Retreat Programming

Daily Group Practice

Throughout each day, we will gather at the Harmony Healing Centre yoga studio for 3 facilitated group sessions focused on meditation and movement. 

  • Before Breakfast: Zazen (Zen meditation)
  • Middle Morning: Yoga, Qigong, or Taichi
  • Afternoon: Yoga, Qigong, or Taichi

All sessions are led by experienced instructors with deep connections to the Harmony Healing Centre. Our yoga classes will center on gentler and regenerative styles, such as yin yoga and slow flow. While offering meaningful physical activation, our retreat yoga practice is also designed to relax your body, quiet the mind and balance your energy.

Wisdom Talks

We have developed a series of conversations that include teachings, explorations, and open dialogue. Together we will discuss 3 topics centered around ancient wisdom:

  • “Why Buddhism in Modern Times?” An introduction to embracing buddhist philosophy and practice in order to reduce personal dissatisfaction and gain more happiness and stability in this life. 
  • “The 3 Taoist Keys for Longevity” An introduction to daoism philosophy, daoist alchemy, and the 3 treasures that we have to take care of for a long and healthy life. 
  • “5 elements and Traditional Chinese Medicine”  An exploration of the 5 elements theory, how the dynamic works between our emotions and internal organs, and how we can apply this universal wisdom for personal healing and health.
Daily Cold Plunge & Sauna

Experience the exhilaration of hot/cold therapy with daily self-guided visits to the Healing Centre dry sauna and cold plunge pools. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Consultation and Acupuncture Session

Each participant will be guided through a complete traditional diagnosis with an experienced TCM practitioner. This includes observing key areas of the body, and having an open conversation and question/answer session. You'll receive and understand important information about the state of your body and mind. 

One acupuncture session is included, completely customized to your needs based on the results of your individual diagnosis. Additional sessions can be scheduled. 

Sound Healing Session

This special offering is a group session with a professional practitioner of sound healing. Different vibrations and harmonies are used to restore our natural resonance, bring us back to harmonic balance and support our life experience.

Massage Therapy Session

Drop into a truly relaxed state with a Swedish or deep tissue massage offered by our experienced and nurturing Healing Centre therapists.  Additional massage therapies and skin treatments can be scheduled from our full treatment menu.

Art Class at CAMPO Estudio
