Emei Five Animal Qigong Summer Retreat with Master Liu He In-Person

Emei Five Animal Qigong
Where Mindful Movement, Medicine, and Philosophy Converge

High among the mist-veiled peaks of China’s sacred mountain, Mount Emei preserves a living tradition guided by an ancient truth.

Here, intentional movement and healing have never been separate paths. Strength refines vitality. Movement restores balance.

Three Dimensions, One Shen (Spirit)

Emei is not simply a place—it is an ecosystem of spirit, movement, and life.

Experience the Five Animal Qigong in Living Nature

This summer, you are invited to step into this living lineage.

Join Master Liu He for an immersive retreat surrounded by the ancient, beautiful forests of Oregon. In this intimate natural setting, the Emei Five-Animal Qigong reveals its true depth and subtlety.

Each routine embodies the essence of the deer’s grace, the tiger’s power, the bear’s rooted strength, the monkey’s agility, and the crane’s serenity. Through guided visualization and embodied practice, you will learn to:

• Awaken your natural instinct and sharpen sensory awareness—an invaluable skill in today’s fast-paced world
• Cultivate strength without tension
• Increase flexibility without strain
• Harmonize breath, intention, and movement
• Nourish vitality while refining awareness

Rooted in Daoist subtlety and illuminated by Buddhist clarity, this practice becomes more than movement—it becomes a path of integration.

Body and mind. Effort and ease. Discipline and nourishment.

IN-PERSON Retreat for our July sessions!

We plan to gather in person this summer at the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center! We look forward to connecting with you!
The facilities provide a lodge-type feel with many outdoor spaces, a large lobby, a library, and more! Magnificent western red cedars grace the grounds. The natural forest setting has been preserved. Trails take you through the woods and along the streams that meander around the grounds. Their chef and culinary team make sure your meals nourish your mind and body so you can focus on retreat.

The Alton L. Collins Retreat Center is dedicated to offering a safe, quality environment for growth and reflection for service worldwide. The center is nestled in a Pacific northwestern forest surrounded by majestic, moss-covered cedar, spruce, fir, hemlock, and big-leaf maple. The natural environment supports ferns, trillium, and salmonberry bushes covering the forest floor.
