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.

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.

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.

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

flora and fauna. After the hike we’ll stop in Sarchi Village, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, for lunch.

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.

- 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.
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!

The equisite beauty that is Costa Rica, 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. Visit Gene's Website: |
| "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 |
