Freedom from Suffering: A Weekend of Healing through Unconditional Self-Love, Mindfulness Meditation & Qi Gong
January 31–February 2, 2025
Experiential Retreats, Meditation & Mindfulness, On Land Retreats, Personal Transformation, Upcoming Qigong Retreats
Join international bestselling author Blake D. Bauer for a life-changing weekend that will help you to understand why suffering such as anxiety, depression, chronic self-doubt, addiction, illness, and relationship problems are logical cries from your body, soul, and subconscious mind asking you to finally value, accept, forgive, care for, and be true to yourself in the present.
Now more than ever we need to understand exactly how to slow down, regulate our nervous system, find our center, and care for our mental, emotional, and physical health in very grounded and practical ways. In support of this, the retreat will provide clear instruction and a safe environment to release illness-causing stress, transform negative thinking, address your core fears, mend old emotional wounds, and find clarity around shaping the life and health you want.
Blake will share the seven optimal human habits each of us must master in order to heal, be well, and find lasting peace. These practices represent exactly how to love yourself, how to change your life, and how to cultivate deep presence and self-respect.
The weekend will also offer real connection and in-depth discussion while you identify and heal your personal habits of self-harm, self-rejection, and self-betrayal. You will learn two of the most effective forms of self-care available – mindfulness meditation and qi gong healing exercises – both of which will help unlock the stuck energy, blood, and emotion that is keeping you unhappy, sick, or trapped.
Some suffering is simply part of human life. But we unintentionally create additional suffering each day because we never learned how to have a healthy and optimal relationship to ourselves. This experience in the mountains will finally help you understand exactly how to stop hurting yourself, how to trust yourself, how to feel worthy, and how to enjoy your life without regret and without feeling guilty for wanting to be happy, well, and loved.
Throughout this retreat, learn practical skills to:
- Move beyond self-doubt
