Whale Song Qi Gong Retreat
16-17 November | On the Klein River Lagoon near Hermanus
An Annual Weekend Intensive with James Prain
This isn’t your typical luxury retreat—it’s an immersive, hands-on weekend for anyone ready to explore the full depths of Qi Gong. Under the guidance of James Prain, a master teacher with over 20 years of dedicated practice in the internal martial arts, you’ll experience Qi Gong’s benefits firsthand—whether you’re entirely new or looking to refine and deepen your approach.
In this two day intensive, you’ll practice the fundamental movement principles, meditations, and twelve essential forms that are at the heart of Whale Song Qi Gong. You’ll learn how to use Qi Gong to restore energetic vitality, improve your functional mobility, and cultivate deep embodied intelligence, regardless of age, physical fitness or experience level.
James’ extensive training with grandmasters in China, as well as authentic lineage holders in Bali, the US and locally, has inspired his potent, synergistic style - the haunting echo of whale song being passed across oceans, seasons and generations. His sincere approach is grounded in local roots, refined through studies in sports science, psychology, and education, and brought to life with an unpretentious, soulful touch.
A progressive and experienced teacher trainer in several modalities, James’ guidance is designed to give you a meaningful, practical connection to this ancient art; from activating primal kinetic chains to the poetic philosophy of Qi Gong, James will guide you through energy work, acupressure points, and the lyrical flow of breathing techniques - this retreat promises a profound journey into the pulsating heart of Qi Gong.
Limited spaces are available for those committed to exploring Qi Gong in a focused, natural environment that supports transformational presence, soulful healing and experiential learning.
