QI GONG & TAO | Breath

Time to catch your breath, move and clear your mind
4-day retreat in the Tyrolean Alps | Leutasch, March 26-29, 2026

Finding an oasis of calm in a noisy world

We are bombarded with information, to-do's and stimuli every day. Between functioning and reacting, we often lose sight of the most important thing: ourselves.

This retreat is an invitation to pause for a moment.A space for silence, nature and conscious reconnection with what really matters: Your inner home.

Qi Gong - movement as meditation

Qi Gong is a millennia-old practice from the Traditional Chinese Medicine, which harmonizes body, breath and consciousness.

„Qi“ stands for Life energy, Gong„ means constant practicing - Together they describe the way to consciously direct and nurture this energy.

Through gentle, flowing movements, combined with calm breathing, the Harmonizes the body's energy system. Tensions are released, perception is refined and inner peace is created.

Qi Gong is not training in the classical sense - it is a Meditation in motion, which gives strength and serenity in equal measure.

Regular practice strengthens the organs, promotes the flow of energy in the meridians and balances the nervous system.
Qi Gong thus becomes a way of Self-regulation, healing and awareness - a return to the natural rhythm of life.

 

TAO | Breath - The art of conscious breathing

TAO | Breath is a breathing practice developed by us that combines the knowledge from the Traditional Chinese Medicine with traditional breathing techniques.

The term TAO stands for the natural flow of life - for the harmonious interplay of Yin and Yang, of activity and rest, of giving and receiving.

This practice alternates between dynamic breathing sequences with silent phases and conscious Breathing pauses off. Through this rhythmic change, the body experiences a deep regulation - the mind becomes clear, the nervous system calms down, and the life energy (Qi) begins to flow freely again.

Targeted Acupressure points support this process by releasing stagnant or blocked energy. This creates space for inner expression, emotional clarification and a tangible reconnection with yourself.

TAO | Breath is more than a breathing technique - it is an invitation to get in touch with your own rhythm, to let go of what is holding you back and to rediscover the balance of body, mind and soul.

What will you take away from the retreat?

  • More clarity of mind - because the breath reconnects you with yourself

  • Deep connection - with your body, your breath, your inner truth.

  • A feeling of grounding and centering - as only nature and conscious presence can give.

  • Powerful tools - simple rituals, breathing techniques, physical exercises and journaling ideas that will stay with you after the retreat.

  • The courage to slow down - and the experience that you don't have to run to get there.

  • Silence and breaks as a resource - not as emptiness, but as space for the essentials.

My name is Wolfgang Stemer, and it is a pleasure for me to help people on their journey. holistic health, inner balance and awareness to accompany them.

For over 25 years I have been able to work in this field for many years - and this work still fills me with deep gratitude and enthusiasm.

My method combines knowledge and experience from the Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, Sound work, Meditation, Mindfulness, Qi Gong and yoga.

The aim of all these paths is to understand the human being as a unity of body, mind and soul - and to promote the natural flow of Life energy (Qi) to strengthen.

For me, every encounter, every practice is an invitation to open up the space in which Healing, peace and awareness can arise.

I am fascinated by how movement, breathing and inner awareness open up deep access to one's own life force. And I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to regulate and renew themselves and find their way back to their original strength.

    Hello Wolfgang,
    Thank you so much for the great newsletter... Unfortunately, I am not yet in a position financially to take part in such a wonderful course, but I would be very interested in a new DVD. I already have your DVD "Back and Harmony" and am practicing very diligently :-))))... Best wishes from Renate in Lower Bavaria, and I wish you a wonderful Advent season too.

      Dear Renate, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, there are no more DVDs available because this market no longer exists. However, please feel free to take a look at our online program, and I am sure you will find something suitable for you. Best regards, Wolfgang
