September 27th & 28th, 2025

This year’s Weekend Retreat includes a full day of Nanlaoshu practice on Saturday and a Sunday morning practice, followed by a luncheon to honor Master Koo and celebrate his birthday. Led by senior teachers, the weekend intensive is designed to offer practitioners—new and old alike—a deeper immersion into the practice, transforming our understanding of Nanlaoshu and bringing a more nuanced and profound sense of peacefulness and well-being. Beginners are welcome, and will be led carefully through the qi gong exercises, discovering how the practice can benefit and enrich their lives. Those unable to attend the whole weekend are welcome to come for either day. The morning meditations and the Sunday morning practice will available on Zoom.
