Retreats & Workshops

Immersive experiences to slow down, reconnect and restore balance.

A Space to Reconnect

Through retreats and workshops, I offer immersive experiences combining Qi Gong, guided breathing, meditation, energy awareness and deep rest.

These moments are created for people who wish to step away from daily life, reconnect with themselves and experience greater calm, clarity and presence.

Drawing on my experience of leading retreats and workshops internationally, I am currently developing future offerings in France, with the same intention of creating meaningful experiences rooted in Daoist Qi Gong, presence and connection with nature.

Retreat Philosophy

These retreats are not about performance or escaping everyday life.

They are an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your breath, your body and the natural world, creating space for greater presence, balance and inner calm.

Through Daoist Therapeutic Qi Gong, breathing practices, meditation, mindful movement and moments of silence, each retreat is designed to support both personal well-being and meaningful human connection.

Whether you come to deepen your Qi Gong practice, restore your energy or simply take time for yourself, the intention is to create a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of age or previous experience.

As every retreat is carefully designed, each programme may vary according to the location, the season and the participants, while remaining faithful to the same philosophy of presence, simplicity and authenticity.

In stillness, we often find what we have been missing.

Kind Words

I warmly recommend Ani’s Qigong retreats. It was a beautiful experience that combined movement, learning, rest, and connection in a peaceful setting. Ani is attentive, knowledgeable, and adapts to each student so everyone can develop at their own pace. Whether you are new to Qigong or already practicing, the retreat is a nourishing and worthwhile experience.

I joined Ani’s Qigong retreat with no prior experience and it turned out to be an incredibly enriching experience. Through movement, breathing, and meditation, I discovered a beautiful practice that brought more balance and calm into my life. Ani’s warm guidance and the supportive atmosphere of the group made the weekend truly special.

Ani’s Qigong practice was a true gift for my body, mind, and heart. It helped me relieve sciatica and neck stiffness, while also giving me valuable tools to stay grounded during a difficult emotional period. I am forever grateful for her guidance and for the caring community she creates around her practice.
