Guangzhou | 5 Days TCM Immersive Retreat
Dates: Dec 22 - 26, 2026 | Guests per trip: 6 - 12
Highlights + Benefits
Learn From Nationally Recognized TCM Experts
+ Co-created with Zheng An, one of China's most respected modern TCM organizations, this retreat is led by a licensed TCM doctor with over a decade of clinical experience, an extensive teaching background, and features on national health programs. His approach bridges classical theory with modern rehabilitation insights. After the retreat, you will receive 30 days of post-retreat support — direct access to your physician for TCM and self-care questions as you integrate what you have learned into daily life.
Hands-On, Results-Oriented Workshops
+ Over three immersive mornings, you will explore the living foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine through guided study and practice. Learn the art of Meridian Mapping, awakening energy flow through mindful touch and self-massage. Experience the warming therapy of Moxibustion and the subtle balance of Auricular Acupressure (ear seeding), connecting heat and breath to inner harmony. These are not demonstrations — you leave knowing how to use these practices on yourself.
A Living Culture of Healing
+ Experience Guangzhou through its living healing culture. Wander the fragrant aisles of Qingping Herbal Market, one of China's oldest hubs for medicinal herb trading. Have a traditional tea ceremony on the shores of Liwan Lake, the cultural heart of old Canton. Spend an afternoon with a recognized intangible cultural heritage master of Xiangyunsha , the rare Guangdong craft of dyeing silk using iron-rich river mud and vegetable tannins.
Rest & Restored
+ This retreat is designed to be as restorative as it is enriching. Every meal is curated with intention: seasonal, local, and rooted in Cantonese food therapy — the belief that what you eat should match the climate, the moment, and your body's needs. Between sessions, you will also be treated to TCM-infused massages and a therapeutic head spa, where techniques drawn from meridian therapy and acupressure work to release tension, quiet the nervous system, and bring the body back to rest. This is not a wellness checklist. It is permission to soften.
Daily Program
We will spend 4 nights at Changxi Home, a modern boutique hotel that trades grand chandeliers for warm, thoughtful design. Tucked into Dongshankou, one of old Guangzhou's most storied quarters, it places you among the 1920s red-brick villas of returning overseas merchants, now home to leafy lanes, third-wave coffee shops, and small galleries — with Dongshankou metro just downstairs for the rest of the city.
Come early and you'll find the neighborhood at its best: unhurried mornings before the crowds, the kind that make this retreat what it is. Expect clean lines, natural materials, and a deep sense of place — the kind of hotel that knows when to be present and when to disappear.
Choose a Double for shared comfort, or upgrade to a Single room for heightened privacy.
