Our New Mexico Retreat Center

“This will be a unique environment for connecting to inner wisdom and healing. There is nothing like it in North America; people will come from all over the world to Discover Your Wisdom of Mind, Body and Heart.” – Master Mingtong Gu, Founder

The Retreat Center and Vision

Master Mingtong’s Retreat Center has been renamed as The SouthWest Sanctuary for Wisdom & Healing! Formerly The  Vista Clara Ranch Spa Resort and The Chi Center  in New Mexico, this incredible property is a beautiful  150-acre resort is located 20 minutes south of Santa Fe in Galisteo, NM. With breathtaking views of New Mexico’s landscape, the dazzling sunsets over the western mountains, and vast darkness of the enormous night sky, healing emerges as mind and spirit connect. Workshops are held in the beautiful circular building which replicates traditional ceremonial kivas, set into the earth. The main house features six fireplaces and the grounds include two labyrinths, outdoor fireplaces, fountains, a pond with a waterfall and paths for reflection and hiking. This is a place where heaven and earth truly meet within you and around you.

Just as Grandmaster Pang Ming started with ten students in the early 1970s and inspired millions of practitioners within two decades, Master Mingtong started with small classes and has expanded into a global program with thousands of online participants and sold-out retreats around the world. Our vision to create a center dedicated to integrative healing through Qigong and other modalities is now coming alive in our own retreat center in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
