 Qi Gong & Wellness Retreat with Slavomir Latko In Marrakech, Morocco 
February 15 - 19, 2024 

Join this unique retreat to heal and reconnect with nature and to rejuvenate your body and mind. It will leave you feeling inspired, strengthened, and peaceful, with tools and techniques you can use long after this trip. Our primary focus will be to rediscover and cultivate inner peace through conscious movement, sound baths, self-care techniques and breath work. We will start with foundation practices so no previous experience is required. Just bring along sincere willingness to stretch your body and mind, while exploring the interplay of discipline and joyful spontaneity.

 You will be hosted at gorgeous Jnane Tamsna 
 
 Nestled in the heart of the La Palmarie district of Marrakech, this venue is so much more than an exquisite hotel – it’s a welcoming retreat for those who seek beauty and magic. True to its name, Jnane Tamsna (“Big Garden”) immerses you in the sights, sounds and scents of a North African garden. The hotel has five pools which can be enjoyed throughout the day by all guests, and this includes two heated pools. When it’s time for meals, you can wander through the organic gardens to enjoy a set menu, which is adjusted depending on the produce available in the hotel’s own vegetable patch. Expect delicious twists on the traditional Moroccan tagine, as well as melt-off-the-bone chicken dishes served with a variety of colourful vegetables. 

Our healing journey will be facilitated by the following arts:

Qigong 
 
 Qigong (often spelt Chi Kung, 氣功) is a "mind-body" wellness practice in a category of exercise called Meditative Movement which integrates exercise, movement, posture, breathing, and awareness. This holistic method predates recorded history and has influenced the early root of Classical Chinese Medicine while still being an integral part of modern Chinese healthcare, along with acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal medicine. It requires no special equipment and has some amazing health benefits by cultivating peaceful mind while strengthening your whole body. 
 
 Sound Therapy 
 
 During this sound experience, therapeutic instruments are played in a manner designed to relax, rejuvenate, and take the listener on a journey of self-discovery and inner exploration. The sounds promote deep relaxation, peace and an expansion of consciousness, as well as opening the body’s subtle energetic system allowing for profound level of unwinding at the end of the day. 
 
 Breath-work 
 
 These exercises are breathing practices designed to activate the diaphragm muscle, expand the lungs, and invoke the body's innate relaxation response. Breathing techniques play a very important role in “methods of building the foundation”. In fact, correct, deep and quiet breathing helps to create us conditions under which the inner balance, harmony and inner peace can be achieved as quickly as possible. We will cover in details first stages of Daoist breath: slow (慢man), deep (深 shen), fine (细 xi), and even (均 jun). 
 
 
 Daoist Sleep 
 
 This side of ancient self care aims at improving the quality of our rest both physically and mentally during the natural yin phase occurring every nighttime. Discover simple methods of supporting sleep hygiene and other lifestyle habits that can help relieve sleep disorders from the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine. Our classes will contain both theory and introductory practices that draw our attention inwards, where we can surf from the states of wakefulness into deep and restorative sleep.
