Crete Retreat
We are delighted and excited for the Crete Retreat in Summer 2024!
Join us for a transformative immersion into Classical Taoist practices, Chi Kung internal alchemy, and hands-on TaoTouch Chi Nei Tsang. The setting of Orizon Center for Life & Creation, on the amazing, powerful island of Crete, Greece, is the perfect place to dive into these practices and into one's self, while extending your chi to help others heal from within. Taught by the master practitioner and instructor Gilles Marin.
The Crete Retreat is not simply a training retreat. It is equally, if not moreso, a personal experience where the conditions and practices set the environment for an inner healing journey. The retreat begins with 5 days of TaoTouch Chi Kung Incubation Practices, a combination of classical Taoist and ancient Greek internal philosophy and functional practices. From here, we then dive into the hands-on Chi Nei Tsang training, with internal Chi Kung woven in throughout the month as well.
The order of classes allows students to start building a foundation of knowledge, understanding, and observation of your own level of Chi so you can begin to welcome, experience, and utilize Universal Forces safely and with compassion for yourselves and the people who you work with, whether fellow students or future clients.
The training includes all hands-on TaoTouch Chi Nei Tsang techniques and Chi Kung practices including Healing Buddha Palms, Space and Boundaries Chi Kung, Fusion Meditation, and Sleeping and Dreaming Chi Kung, along with the systematic inclusion of the use of the Biology of Consciousness.
There will be two-day breaks in between modules to allow for assimilation... and to enjoy the amazing island!

"What an amazing group! I enjoyed the community, the location of the center (by the beach and walking distance to town), the availability of cars/drivers seemed to always work out, the day trips on days off were very rich and memorable- what a dream to enjoy a slower pace of life! I was also very grateful for the afternoon siestas to rest my body and brain. It was much needed. The teachings were excellent- very clear. The Akrimios restaurant - 5 stars out of 5. So great!
Thank you guys for such a wonderful, educational, life-changing trip!"
