Upcoming 2025 retreats
A Silent Qigong and Tea Retreat - 2nd Program Added: October 11-15
with Cat Reynolds + Stephanie Nosco at Hollyhock Retreat Center, Cortes Island, Canada
Experience the medicine of Nature, Qigong and Tea on a transformative journey home to your self. Join us for a silent retreat focused on the practice of Qigong and the mindful art of Tea Ceremony. Our retreat will be hosted by the world renowned Hollyhock Retreat Centre, located on the picturesque Cortes Island in British Columbia, Canada.
The silence and time away from social stimulation and urban noise will help you return from the commotion of daily life, into a home of deeper, listening presence. Your time at the Hollyhock will combine the ancient healing arts of Qigong, Yin Yoga practices, Meditation and Tea Ceremony, to enhance your connection to yourself and to Nature. The practices and teachings that will be offered are intended to not only inform your time on retreat, but also impact your life post-retreat.
With a maximum of 18 guests, this retreat is also intended to offer an intimate boutique experience between the land, the guides, and the guests. Accommodation, 3 meals per day, one Tea Ceremony a day, use of the sauna and hot tub and access to both the beach and hiking trails are all included in the cost of this retreat. While social silence will be held throughout the retreat, intentional speech, Qigong healing sounds, chanting, music and Alchemy Crystal bowls will be incorporated to encourage the movement of energy through voice and vibration.

Bring Tea Ceremony to Your retreat offerings
Retreats offer space away from the hustle, bustle, noise and chaos of daily living. They are a way to tune in - to the rhythms of our bodie, the rhythms of nature, and the deeper thrum of the cosmos that connects all life everywhere. I aim to hold space on retreat in the same way I do at home, and regularly co-host retreats with others. Tea Ceremony is a beautiful complementary offering to movement practices like Qi Gong and Yoga, as well as meditation, silence, and community focused gatherings.
I still have space available in my 2025 schedule to co-host or serve Tea at retreats that align with this work. Click below to fill out a quick survey and we will be in touch!
