„You no longer have to perform - you have to land again: in your breath, in your body, in the now.“
Pure retreat and regeneration
Our retreats are time-outs with depth - and structure at the same time. Whether in the powerful mountains around Leutasch, in the vast light of Tuscany or at the breathing retreat on the Fernpass: each week is designed to get you out of „always on“ mode and back to yourself. Not through big promises, but through practice, rhythm and real experience - with space for silence, nature and what wants to show itself.
You can expect a clear mix of Qi Gong, breathing work, movement, regeneration and impulses from TCM and modern body and stress physiology that are suitable for everyday use. We explain interrelationships in a science-friendly and understandable way - and then bring them immediately into the body: tangible, measurable, safe. The result is learning that doesn't get stuck in your head, but „arrives“ in your nervous system.
No matter which retreat you choose: it's not about optimization, but about regulation. Slow down, refuel, realign - and go home with an inner compass that continues to work in everyday life.

RETREAT — QI GONG & TAO | Breath
A 5-day retreat in the Tyrolean Alps: Qi Gong, TAO Breath, and meditation in Leutasch. Rediscover your rhythm.
Why should you take part in a RETREAT?
5 good reasons to be there...
-
You get out of the constant stress - into regulation. Our days are structured in such a way that your nervous system returns to a calmer basic tone (breathing, rhythm, nature, breaks instead of a „program marathon“).
-
You learn things that really stick in everyday life. No retreat high that fizzles out after 48 hours - you get simple routines and clear principles that you can continue at home.
-
Body instead of head: you immediately feel what works. Qi gong, breathing work and movement are not just „knowledge“, but experience - you notice directly what opens, calms or strengthens you.
-
Orientation instead of confusion: TCM explained in an understandable + modern way. We combine traditional models (e.g. elements, Yin & Yang) with modern stress and body physiology - science-friendly, without making it complicated.
-
A place that supports you: setting, nature and group. Mountains, Tuscany or the Fernpass - plus a group that goes with you, without pressure. This makes it easier to stick with it, go deeper and really regenerate.

„You can spend two or three weeks on a nice vacation in a beautiful place—but once you're back home, you quickly fall back into your old routine.".
“Or you can spend a week at a qigong retreat with Maria and Wolfgang in beautiful Tuscany—of course, everyday life awaits you when you get back home, but everything feels different, and the positive effects last a long time."
I just can't quite put it into words, but in my thoughts I'm still in Tuscany very often, thinking of you all and our wonderful group.
Best regards—also from Christian—to Maria and you,
Ralph
After my husband passed away, Wolfgang told me about this retreat. I had already attended a retreat in Leutasch, which I found to be very pleasant and soothing. So this time, I signed up on the spur of the moment—though not without some reservations, mainly because of the trip and the transfer.
But as soon as I arrived, all those thoughts quickly faded away. I was picked up by a very nice driver and welcomed warmly and lovingly at the retreat. From the very first moment, I felt like I was in good hands.
Maria and Wolfgang have a very special, empathetic way of meeting each person where they are. They tailor their approach to each participant individually, without forcing anything. This atmosphere of respect extends to the entire group and fosters a wonderful sense of trust and connection.
The program was varied and rejuvenating. The breathing sessions, qigong, and Pilates did me a world of good and were effective for me in different ways. The program also included a day of silence. Personally, though, I could have done without that—to me, that part felt a bit contrived and just wasn’t the right fit.
That makes the overall feeling I’m left with all the more wonderful: I’ve returned to my daily life feeling content, balanced, and with a newfound sense of inner peace.
A heartfelt thank you to Maria and Wolfgang for your loving support, your empathy, and this special time. ❤️
Tuscany Retreat 2026 ☀️
It all started when Wolfgang mentioned the retreats during one of the Qi Gong Live evenings in May. My decision to sign up was spontaneous and intuitive, and it led to a special, wonderful week for me. Maria and Wolfgang not only put together a varied program for our group—I felt sensitively guided, and I was gifted with profound experiences. I was particularly blown away by the impact of the breathing sessions. The wonderfully peaceful morning sessions under the olive trees, the intense evening sessions, and the convivial evenings under the arbor—enjoying Chef Mirco’s delicious food as the sun set, singing around the fire pit—will remain unforgettable… Even now—weeks later—I still feel very connected and can sense how these experiences continue to resonate within me… I’m able to apply many of the exercises wonderfully in my daily life and have even integrated some of them effortlessly.
A big, heartfelt THANK YOU! 🩷
I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in two retreats (Fernpass and Tuscany 2026) with Wolfgang and Maria. Experiencing them in person—with their unique personalities, energy, experience, and knowledge in the areas of body, energy, and nervous system work—is incredibly diverse and enriching.
At both retreats, the program was flexibly adapted to the group’s needs and wishes at all times, so that everyone felt included. Individual concerns were addressed with great care and compassion.
Although I was the youngest participant at 27, I felt completely at ease from the very first moment. This shows just how open, warm, and inclusive the atmosphere, group dynamics, and leadership were. In addition to exercise sessions, meditation, quiet time, rest, and individual recovery time, as well as unique breathing sessions, deep conversations, and emotional moments, there was also plenty of fun and variety—especially during the excellent shared meals in Tuscany, group excursions, and evenings with musical entertainment.
Both retreats touched me deeply and left a lasting impression on me. The experiences are still resonating with me, and I’m carrying an incredible amount of strength, inspiration, and new ideas into my everyday life. Thank you so much for that!
I found out about Wolfgang's YouTube channel through my cousin
I then checked out his website and learned about the retreats.
I spontaneously reserved and confirmed the retreat in Leutasch in early June.
I just had to get away from my endless stream of thoughts and stress.
It was a wonderful break with great exercises; Wolfgang's calm, pleasant demeanor alone made a big difference.
I find it really hard to relax and let go.
What can I say? I never would have believed that I could do it, too.
Everything was just perfect!
The beautiful surroundings, the tranquility, the hosts at Sissi's Chalets, our wonderful little group, and, of course, our retreat leader Wolfgang!
It would be great if we could get together again in this group for another retreat!
It was a wonderful time spent with kind, like-minded, amazing people—filled with laughter and tears….
What else can I say: I was in the right place at the right time!!
I highly recommend that everyone treat themselves to a retreat like this!!
Thanks, Wolfgang!
I stumbled upon Wolfgang’s Qi Gong videos on YouTube by chance, and his pleasant and calm demeanor immediately captivated me.
This was fully confirmed during the retreat in Leutasch. Wolfgang not only impresses with his decades of experience in applying various Far Eastern techniques, but also skillfully incorporates Western approaches. He has a great eye for the big picture and adapts it perfectly and individually to each participant.
The Qigong sessions were already (as expected) amazing, but TAO Breath literally blew me away. I went in with no expectations and came out with a completely clear mind and a sense of detachment. It’s an experience everyone should treat themselves to at least once. The location at Sissi’s Green Chalets was perfectly chosen. A beautiful space for the sessions, great accommodations, and the most delicious meals—plus incredibly friendly hosts.
All in all, it was a perfect weekend that I'll be drawing on for a long time to come—and from which I was able to take away a lot to incorporate into my daily routines.
Thanks, Wolfgang
Dear Alexander,
Thank you so much for your kind words—they mean a lot to me. I'm glad you were able to take something away from this—I hope to see you again. 🙏
Sincerely,
Wolfgang
