About This Event

Description

Join Dan Millman, bestselling author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior and renowned spiritual teacher, alongside Qigong practitioner Daisy Lee for an transformative workshop event in Stockbridge designed to help you discover your authentic life path and purpose. This intimate gathering at the prestigious Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health brings together two wisdom traditions—Western spiritual philosophy and Eastern energy cultivation—to guide you toward clarity, fulfillment, and aligned living. Whether you're at a crossroads, seeking deeper meaning, or ready to step into your potential, this workshop event offers practical tools and ancient wisdom to illuminate your unique journey.

The atmosphere blends contemplation with active exploration. You'll experience a dynamic blend of guided reflection, somatic practices, and interactive learning that honors both the thinking mind and the intuitive body. Expect to leave with a clearer sense of direction, renewed energy, and a personalized framework for navigating life's biggest questions.

What to Expect

This workshop unfolds as a guided journey rather than a passive lecture. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed into Kripalu's serene natural setting, allowing time to arrive fully and settle your nervous system. As the day progresses, you'll move through distinct phases: opening teachings from Dan Millman that weave inspiration with practical philosophy, followed by Daisy Lee's Qigong sessions that activate your inner vitality and intuitive knowing.

The format alternates between large-group instruction, small group discussions, and personal reflection time. You'll experience guided meditations, gentle movement practices, and interactive exercises designed to help you excavate your values, gifts, and life direction. Journaling prompts and partner conversations create space for integration and insight. The day concludes with a closing ceremony that anchors your commitments and sends you forward with renewed purpose.

Come prepared to be present, curious, and willing to look inward. This is an experiential workshop event—not merely intellectual—so expect to feel, move, and connect as much as you listen.

About the Artists

Dan Millman is an internationally recognized author, spiritual teacher, and former world-champion athlete whose groundbreaking book Way of the Peaceful Warrior has inspired millions worldwide and was adapted into a feature film starring Nicolas Cage. Drawing on his unique background bridging elite athletics, martial arts, and consciousness studies, Dan teaches a practical, grounded approach to spiritual development that speaks to modern seekers. His wisdom cuts through spiritual bypassing, offering readers and students a warrior's path of integrity, presence, and purposeful living.

Daisy Lee is a dedicated Qigong teacher and practitioner who skillfully blends classical Chinese energy cultivation techniques with contemporary wellness insights. Her approach honors traditional Qigong principles while making them accessible and relevant to modern life, helping students unlock inner peace, restore vitality, and develop a deeper relationship with their own life force. Through gentle movement and breathwork, Daisy guides participants into states of calm presence where intuition and clarity naturally emerge.

Common Questions

FAQs

This event focuses specifically on life path and purpose—core themes from Way of the Peaceful Warrior but deepened through his broader teaching framework developed across 18 books. Millman synthesizes insights from his four spiritual mentors and his decades as an athlete, coach, and professor, so expect practical guidance on finding direction that goes beyond the memoir's narrative arc.
While Millman's athletic background profoundly shapes his philosophy, his live teaching events are primarily dialogue and lecture-based rather than physically led. His martial arts and gymnastics experience inform his approach to presence and discipline, but this event at Kripalu will focus on the contemplative and wisdom-teaching aspects of his work.
Millman typically builds from the film's foundation but moves into deeper, more nuanced territory developed across his 18 books and 50+ years of teaching. While he may acknowledge the film, his live events draw on the full scope of his spiritual quest and mentorship experiences, not just the adapted narrative.
His live teaching allows for real-time dialogue, specific guidance on your personal situation, and the transmission of presence that a longtime teacher embodies—something distinct from the solitary reading experience. At Kripalu, you'll also benefit from the center's contemplative environment and community setting, which amplifies the teaching.
