Daoist Flow Retreats

'I can’t recommend Mimi Kuo-Deemer’s retreats highly enough. I feel wonderful inside and out. I am blown away, and absolutely transformed'.
​– Kat Farrants, Founder of Movement for Modern Life
Retreats offer the space to rejuvenate, slow down, step back from daily life, and engage more in the process of attuning to oneself and one's overall wellbeing.  I offer different retreats each year, and each retreat I teach I am reminded of how the opportunity to step back can create profound insight and transform.  Just imagine how you might feel at the end of a good class and expand that into one, 3 or 7 days. That is what a retreat can be like – a space where greater clarity and an a steadier heart are cultivated and brought into an everyday consciousness.

Moving into Stillness A Yoga, Meditation and Qigong Silent Retreat
​Oxfordshire November 18-22, 2020
Poundon House
This five-day retreat will explore the ways we can step away from the busyness of life and move into the quiet stillness of the the winter months.  The emphasis will be on the season of winter,  the element of water and qualities of stillness and deep rest –  whether that be in quiet meditation or more fluid, moving practices from qigong and yoga.  Set in the tranquil surroundings of Poundon House, Oxfordshire, this retreat will help you align with the seasonal characteristics of winter and the water element in Chinese medicine through a combination of daily meditation, qigong and yoga practices. Most of the retreat will be held in silence, though the beginning and end of the retreat will offer time to transition into and out of working with group silence.  James Rafael will be helping facilitate on the retreat.
