THE PROGRAM:

The Formless Taoism Immortal Mind® program is a philosophical retreat program that is designed for individuals interested in Taoism, energy medicine, and spiritual work. Its objective is to help participants understand any deep inner blockages that could be hindering their energy practice or personal growth and path in life. The program’s basis is to counsel and coach people to discover their own inner divinity.

This program is for individuals who are committed to exploring their own self-talk and mindscape to understand themselves emotionally/spiritually and make sense of the world around them. It is a place to be amongst thinkers, sharing in a mastermind approach, and based on Taoist principles.

The class is held on the second Sunday of every month, from 9 am to 4 pm ET. If you cannot travel monthly, you can participate in the program via live Zoom. The class is not recorded as it is meant to be participatory and to honor the sacred space for everyone sharing.

The program will include lectures on Taoist, Buddhist, and Native American concepts of living without judgment, the art of happiness, dealing with death (transition), and loss of loved ones. Participants will also learn new meditations to open up the chakras, remove Luo channels blockages, and cleanse the Po, among other techniques. The program will also cover how memory works (the Hun) and how to recover from trauma.

All things relative to the Mind are open for discussion, and the objective is to walk away with new clarity of the energies of Heaven/Earth and how to be a better person suspended between them. The retreat weekend is structured with lectures, meditation practices, philosophical questions, journaling assignments, qigong practice, and self-reflection, among other activities.

The program is held at the Inner Strength retreat center on 88 acres of sacred lands. The center has a small retreat house with space for four people, a full kitchen, and shared bath. Participants are encouraged to treat this as a retreat and truly get away from the stressors of life and step into nature during this time.

Immortal Mind® Programs

With Dr. Ted Cibik

“These programs are perfect for those who want to delve deeper into Asian philosophy, modern science of the mind and brain, pathways to enlightenment and staying clear and grounded in a very tumultuous world. As the counselor of many therapists, physiologists and psychiatrists for over 25 years, I can attest that this is not therapy per se, but a higher calling of mind and spirit.

Being pronounced dead in hospitals twice in my life, gives one a different perspective of life, what it means to be alive and spiritual connections that are not found in standard teachings of Buddhism, Christianity, Kabbalah or Native American. It is different, and has to be experienced as my students will attest.”
