Retreat Training in JAPAN

Training in the mountains has a long history in the Taoist School.  Taoists feel that Mountains hold a very strong, natural energy which supports our practice, and also helps us to find quietude and peacefulness through spending time in the beautiful green nature and tree filled valleys. 

This Taoist view holds that training in the Mountains helps in the development of our Qi Energy.  The Taoist views that by learning to Cultivate our Qi Energy, one may come to deeply transform their health, strengthen the physical body,  enhance longevity, and develop the wisdom mind.

The Taoists teach us that it is very helpful for us to take Retreats in Nature - to focus on our personal practice, relax, and take time away from our usual daily schedule and work.  In our Taoist Inner Alchemy Retreat on Mount Mitake this October, we will guide our members to transform their Body, enhance Vitality and cultivate their Inner Qi Energy to a profound level in a retreat setting in the beautiful nature area of this special mountain.

During our  ONLINE training in Mount Mitake members will learn a traditional and complete method of Taoist Qigong and Inner Alchemy Practice - students will be guided in the related theory, and also receive face to face transmissions.  Online Retreat Training  may open up a wonderful realm of experience, and profound possibilities.  This will truly be an amazing and very special event - we look forward to training ONLINE with you from Sacred Mount Mitake this October 1 - 9, 2025.

 Present Moment Awareness 

The rays of the sun, moon, and stars nourish our bodies - the five grains of the earth nurture our spirits - all are the gifts of Nature and the Universal Source.

Even a drop of water or a grain of rice which we receive is the result of meritorious work and the hard labor of many. 

Take a moment to be Aware of this Present Moment -

JAPAN RETREAT ☯︎ 2025 

Inner Alchemy Meditation & Qigong Training

During our time training together ONLINE from Japan, we will learn traditional forms and practice methods of Taoist Qigong, Breathwork and Inner Alchemy Meditation drawing from the following sources:

 1. Taoist Breath Training - 

 We will teach a progressive Breath Work Method to regain the Original Breathing Pattern experienced in Childhood.  These breathing methods will naturally transform the negative emotional patterns, calm the mind and return one to a more centered and Pure Heart State - naturally leading to building and enhancing the Inner Energy.  This is a Foundation Method to create the conditions which will then allow one to practice at a deeper level and progress to the work of Developing the Dantian Center.

2. Awakening the Dantian Center - 

Working with and developing the Dantian is perhaps the most important first step.  We will guide members in systematic methods to Open, Develop, and Solidify the Dantian Center - bringing one to return to a more youthful state of Vital Health, Inner Peace, and also enhance Physical Transformation.

3. Inner Alchemy - Taoist Meditation Training - 

Our main focus in this Retreat Training will be to transmit the Way of Inner Alchemy Practice. We will train in organized Preperation Methods such as the Taoist Seated TaoYin Methods, Yi Jin Jing - Tendon Transformation Postures, Hand Mudra, Awakening the Dantian Center, and developing the Automatic Circulation of the Microcosmic Orbit. This approach to Inner Alchemy Practice will lead the student to align with the Seasonal Cycles of Nature.  These Inner States will lead to a profound harmony with the Inner Meridian System, developing Inner Energy, Deep Rejuvenation of the physical body, Resting in Stillness and Peace - leading one to the experience of Union with Nature. 

4. Taoist Qigong Training - 

During our retreat, we will explore and learn sections of movements taken  - Taoist Qigong Practice -  seeking to bring balance to the Body, harmonize the Energy Channels,  Enhancing Circulation, Calming the Mind, and bringing a Deep Relaxation to the nervous system.  When we engage for long periods of Stillness Meditation Practice - it is important to balance the Stillness with more Movement based Qigong at times.

***NOTE: the teaching contents, lectures and daily lessons will be subject to changes, depending on the student group, and the progress of development we move through during the course of our Retreat Training  - our focus is on the Internal Development of the Student and the Awakening of Wisdom and Insight through Taoist Inner Alchemy Training.
