What to Expect

Arrive early to settle into the serene Kripalu campus, where the Berkshire mountains and quiet grounds immediately begin to soothe your nervous system. The day unfolds with a sequence of Qigong movements, guided meditations, and reflective practices led by Daisy Lee, each session designed to move stagnant energy, open the heart, and reconnect you with life force and purpose. You'll experience the gentle flow of traditional Chinese wellness practices adapted for modern bodies and minds—expect soft, circular movements, breathwork that quiets the mind, and moments of stillness that allow buried emotions to surface and release.

Throughout the healing retreat, you'll alternate between gentle movement and quiet introspection, creating a natural rhythm that honors both the body's need for expression and the soul's need for rest.
