Come Home to Your Body — The Beginning Place for Healing and Awakening

There are moments when something in you knows it’s time.

To pause. To return. To reset your foundation from within.

The 16-Day Embodied Awakening Accelerator Retreat is a rare opportunity to step away from the noise and into real transformation — guided by Master Mingtong Gu on the sacred lands of the SouthWest Sanctuary near Santa Fe, New Mexico.

This retreat is a living transmission.

A full immersion in Wisdom Healing Qigong — where sound, movement, intention, and the power of the chi field activate healing, purpose, and presence at the deepest level.

“Your body holds the medicine. Your presence is the key.”

Whether you’re navigating physical symptoms, emotional stress, spiritual longing — or a quiet call to live the next chapter of your own embodied truth — this retreat invites you into a direct, embodied reset.

Why 16 Days?

Sixteen days of uninterrupted presence allows you to shed surface tension and settle into a gentler, deeper rhythm and flow.

This retreat offers:

  • The Timeto recognize, release, and re-pattern your energy flow

  • The Field a coherent chi field, held and cultivated in daily practice

  • The Landsacred high-desert Nature that amplifies your body’s wisdom

  • The Teaching direct energetic transmission from Master Mingtong Gu

  • The Practicedaily Wisdom Healing Qigong, meditation, sound healing, movement, and rest

  • The Communitya shared field of sincerity, coherence, and mutual uplift

When these elements come together, something new begins to take hold.

Patterns unwind.

Awareness stabilizes.

Your energy returns to its natural intelligence.

Receiving a Living Lineage

This retreat draws on the same principles that energized one of the largest medicineless Qigong healing centers in the world — founded by Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming in China.

Master Mingtong Gu trained within that system. His body healed. His heart opened. His practice deepened. Today, he carries that same energetic transmission forward.

Here in this Retreat, you receive that lineage directly through daily practice, embodied teaching, and the awakened field that forms when we gather in sincerity and presence.

Is This for You?

This retreat offers a clear, grounded return to your natural intelligence if you’re:

  • Seeking real energetic shift that lives in your body

  • Ready to explore full presence as a lived experience, not a concept

  • Craving time in a nurturing container where you can reflect, reset, and re-pattern

  • Sincere about cultivating clarity, coherence, and vitality

  • Ready to deepen your relationship with your body as your greatest ally

You don’t need any prior experience with Qigong. You simply need a sincere willingness to show up and engage.

Daily Rhythm: Grounded, Spacious, Alive

The Retreat has a unique rhythm.  Every day is different, and all support deep rest and internal alignment through deepening practice.  Here’s a sample:

🌞 Morning

🌀 Midday

Chi Naps, journaling, silent integration

🌿 Afternoon

Each part of each day is designed to open your energy flow, support embodied awareness, and reconnect you with your divine wholeness.

A Rare Opportunity to Learn Directly from Master Mingtong Gu

For sixteen days, Master Mingtong will guide the retreat in full — offering teaching, energetic transmission, and daily Qigong practice.

As one of the world’s foremost teachers of Wisdom Healing Qigong, his presence offers a depth of transmission that activates change at the cellular and energetic level.

This kind of direct, daily engagement is rare. It is a gift to step into the field with a teacher who lives what he shares — and holds space for others to awaken through their own bodies.

The Land Holds You

The SouthWest Sanctuary for Wisdom & Healing, located just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a place of stillness, strength, and resonance.

You’ll be immersed in 150 acres of high desert beauty: ancient cottonwoods, open skies, a living mandala of trees, flowers, plantings, and paths, plus hiking trails, and the sacred Lotus Kiva — the heart-space of our gathering.

Together, it is a natural amplification chamber for healing. Many have said the land itself is alive with portals and energies. Your body will feel that too.

What Past Participants Say

This retreat was a turning point in my life. I came for physical renewal — and I received that — and I also found my true voice and a calling I had been afraid to name.

Being in the energy field with Master Mingtong for 30 days shifted something I thought was unchangeable. I now live from my center.

I’ve done retreats all over the world. This one is different. It’s about coming home — to your body, your energy, your truth.
