Beginner Tai Chi & Meditation Retreat

Service Description

Tai Chi & Beginners 1-Day Meditation Retreats are a profound introduction to both Tai Chi and Triple Crane Retreat Centers' approach to interdisciplinary spiritual practice. These retreats are great for new students as well as advanced meditators. Triple Crane's profound approach to Yoga & Meditation is open to using a variety of physical practices to support the movement into deep meditation, like yoga poses, gong fa, dance, tai chi, etc. At Triple Crane, this is referred to as the dynamic phase of practice. Join us for this retreat to see how the right use of dynamic exercise leads to deeper and more profound meditation. These 1-Day Meditation Retreats are a great introduction to people who are new to day-long meditation practices. New students can receive one-on-one guidance from Master level teachers at Triple Crane. These practices are also well suited for experienced meditators who want to go deeper by experiencing TCRC's unique use of active (Tai Chi and Yoga) and passive (meditation).
