RETREAT im Mai 2027

QI GONG & TAO | Breath

Time to catch your breath, move and clear your mind
5 Tage Retreat in den Tiroler Alpen | Leutasch, 5.–9. Mai 2027

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.

My name is Maria Felsner, It is a matter close to my heart to accompany people on their path to holistic health, inner stability and conscious body awareness.

For over 30 years I have dedicated myself to working with movement, breath and body awareness - and this task still fills me with great gratitude and inner conviction.

My method combines Pilates, functional movement, breathwork, meditation and mindful bodywork. It is shaped by my background in prevention and health work, as well as my ongoing exploration of breathing, the nervous system and integrative forms of movement.

For me, the focus is always on the person as a unity of body and mind - with the aim of supporting and strengthening the natural powers of self-regulation. I am convinced that every person has the potential to stabilize and renew themselves and find their way back to a lively balance.

What will be left when you get back home?

Participants share their experiences of the RETREAT—in their own words, reproduced verbatim.

„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 a spontaneous, intuitive choice that 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 nice, 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 food—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
