TAI CHI & HEALTH

​

An ancient art form sometimes described as ‘meditation with movement’, Tai Chi has been shown to promote vibrant mental and physical health in people who practice regularly. Young and old alike benefit from its slow, flowing body movements that combine concentration, balance, and awareness. At this weekend retreat in Bali, special attention is given to the ways Tai Chi can be used to support mind-body health. Participants will learn a number of techniques, including five body-loosening methods, breathing exercises, qi gong meditations, and a Tai Chi short form that can be easily mastered by beginners and practiced in just a few minutes every day. Special emphasis is given to making Tai Chi part of a naturally healthy lifestyle.

This retreat is an entirely not-for-profit event. It is organized by the Suvarna Dharma Chakra Loka Foundation, and is being hosted by the Bali Purnati Center for the Arts, also a not-for-profit foundation.

​

All proceeds from this event will be used for the development of the Suvarna Dharma Chakra Loka Foundation facilities in Taro, Bali. Under the patronage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Venerable Dagpo Lama Rinpoche, these regional retreat facilities are to support study, reflection, and meditation of the Buddhadharma.

​

Upon invitation, renowned Tai Chi master Rod Lee is donating his time and expertise to join the retreat as the featured presenter.

​

We are grateful to all who have supported this event, and we hope that it brings lasting benefit to all participants.
