Shaolin Retreat Camping 2023 July

Our popular annual event has returned and this year we plan to make it an even bigger success - new exciting location, new possibilities, and more fun for everyone and families!

This year the retreat will be held from July 12th to 16th. There are 2 parts for the retreat and you can join us for one or both!

Shaolin Retreats are organized by Master Dao with the help of his fellow Shaolin Brothers, and are intended to provide a space and time for people to develop spiritual connection as well as build our Shaolin community.

Part 1 - Shaolin Meditation and Philosophy (3 Days)- July 12th to 14th - Wednesday to Friday: Explore the ancient wisdom of Shaolin Zen with Master Dao and learn to apply it for clarity and peace. Approximately 6 hours of meditation, qigong, and philosophy each day which includes discussion and 'quiet contemplation' exercises. No experience needed. Participants must be 13 years of age and older. Families can bring their children but must respect and ensure a quiet experience for everyone.

Camping Location

We are hosting our retreat at Rock Point Provincial Park.

Rock Point is about 2 hours drive from Toronto and is situated in the northeast point of Lake Erie at Dunnville, Ontario.

We have chosen this location for its secluded group sites, sandy beaches, beautiful sunrise scenery for our morning qigong sessions, and abundance of activities including swimming, hiking, birding, boating, fishing, and its Discovery Program.

There are exposed fossils of a coral reef dating back to over 350 million years embedded in limestone shelf along the beach. There is also a viewing platform above sand dunes.

The store in the park is well stocked in case you forget to bring essentials. They have some great souvenir items such as mugs and clothing.
