I don’t have much to say about my silent retreat weekend. Hahaha!

In all seriousness, it’s not the type of experience that words can describe. But what I will say, is that this silent retreat was softer for me than ones in the past…and part of the reason is that it involved movement.

Past retreats were simply silent seated meditation practice. This year, Qigong was added. It’s a gentle movement practice that intentionally works with qi/chi/prana/life-force energy. And it’s powerful!

So the combination of silent stillness AND movement was a potent combination that allowed for deep transformation and evolution. Both movement and stillness are valuable.

I’m grateful for my teacher and fellow participants. And I’m excited to see how the experience permeates throughout my life.
