The Perfect Retreat Location -- Sunrise Ranch Conference and Retreat Center, Loveland, Colorado:

Sunrise Ranch has been referred to as a "womb with a view", because of the nurturing atmosphere that permeates this peaceful valley in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Sunrise Ranch was founded over 50 years ago as a way of demonstrating practical spirituality and as international headquarters for the Emissary Program. A nonprofit organization founded in 1932 by Lloyd Meeker, the Emissaries of Divine Light compose a network of people whose primary purpose is to encourage the experience and expression of divine identity.

Spacious landscapes, intimate communion with wildlife and fifty years of organic land stewardship makes Sunrise Ranch one of the most unique conference and retreat settings in North America. A sense of safety, respect and peace permeates the very palpable atmosphere in this place. The deer in the field at dusk or the red-tailed hawk overhead seem to confirm this sense of ease. A repeated comment from conference guests and facilitators has been that, because of the sustained atmosphere Sunrise carries, they are able to "get right to work" at our first session and do not have to spend the same amount of time building a container or sense of space that is required at other venues.

About the Level 2 - Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) Integral Tai Chi Facilitator Training

View Certification Overview

Tai Chi is a moving form of Qigong that can be done as a martial art or for health. There are many long forms that can take years to learn. In order to make the health benefits of Tai Chi more readily accessible to diverse populations, shortened and simplified versions of it are being created. Health benefits include stress reduction, greater balance and increased flexibility — especially for older adults.

Integral Tai Chi ™ is not simply a Tai Chi form, but a Tai Chi teaching method that is assured to sustain student enthusiasm. In the Integral Tai Chi™ framework we work with Tai Chi Qigong, a simplified approach in which the complexity of the footwork is postponed for ease of learning. Followed by Tai Chi Easy ™, Tai Chi Chair ™ and Tai Chi Mirror ™, these carefully simplified forms of Tai Chi are designed to create the maximum positive effect. The traditional principles of Tai Chi and Qigong are the heart of the Integral Tai Chi ™ program.

Level 2 is primarily focused on Tai Chi and reviewing the material for Level 1. Review will include: practices distilled from the Vitality Medical Qigong Method (Bu Zheng Qigong) in The Healer Within; the Ten Phases of Cultivation and Mastery from the The Healing Promise of Qi; Tendon Changing; Marrow Bathing; Seven Precious Gestures; Spontaneous Qigong;introduction to Nei Dan (Inner Alchemy); and transmitting Qi (Wai Gong) and Qigong Healing.

The Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) now has graduates throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Central America, inspired and committed to bringing Qigong and Tai Chi to a broader audience. Whether you use this training as a career shift or as a personal retreat to improve your health, vitality and inner peace, this event will be a profound opportunity to immerse yourself in healing and actualize your personal mission of community service. You will renew your body, mind and spirit like the ancient Qi masters of China where Qi cultivation was born.
