Four Stages of the Retreat

The recorded material is organized into four main modules, moving from foundational practices into individual cultivation, energy and touch work, and partner-oriented practices. (school.mantakchia.com)

Module 1 — Tao & Tantra Foundations

The opening module introduces foundational practices from both traditions. It includes the Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds, and Tantric Heart Breath, along with introductory breath and energy work.

This section establishes several of the practices that are developed further throughout the retreat. (school.mantakchia.com)

Module 2 — Solo Cultivation

The second module focuses on individual practice.

Women’s material includes Jade Egg work, breast and ovarian massage, and pelvic-floor exercises. Men’s material includes ejaculation-control breathwork and practices relating to sexual-energy cultivation.

The module allows the individual practices to be studied separately from the partner-oriented work introduced later in the retreat. (school.mantakchia.com)

Module 3 — Energy Pathways & Healing Touch

The third module introduces additional Taoist energy practices and touch-based work.

It includes the Microcosmic Orbit, Iron Shirt grounding, a Karsai Nei Tsang genital-therapy demonstration, Sacred Spot material, and healing-touch practices. (school.mantakchia.com)

Module 4 — Dual Cultivation & Sex Magic

The final module shifts toward partner practice and dual cultivation.

Topics include Valley Orgasm, Tantric-Taoist partner practices, the retreat’s collection of 20 Tantra-Tao practices, and material presented as Sex Magic: Manifesting with Creative Life Force. (school.mantakchia.com)

Taoist and Tantric Traditions in One Program

The course brings together material from two distinct traditions.

Mantak Chia’s contribution centers on the Universal Healing Tao system, including Taoist sexual energy, Inner Alchemy, Qigong, breathwork, and cultivation practices. Charles Muir’s material focuses on Tantra, including breathing, chanting, touch, intimacy, and partner-oriented practices.

The result is a retreat that covers both solo cultivation and shared practices rather than concentrating exclusively on one aspect of Taoist or Tantric study. (school.mantakchia.com)

For Singles and Couples

The program is presented for singles and couples of any orientation or age.

Individual students can work through the solo practices and foundational material, while couples can explore the partner-oriented sections covering dual cultivation, Tantric-Taoist exercises, and intimacy.

It is also positioned for both newcomers interested in Taoist or Tantric sexuality and experienced practitioners interested in bringing the two lineages together. (school.mantakchia.com)
