Taoist Transformation Retreat With George Thompson

Taoist Transformation  Retreat With George Thompson 

‘Knowing others is intelligence; Knowing yourself is true wisdom.’
— Laozi, ancient Chinese Philosopher (~500BC)

The Daoists were a group of ancient Chinese philosophers that developed powerful insights into the principles that shape us and the universe. They found that only when when we understand who we really are, is peace and balance possible.

This intimate retreat of just 30 people, aims to equip you with the ideas and practices to make Daoist wisdom an effortless part of your life.

We’ll meditate together. We’ll explore ideas for your mind, body and relationships. We’ll embody the ideas through simple qi gong and taiji movements. We’ll play, dance and sing. We’ll spend time camping in nature. We’ll explore a spirituality grounded in love and science.

Your birthright is an immense capacity for peace, love and joy. It’s time to access it.

About George Thompson 

George is a filmmaker, Tai Chi teacher & communicator of Daoist philosophy: the way of nature. His educational films have been watched over 15 million times.

“Daoism has changed my life. Over the past 6 years I have studied Daoism in China with my Tai Chi Master, Master Gu. I’ve learned not to take my harsh inner critic so seriously. I’ve felt more joyful and connected to our beautiful living planet. I better understand our societal problems and the way back to balance. I am no Master or Guru, I am a life long student of the Dao. But I hope and believe that you will get a lot of value out of our time together. I invite you to get deeper with me in the spirit of exploration.”

“There is endless wisdom to learn from Daoism. George is a superb teacher. Already I can feel myself slowing down in my daily life, finding joy in the everyday moments, and being less judgemental. It’s a process but I feel much more equipped on the journey now!”
Abi

“George has a real gift for communicating the essence of these ideas. So many times I have been brought back to a healthy perspective on life through engaging with his teaching. Can't recommend enough.”
