Origins Centre, Balingup WA
Step out of the noise and into the body.
This is a four-day retreat of gentle Qi-Gong, forest stillness, and elemental reconnection, held on the quiet, atmospheric grounds of the Origins Centre in the South West.
Across four days, we move slowly. We breathe, soften, and return to rhythm. Practice unfolds through flowing Qi-Gong, time in nature, shared meals, firelight, and spacious evenings beneath the trees.
Each retreat is held in a different season, offering its own texture and quality, yet the heart of the experience remains the same โ simplicity, presence, and grounded flow.
These retreats are intentionally small and tend to fill steadily.

An accessible introduction to the Shi-Ba-Shi system, learning the 18 foundational movements of Qi-Gong. The practice is slow, flowing, and grounding, with an emphasis on ease rather than effort.
This retreat is well suited for beginners and those wishing to enter Qi-Gong through felt experience rather than intellectual complexity. The focus is on rhythm, breath, alignment, and embodied presence.
