The Power Within

A one-day urban retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to what matters most.


Combining Qi Gong, Yin, Spiritual Inquiry (Dharma), and Expansion Breathwork, the day creates space for greater clarity, balance, and self-awareness.


Led by Em Cruickshank and Mark Moon, it offers a grounded introduction to the philosophy and practices behind our longer retreats while remaining a powerful experience in its own right.

What You Walk Away With

  • Practical breathwork and movement tools you can use at home
  • A deeper relationship with your body, breath, and energy
  • Greater capacity to meet stress with presence rather than reactivity
  • A renewed sense of clarity, vitality, and purpose


Whether you're curious about our longer retreats or simply want a meaningful day to step away from the demands of everyday life, this experience offers space to slow down, reconnect, and return to your life differently.

Retreats are not about escaping life, but meeting it more fully

The Flow of the Day

We begin by slowing down.

A grounding Qi Gong practice softens the edges and helps you land fully in your body. Slow, intentional movement settles the nervous system, opens energy pathways, and creates space to arrive not just physically but internally.


We explore the theme of the day through guided spiritual inquiry. Rather than a lecture, this is a structured conversation exploring your Dharma, energy, perception, and the patterns shaping your experience that will carry into the afternoon.


We break for a grounded, seasonal lunch, with time to reflect, digest, and connect. You may engage in conversation or simply enjoy quiet reflection time.

In the afternoon, we turn toward the breath.

You will be guided through an immersive Expansion Breathwork experience where breath becomes a direct pathway into clarity, vitality, emotional openness, and self-awareness. This is the heart of the day.


This is not about chasing intensity or forcing change. It is a structured and supportive process that works with the intelligence of the body, the wisdom of the breath, and the natural capacity of the nervous system to reorganise.


We close gently. Through reflection, sharing, and integration, the insights of the day are given space to settle. You leave feeling clearer, more connected, and more available for life.

Spaces Are Intentionally Limited

Our One-Day Retreat is designed to be small enough for depth and spacious enough for personal autonomy. A meaningful introduction to the philosophy, practices, and community behind The Power Within Retreat Series.


If this speaks to you, we’d love to welcome you.
