MAIN DETAILS
ABOUT THE JOURNEY
Trip dates for 2008: Friday, March 21 - Friday, April 4, 2008
The essence of these special and unique trips is one of community and individuation of experience. These intentions have been wonderfully crafted and skillfully embodied on each trip.
One very effective tool has been feedback received by the participants, which becomes the fuel for change and growth of future trips. One trip influences the next and evolves as a result.
The intention for this year's Daoist Journey is on Personal Reflection and Advancement. It is a time for reflecting on the completion of a major twelve cycle, bringing closure and completion to that cycle, and moving forward into the next twelve year cycle beginning with the Year of the Rat. To facilitate this process we will spend each day as follows:
- Early morning Daoist Qigong with Dr. Seth (1 hour)
- Silent breakfast at the Daoist Hotel
- Daoist Meditation and Practice with Master Zhang (2 hours)
- Lunch at the Temple
- Dao Yin Mindful Walking, journaling and hiking Mt Qing Chen (4 hours)
- Dinner at the Temple
- Sun Tai Chi with Master Mong (2 hours)
"Dr. Seth Lefkowitz has lead over 16 trips to China. Each has been instrumental to my growth, evolution, and change. From my first journey in 1995 when I received my D.M.Q. (Doctor of Medical Qigong) to last year’s, each has been special with a unique energetic signature which would set the trip apart from any other. But as I warn all potential participants: Be forewarned, this is not a Tour! Rather, it is a Journey. A tour observes and sees. A Journey embodies and changes. When you say Yes to this Journey, you set into motion a wheel which will forever change your life."
