Themes & Focus

Qigong & Autumn Energy

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is linked to the lungs and large intestine

— the organs of letting go and processing. Our Qigong supports this natural cycle

with movement, breath, and reflection.

Reflection Time

Use your afternoons and evening circles to explore:

• What am I ready to release?

• What will I carry forward into winter?

• What brings me clarity and nourishment?

Nature Immersion

Walking meditations, mindful breathing, and scenic hikes invite you to deepen your connection with the natural world.

Tips for Your Retreat

• Dress in layers for variable mountain weather and comfy for Qigong practice (no

belt)

• Bring a reusable water bottle and sturdy walking shoes

• Journal daily to anchor your reflections

• Be kind to yourself: rest when needed, and honor your pace
