4 Day Integration Retreat "Become Your Own Medicine" – Turn your peak experiences into lasting change.

Felicia is a dedicated Taiji Qi Gong practitioner and instructor, trained under the direct guidance of Shaolin Master Shi Heng Zuan. After years of rigorous training and discipline, she was invited—together with only a handful of students worldwide—to become his assistant. Today, as a certified instructor of Wu-Ma Taiji Qi Gong from the Shanghai lineage, she shares ancient practices for body, mind, and spirit while embodying a profound commitment to daily self-practice. Her teaching is both rooted in tradition and alive with personal devotion, offering participants a clear path into the transformative power of Qi Gong. Under her Master’s guidance, Felicia learned not only powerful sequences such as Chan Yuan Gong, Fang Song Gong, Taiji, Tui Shou as well as rooting and joint-opening routines but also the subtle internal dynamics that make true practice possible: how to cultivate inner release, open the body for Qi to flow, and root deeply into the forces of heaven and earth. In her retreats, Felicia emphasizes more than just learning the methods—she helps participants discover how to make these practices their own. Because the real transformation does not come from the teacher, but from the student’s commitment to return to practice, again and again, with devotion and joy. A testimonial from Yu Sakamoto, a student in a Qi Gong retreat I was teaching in Pai, Thailand (sharing with consent): Dear Felicia, I would like you to know how much you touched me by your presence, your dedication, patience, tenacy and strength during the recent retreat in Pai. I learned sooooo much and sooooo deeply not only about the Taiji Qigong but also about life. After every small movement, you said 'come back''come back''come back'... very simple word, but with such pure presence. With hundreds of repetition (!!), it became clear to me this is the answer and it became my Mantra for everyday life. Every time I catch myself lost in thinking, I say to myself 'come back' and focus on my breath/movement and stay in my body. 'Come back' 'come back' and I remember your voice and I do 'Chiiii-aaaaan' with smile. Then everything looks so fresh again. On the last group training, I bowed to you and all other instructors and couldn't hold back my tears for gratitude and joy that I could learn from such wonderful beings. Thank you very much and much love 

Magnus is a retreat facilitator and integration guide with more than a decade of experience holding transformative spaces. He has guided countless plant medicine ceremonies and leads the Dance Portal, a powerful practice where music, movement, and presence open the door to deep surrender. Through playfulness and embodied awareness, he helps participants untangle contractions, access forgotten parts of themselves, and rediscover their most authentic expression. His work blends energetic and embodied “parts work,” making the body a living book through which the subconscious can be read and liberated. For years, Magnus has been immersed in the retreat world—creating his own gatherings and supporting others in theirs. His journey has been shaped by a deep reverence for plant allies and by witnessing again and again the magic that unfolds when humans come together with open hearts. He knows both the power of these encounters and the challenge of integrating their lessons into daily life. This is why, for the last eight years, he has hosted free integration circles, offering a safe space for people to share, reflect, and support each other long after the peak experience has passed. Magnus believes integration is where the true flourishing begins—and his work offers a joyful yet grounded frame for that process. Alongside Vasi and Felicia, Magnus brings warmth, curiosity, and depth to the retreat container. His passion is to help participants not only touch profound states of awareness, but to anchor them—so that transformation becomes lasting change.

Vasi is an experienced somatic guide and body-mind practitioner with over a decade of transformational work behind her. Known as a “pattern detective,” she combines psychology, somatic awareness, and foot diagnosis (based on the Grinberg Method) to help her clients unlock vitality, release unconscious trauma, and step into their integral power. Her clients consistently describe her presence as clear, catalytic, and deeply supportive—offering not only insight but also the lived experience of embodied change. Her path began when a serious health crisis forced her to pause her activist life and embark on an inward journey. After healing chronic conditions through years of study and experimentation, she discovered the principle that underpins her work today: the body keeps the score. Under the guidance of her teacher, Barbara Droubay, Vasi experienced firsthand how the body can release deep trauma, reshape mental patterns, and teach what it means to be truly grounded—soft and strong at the same time. In her sessions, clients often stand up with surprise, describing new sensations of energy flow, expansion, and calmness they have never felt before. Vasi reminds them that embodiment is not a momentary state but a daily practice of presence and conscious choice—a practice she helps them anchor into their lives. Through BodyMind Mapping and Foot Diagnosis, she offers a unique way of reading the body’s story: how the way we walk through the world reveals how we love, fight, hold on, and let go. By bringing awareness to these maps, Vasi guides participants back into connection with the elements of life—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—and into remembrance of the wholeness that has always been theirs. When you join Vasi on retreat, you are invited to make a sacred choice: a devotional commitment to your integral Self. She will hold your back with compassion until you are ready to leap into flight.
