement, and healing-guided visualizations.
After breakfast, we will head out on pristine trails that traverse through oak and pine grooves, rolling hills, sage, and wildflowers. Hikes are led peacefully and compassionately that will ground you in the here and now.
