3-day Qigong and Meditation Retreat

Disclaimer: This retreat is not a women's only offering. We will be focused on practices that support womens' health like Swimming Dragon and endocrine-supporting practices.

Join Caryn Boyd Diel and Wren McLaughlin for a three-day retreat by the sea at Semiahmoo. This retreat is designed to support rest, reflection, and nervous system renewal within the quiet beauty of the coastal landscape—where land, sea, and sky meet.
We will gather on land that was once home to a Semiahmoo village. For thousands of years, the Straits Salish people of Semiahmoo lived in close relationship with this place, their lives shaped by the seasonal arrival of fish and birds, the cycles of wild plants, and ceremonial observances marking the passages of life. In our time together, we will honor this lineage by continuing an observance of nature and the changing seasons, approaching the land with gratitude, respect, and care.

Our time together will weave together lectures, guided meditations, seasonal Qigong forms, and spacious opportunities to connect deeply with the natural world. Practices will include bone breathing Qigong, Incense Qigong, Swimming Dragon, organ- and endocrine-supporting meditations, Tao Yin, and strengthening of the lower Dantian. We will also introduce Daoist sun and moon practices and shamanic shaking Qigong.

These simple yet profound practices are accessible to all levels and are designed to support emotional balance, reduce stress, and gently invite the body into a more restorative, resilient state.
The weekend will conclude with a shared potluck gathering, offering time to connect, reflect, and celebrate the community formed over our days together.

This retreat is open to adults of all ages and levels of experience.
Cost is $600 plus tax with earlybird registration deadline May 1st 2026.
