Retreat San Roque Spain
16-25 September 2025
Healing Retreat: With a focus on releasing the emotions from the lungs and transforming grief to compassion.
Teacher Xie is Qigong & Meditation Master with over 30 years of experience whose approach goes beyond physical movement—his teachings guide students into deep self-realization, emotional healing, and high-frequency grounding. His work is rooted in the ancient wisdom of Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and energy cultivation, focusing on the five organs and their connection to emotional balance and spiritual awakening.
Everything Is Within You
Through dedicated practice, you come to realise that the vastness of the universe exists within you.
Transforming Emotions
With a special focus on healing the emotions associated with the lungs of anxiety, grief and sadness.
Location:
Immerse yourself in a transformative Mindful Healing Qigong Retreat set near the tranquil forests of Pinar del Rey, San Roque. Under the guidance of Teacher Xie, experience a powerful blend of simple Medical Qigong, meditation, and energy healing designed to restore balance, deepen awareness, and awaken your true essence.
Set near the serene Pinar del Rey forest—known as the “Green Lung” of San Roque—this peaceful location provides an ideal setting for profound practice. Spanning 338 hectares, this nature reserve offers the perfect environment to reconnect with your true nature in an atmosphere of kindness and natural beauty.
The retreat will feature daily guided meditations and healing sessions, allowing participants to rest in being. There will also be teaching, dialogues, sharing, quiet spaces, and pauses, all devoted to deeply exploring the understanding of true nature of awakening consciousness and healing.
For those who feel called, this is a rare opportunity to practice with an exceptional master teacher in a small, dedicated, and focused group.
At the retreat, we will delve into our inner being and reconnect with our true essence. We will also prioritize increasing our grounding to strengthen our connection to nature. Our focus will be on releasing negative emotions in the lungs, promoting compassion, and supporting the body and immune system.
Past participants have described Teacher Xie’s teachings as:
“Deep and meaningful, leaving a powerful impact on me in many ways.”
“I feel so much gratitude for the opportunity to expand and deepen my experience and understanding of the essence of the practice.”
“Since the course, I still feel an inner stability—quiet, simple, and grounded in a whole new way.”
“Deep and profound.”
About
Authentic, straightforward, with insightful wit and a piercing wisdom that comes straight from the heart—these are just a few ways to describe him.
Xie Chuan goes straight to the heart. His methods are rooted in direct understanding, wisdom, and compassion—a bold and fiercely authentic way of being. He follows a path of direct insight and guides others to do the same.
His journey into the world of Qigong began out of a deep personal need. When his mother was stricken with Ménière's disease and conventional medicine offered no solutions, Xie Chuan turned to Qigong as a last hope. Committed to the practice, he took his mother to a park daily, and within 25 days, the simple methods they used completely cured her illness. This experience was transformative for Xie Chuan, altering the course of his life.
In his late teens, he was accepted to the intensive teacher training course at Dr. Pang Ming's Huaxia Qigong research centre, known internationally as "the medicine-less hospital."
In later years, he worked with the Daohearts teacher team in the Wudang mountains and was the vice-chancellor of the Xi'an Scientific Research Centre..
