About the Location
Seoul’s Han River is the city’s lifeline, winding through skyscrapers and parks with a chill, reflective energy. Our retreat’s based at a modern retreat center near Yeouido Park, right by the river, with cozy rooms and big windows overlooking the water. You’ll spend time in riverside gardens and open spaces perfect for tai chi and meditations. The Han’s banks are alive with joggers and cyclists by day, but at night, they turn quiet, with stars peeking through Seoul’s glow. You’re a short subway ride from Seoul’s buzzing markets and temples, but the river feels like a serene escape in the city’s heart.
All About the Retreat
The Han River Cosmic Retreat blends Seoul’s urban buzz with deep spiritual work, tying lunar astrology to energy practices in a way that feels fresh and grounding. It’s perfect for city lovers who want cosmic connection without leaving civilization. Here’s the deal:
What You’ll Do
Korean astrologers lead lunar chart readings, showing how the moon’s phases (new, waxing, full, waning) shape your path; you’ll get a personal 1:1 session plus daily group workshops on the Korean lunar calendar. Tai chi sessions, guided by a master, happen by the river at dawn, with flowing moves to balance your chi—feels like dancing with the breeze. Energy rituals, led by a healer, use smudging, sound bowls, and breathwork to clear your aura, often in a riverside pavilion. Nightly meditations under the stars (or city lights if it’s cloudy) tie your chart to the cosmos, with guided visualizations that hit deep. You’ll also join a group discussion each day to share insights. Meals are vegan, featuring Korean classics like bibimbap, lotus soups, and fresh banchan, served at the retreat center’s airy dining room.
