There are several building block components to the workshop, which attendees can choose from, or register for the entire Retreat Weekend.  We will begin Friday evening with a Temascal, a Sweat Lodge, for purification and for unifying in Ceremony (6-8). Afterwards we share a Kambo (Frog Medicine) Ceremony (830-1130) for Somatic cleansing and harmonizing Mind and Body.   Saturday morning (10-1) Master Cheng will present and dialogue about the 5 Elements, and share experiential exercises.  Courtni will offer shamanic drumming to support Meditation techniques. After lunch (Annapurna’s is at the corner) we will continue beginning with an exercise to derive Chi from digestion.  These exercises will include sitting, reclining and squatting exercises.

In the afternoon (2-5) we will learn Master Cheng’s 18 minute TaiChiZen routine.  Taichizen** practice contains a simple 18 minutes daily routine that applies 5 postures of mind-body-spirit re-alignment in standing, sitting, sleeping, walking & free styles, which utilizes 3 basic vertical energy lines and 7 spiraling loops. Practitioner learns to manifest multiple mind-body Mandala figures for the balance and transformation of energy, emotion & consciousness.

There will also be time for Q&A and for a dialogue about the similarities between Shamanic Medicine Wheel (Finding The Force: 4 Steps Into the Vortex***) and the 5 Elements System.  We will focus on specific elements, balancing and anchoring them in order to Step Into the 5th Element, The Vortex, the Flow.

We will also offer an Amrita Ceremony (7-11) for Full Retreat Guests only.  This is a Traditional Native Ceremony which opens the portals to Higher Consciousness through the ingestion of Mimosa Root Bark and Ayahuasca Vine.  Amrita refers to the substance identified as DMT, the Spirit Molecule, which is mainly produced at Birth and Death, and in Transcendental States of Meditation.  It allows the practitioner to integrate powerful levels of Awareness, and release blockages from this life and others.

**Taichizen is a modern holistic mind-body integrative system promoting "Enlightenment Living"（明心禅) .  Taichizen started in the 90's, and was brought back to China after the Sichuan earthquake of 2008.  Now it has over fifty centers in US and China. Taichizen has its roots in China. It brings together the ancient inner energy principles of Taichi with other internal and Yoga arts. This unique system embodies and enhances the timeless transformational wisdom of the East under the modern illumination of western transpersonal psychology, making them applicable in our hectic, modern lives.  

***Finding The Force is a Unique series of Teachings for a More Conscious World.  Ancient Wisdom modernized for Today’s Leaders, including Daily Practices from around the world, Medicine Ceremony, Video Podcasts and Interviews with World-Renowned Experts.  It has its roots in Pueblo and Creek Native American Shamanic Practices through rare uninterrupted lineage. Courtni is a registered Minister and graduate of American University’s School of International Service and studied under the tutelage of Don Patricio Dominguez in New Mexico for 7 years for her Ministerial Degree.
