AWAKEN RETREAT WITH THOMAS DROGE

Come together in community for three days of Qi Gong partner practice, meditation, writing, nature walking, and music. Reflect upon the wisdom of the ancient world all around us. Learn how to tap into this energy and let it guide you.

Join us in at the foot of the beautiful Berkshire Mountains from November 11-13, 2018 for the first Pathfinder training and retreat.

Restore and practice in a space designed for healing and transformation. You'll learn a Shamanic Qi Gong form you can practice at home and Level 1 techniques from the Pathfinder process. You will also join a community of practitioners who share and grow together, supported by Thomas and the Pathfinder Institute. Click for more info & registration.

Thomas Droge is a Chinese medicine doctor, author, and founder of Pathfinder Institute. He has been studying Daoist methods and practices of self-cultivation since 1983. Thomas teaches weekly Qi Gong and Tai Ji classes. You can learn more about Thomas here.
