Qi Medicine: Healing through Qigong and Nature

Experience the medicine of Qigong and Nature Connection on this transformative inner journey back to yourself.

Join Qigong teacher, author, and somatic educator Stephanie Nosco, alongside nature connection guide and educator Ben Leggett, for this special silent retreat that explores the art of Qigong and the practice of deep relationship with the living world.

We will practice in social silence, encouraging the Shen (mind/attention) to settle into the body and the land, so we can listen more deeply to our intuitive capacities and the wisdom of nature. The forest, ocean, and sky will serve as our teachers, offering a living mirror as we move, breathe, and open to the energy of life all around us.

In this retreat, we’ll explore the Animal Frolics of the bear, crane, and deer—among the oldest known Qigong forms, each carrying ancient medicine and teachings drawn from the natural world. Through learning to move like these animals—grounded, graceful, and vital—we awaken the innate wisdom that arises when the body leads and the mind listens.

The retreat includes guided Qigong sessions, silent meditation, meridian stretching, self-acupressure, and contemplative time in nature—all led by Stephanie. Ben will guide participants in deepening their sensory awareness and relationship with the land through practices of nature connection.

Restore your energy, remember your belonging, and awaken to the quiet guidance of the living world.

Testimonial

“I was dealing with some grief and stress and doing Qi gong and sharing tea in a beautiful place felt like it would be just what I needed. It turned out even better than I imagined. I was held by silence and the whole program. I couldn’t recommend more highly!”- Doren Day
