                                         Gene's Retreat Program Overview

Gene will begin the retreat by teaching a simple yet powerful qi-gong practice (Chinese energy exercise for health) called Pangu Shengong. Pangu Shengong
allows the practitioner to completely and harmoniously absorb the essence of the sun and moon.  This leads to rebuilding the immune system and optimal
health and longevity. The group will begin each day of the retreat with this simple, yet powerful energy exercise.
Learn more about Pangu Shengong:

The nature paradise of Costa Rica is the perfect environment for the main segment of Gene's program where he will focus on the study of the 3 treasures of
humanity and the 3 treasures of heaven as espoused by Chinese Qi-Gong theory.  We will learn how jing, qi, and shen (essence, energy, and spirit) form the
basis of enlightened energy and activity in a person.  We will also learn how the 3 treasures of humanity coincide with the 3 treasures of the heaven (sun,
moon, and stars).  Gene will include in each session several different group energy exercises to energize, transform, and alchemize our energy body and
systems to produce radiant and vibrant health.

Private Healing Sessions: Gene will also be offering private healing sessions during the retreat by appointment.

appointment ahead of time. Contact Susan Duval, (contact information below) for available appointment days and times..

Day 2 Sun. Jan 8:   (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)       
After breakfast, we will board our private bus to begin exploring Costa Rica as we depart for the Arenal Volcano area. On our
way to Arenal, we will stop at the Espiritu Santo Coffee Farm for a short tour. The locals say, to learn about coffee is to learn
about the history of Costa Rica! If you are a coffee lover this morning will be a highlight for you! Costa Rican coffee is some of
the world’s best due to the rich volcanic soil and the ideal tropical climate of Costa Rica. You will learn about the history,
cultivation, and operation of a functioning coffee 'beneficio'.  You’ll have the opportunity to hand pick some coffee beans
yourself and take a ride in the farms ox-drawn cart. There will be snacks to sample and of course, lots of delicious Costa Rican
coffee. The gift shop offers chocolate covered coffee beans and other coffee delights that you can take home with you.

Upon arrival at the lovely 4 Star Arenal Springs Resort, we’ll have time to take a walk and explore the
beautiful grounds before having a delicious lunch.  After lunch Gene will teach the Pangu Shengong form to
the group and discuss the importance of absorbing the sun and moon essence for healing.  Dinner at the resort.

Day 3 Mon. Jan 9:    (Breakfast, Lunch, dinner on your own)  
No need for an alarm clock as the chorus of beautiful songbirds will wake you. After a delicious breakfast, Gene will
discuss the 3 treasures of humanity (Jing, Chi, and Shen) and teach the energy exercise “The Small Heavenly Circuit.”  
Enjoy lunch at the resort and then enjoy a free afternoon to do as you wish. Choose from a variety of optimal activities and excursions or just relax at the
resort hot pool or schedule a massage at the spa.  In the evening after dinner, there will be the opportunity for private healing sessions with Gene.

Day 4 Tues. Jan 10:  (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)  
After a hearty breakfast, the group will visit the Arenal Hanging Bridges, located in front of the Arenal Volcano.
The bridges are within the corridor followed by migratory birds between North and South America and this is one
of the most beautiful environmentally-friendly projects in Costa Rica. The easy walking trails lead you into the
middle of a beautiful forest where you can observe the birds, flowers, and lush vegetation of the primary
rainforest. The imposing yet completely safe, hanging bridges take you into the treetops, where it feels like you
have become one with the dense canopy of flora and fauna, birds, insects and other tree top inhabitants that exist
high above the forest floor.  The canopy harbors a world of its own not visible from the walking trails below.  
The scenery is spectacular with volcano views looming in the background.  Stop for lunch at a local restaurant
and then return to the resort.   Today’s afternoon workshop will continue with the teachings on 3 treasures of
humanity (Jing, Chi, and Shen) and participants will learn how to absorb the earth and sun’s essence for energy and health.
Dinner at the resort.  In the evening,  there will be a short review session and question and answer period from the previous two lectures.  Afterwards, private
healing sessions will be available for participants.

Day 5 Wed. Jan 11:  (Breakfast)
Sleep in, enjoy coffee on your patio or rise early for a volcano hike. This day is yours to do as you please!
Take optional tours, explore on your own or just enjoy a peaceful, relaxing day. Private healing sessions with
Gene will be available throughout the day and evening.  Lunch and dinner on your own



Day 6 Thursday Jan 12:  (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)  
After an early breakfast, you’ll depart for a relaxing safari float trip down the Penas Blancas River.  Known
as the "white water gem of Costa Rica's Atlantic slope", the Penas Blancas River runs right through the
Tilaran Mountain Range. While slowly paddling along, enjoy the sights and sounds of monkeys, caimans,
iguanas, crocodiles, sloths and a range of bird species. This truly peaceful expedition combines Costa Rica’s best nature and wildlife, while exploring along the
scenic river route.  Stop for lunch at a local restaurant.  After lunch, we will begin our talk on the 3 treasures of heaven (sun, moon, and stars).  We will learn
a powerful exercise to absorb the moon’s essence and then transform this energy in the Small Heavenly Circuit.  This evening we will conclude our discussion
on the 3 treasures of heaven and learn how to absorb star energies.  


Day 7 Friday Jan 13:  (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)  
This morning we check out of our lovely resort and begin the drive back to San Jose for our final night in Costa Rica. No trip to Costa Rica would be
complete without spending some time in the Cloud Forest. We will stop at Villa Blanca and take a short, easy guided hike in El Silencio Cloud Forest. As you
walk with your head in the clouds, your nature guide will unveil a secret world of rich tropical life. As the trail winds its
way throughout this rare and incredibly diverse biosphere you will see and learn about a variety of unique tropical
flora and fauna. After the hike we’ll stop in Sarchi Village, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, for lunch.
Sarchi is known as the center of Costa Rican handicrafts and its here that they make the colorful oxcarts or “carreta”.
The oxcart plays a very important part in the cultural history of Costa Rica. This evening we’ll enjoy a private farewell
group dinner at the hotel.Our final evening together will conclude with an integration of all the components we learned
together both during the formal retreat program as well as our excursion into the beautiful areas of Costa Rica.  
We will have a chance to work energetically as a group to integrate the various aspects of the change to our energy
system through a group energy session.   

Day 8 Sat. Jan 14:    (Breakfast) Depart for USA
A group transfer time will be arranged that accommodates the majority of the groups return flight times to their home cities. If you are not with the group
transfer, a private transfer will be arranged for you at a minimal cost. Time to return home after a magical healing adventure within the natural beauty of Costa

                                 Join Gene Ang, Ph.D. for 7 days of rest, rejuvenation, and renewal for your mind, body, and spirit
                                  among the healing energy of nature and wildlife in Costa Rica.  Life is challenging these days
                                  and often we don't have the time to savor the moment, simply enjoy a sunset, marvel at the colors
                                  on  a butterfly wing, or simply sit in the midst of a spectacular landscape and feel humbled by
                                  the magnificence of nature. We all need a quiet place of beauty, peacefulness and serenity to just
                                  sit and think or simply breathe, to pray, write or meditate…a place quiet enough for us to hear
                                  that still small voice within that speaks from the depth of our soul. The natural paradise that
                                  is Costa Rica will offer you that place.

Costa Rica is truly an outdoor adventurer's paradise. There are rainforests and cloud forests to wander in and learn about, world-class
whitewater rafting and canoeing, fiery volcanoes and hot springs to soak in, horseback riding, zip lines, canopy walks, frog ponds, Sky
Trams and thrilling encounters with exotic wildlife and colorful tropical birds at every turn! Oh, and lets not forget shopping for local
treasures which is a must and of course the fabulous food!

Nowhere else on earth is biological abundance and diversity so evident than in the Costa Rican rain forest. Twelve distinct ecological
zones of incredible beauty cover an area the size of New Hampshire. Tropical rain forests contain more than half of all living things
known to man. The rain forest is a place of peace and renewal; mysterious, life-affirming, and of majestic proportions. Costa Rica alone
has more plant species than the whole of Europe, and a staggering world of exotic wildlife and flora and fauna that runs into the millions
of species. Join Gene for the experience of a lifetime in Costa Rica.  As they say in Costa Rica…Pura Vida! / Pure Life!

                   WARNING:
The fun and laid-back lifestyle that is Pura Vida is extremely addictive.
Falling in love with Costa Rica is a severe side effect!

Will heal your Soul
                                        Gene Ang, Ph.D. has a healing practice based in Thousand Oaks, California and sees clients for                    
                                 Reconnective Healing, Pranic Healing, Vortex Healing, Shamanic Counseling and the Reconnection.
                        In addition, Gene travels around the United States facilitating healing sessions and workshops that focus                          
                         on the integration of science and spirituality.

                        Gene received his BA from Stanford University in Human Biology and Philosophy / Religious Studies.                               
                         Gene continued his education at Yale University where he was formally trained as a Neurobiologist and                             
                         earned his doctorate in basic mechanisms of how the brain develops followed by a post-doctoral fellowship                         
                         on how ultrasound can affect the developing cerebral cortex.  After completing his fellowship, Gene                                  
                         decided to step into the role of a facilitator in order to more directly interact with helping people in a                                
                         healing capacity.

Gene's work centers around the use of energy to help align the subtle energy body, its channels, meridians, and energy centers to help
restore balance and harmony so that healing can occur whether it be physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual. Gene does not see
himself as the healer but simply as part of the interconnectedness that occurs when facilitator, client, and Source/Love/God interact to
bring healing forth.  He sees his teaching engagements and seminars as an extension of this interaction that occurs on multiple
dimensions to bring wholeness and understanding to all involved.

"Comments from past retreat participants"

I highly recommend Gene Ang's retreats. He is a wonderful facilitator. He brings much knowledge and information and is able to relay that
information to all levels of understanding. He is incredibly bright, divinely guided, humble and has a great sense of humor. The retreats Gene
gives are valuable and very self empowering. I highly recommend anything Gene is involved with.    D.B., Sarasota, FL

“The retreat in Sedona was an incredible journey. The energy and uplifting that occurred here for me was more than I ever could have hoped to
experience.  I arrived feeling open, and completed the retreat with a “knowing” sense as if to say I “got it”.  This was a very powerful and life
changing trip for me and the bonds made here will never be forgotten.  I will always hold these days with me as I continue my journey into a new
life.  Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Gene and thank you Susan, for all your hard work!”  Karen Fogarty, Feasterville PA
