Qigong & Trails Adventures

Fully catered small-group wellness retreats and adventure holidays

Porto • Costa Brava • Scotland

Discover experiences that blend breath, movement, and connection.

What Is Qigong & Trails?

Qigong & Trails retreats blend simple, accessible movement with time outdoors and breath awareness.

Qigong is introduced as everyday movement – slow, adaptable practices that support posture, coordination, breathing, and balance. No prior experience needed.

Trails means guided walking (and optional run/walk) in beautiful natural settings – moving at a comfortable pace, responsive to the landscape rather than chasing distance or performance.

Together, they create space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and carry simple practices back into daily life.

Qigong & Trails retreats range from short mid-week pauses (2 days in Scotland) to extended immersive journeys (4 days in Porto and Costa Brava). All blend simple movement, breathwork, and time outdoors – the difference is duration, location, and level of immersion.

All retreats are small-group (6-8 people), fully catered, with accommodation included. Everything is guided in a supportive, pressure-free way.

Thank you for both being so open to share your knowledge, your kindness not to judge our abilities and how comfortable you made me feel in a totally out-of -comfort, anxious and foreign situation. I felt that I was allowed to be just me. The dips in Loch Long reminded me what being alive feels like and inspired me to LIVE rather than exist. It was amazing and I hope to continue this journey you have helped me start walking.

I can now officially conclude that this has been the best holiday of my life … After so many weeks and months of trying – I really feel like I have found my stride.

Cat TownsendDirector – The Good Alliance

The best thing I learned from you [Gray] and Pablo – running long, slow, and happy is the best. I completed a 100k the other weekend! It went so well. There’s hardly a day that we don’t run.

The coaches and the group make for a wonderful experience whether you are on the trail, during qigong session or enjoying breakfast, there is great synergy with this group. Catalonia and Costa Brava have great energy, history and beauty. best to me. Highly recommended!
