Qi Gong – Mindfulness in Body with Qi Gong teacher, Sarah Gion

Escape to our serene 5-acre spa retreat in West Sonoma County for a day of transformative self-care.  Your journey begins with a morning of relaxation, including a group cedar enzyme footbath, your choice of a 70-minute massage or a 65-minute custom facial, peaceful walking meditation through our bamboo forest, and guided meditation in our renowned Japanese garden.  A nourishing lunch, crafted by a local chef with fresh, wholesome ingredients will be offered in a magical creekside setting beneath the shade of oak and bay trees.

In the afternoon, we’ll gather in our Ceremonial Circle for a healing Qigong session led by one of our skilled massage therapists and long-time Qi Gong practitioner, Sarah Gion. This is an ancient practice of working with the body’s energy through simple movements; this class will introduce you to gentle self-massage techniques and self-awareness exercises that are both grounding and revitalizing. You’ll leave deeply refreshed with simple, powerful tools to enhance your well-being and integrate into your daily life.  There will be time for journaling and self-reflection as well.

This day-long retreat is an amazing opportunity to enjoy the best of what Osmosis has to offer;  therapeutic healing services, a chance to unplug and unwind on our forested grounds, and an opportunity to escape for a day of self-care.  This is a day to honor your body, calm your mind, and connect with nature and your vital energy source.
