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.
