About Shirsha
Join us at Sangsurya Retreat Centre for an enriching Qigong & Meditation Retreat led by expert teacher Shirsha Marie, a somatic psychotherapist with over 40 years of teaching experience in Tai Chi, Qigong, and internal martial arts. She seamlessly blends traditional Eastern energy cultivation practices and mindfulness meditation with Western somatic psychotherapy, fostering holistic development of body, mind, and spirit.
In this retreat, you’ll delve into the ancient art of Qigong, a self-healing exercise system rooted in Taoist nature-based philosophy, Chinese medicine, and Buddhist meditation. Shirsha will introduce Tai Chi principles, guiding you through flowing movements that enhance internal strength, postural alignment, relaxation, and mindful awareness. The schedule will also include silent sitting, walking, standing and lying down meditations, allowing time to deeply rest and restore.
Since founding the Heart Mind Centre in Byron Bay in 1986, Shirsha has dedicated herself to teaching and nurturing students. Her compassionate and generous approach has cultivated a devoted community of practitioners who benefit from her profound expertise.
Set in the serene environment of Sangsurya, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to rejuvenate amidst nature’s abundant beauty. Engage in restorative practices designed to build resilience, manage stress, and reconnect with your innate capacity for self-healing and inner peace.
We warmly invite you to join us for this transformative experience. See dates below.
