Join Us on an Unforgettable Journey
Come join us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation in the heart of the Red Sea.
Our retreat on a diving safari boat is an opportunity to unplug from the chaos of daily life and connect with your inner wisdom.
- Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves and diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea…
- Imagine feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin and the breeze on your face…
- Imagine experiencing a sense of peace and calm that you may have forgotten was possible…
This retreat is about being with nature and reconnecting to yourself, your purpose and a positive direction in your life. Give yourself the time and space to rest, relax and connect with yourself and something greater than you.
On this retreat, you will have the opportunity to explore the beauty of the Red Sea and its magic of the underwater world, and to join with like-minded people who are also on a journey of self-discovery.
Come and join us on this adventure of a lifetime and rediscover your passion, purpose, and your inner joy.
Allow yourself to be guided by the rhythm of the ocean and the wisdom of your heart – trust that this journey will lead you to new horizons, new insights, and a new sense of self.
What is Qi Gong?
‘Qi’ is the Chinese word for the ‘life force’ or ‘vital energy’ that flows through every living thing. ‘Gong’ means work, skill or benefits acquired through perseverance and practice.
Qi Gong is a gentle and ancient Chinese practice that focuses on the harmonisations of mind, body, and spirit.
Qi Gong, which is sometimes spelled Chi-Kung (and pronounced chee-gung), is the study and practice of cultivating vital life force through various techniques, which include:
- Gentle flowing movements
- Breathing techniques
- Energetic postures
- Calming meditations
- Guided imagery
- And learning how to strengthen our intentions.
The Forest Rock Qigong approach is practical, enjoyable, easy-to-follow and is for anyone at any level of experience.
As the retreat progresses, your understanding of Qi Gong and the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine will grow to a deeper level. You will also learn how it effects your health and wellness.
The practices themselves are very accessible, you don’t have to be extremely flexible or have aerobic fitness to perform the movements.
What is Breathwork?
By paying attention to our breath and using it as a tool, we can positively impact our physical and emotional wellbeing. This makes breathwork an accessible and effective way to enhance our overall health.
Breathwork is a mindful practice that focuses on regulating one’s breath to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
By intentionally altering the depth, pace, and pattern of the breath, you can influence your body’s response, leading to increased oxygen intake, reduced tension, and enhanced mental clarity.
Breathwork can be a valuable tool for stress reduction, emotional release, mental clarity, and improving overall health and vitality. It is used as a practice to help achieve a state of calm and balance.
It can serve as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth. It may help you connect with your inner self and gain insights into your thought patterns and emotions.
Diving
Snorkeling and diving in the Red Sea is extraordinary and is regarded as one of the best diving locations in the world.
There are 3-4 dive opportunities per day included in our retreat and on the last day 2-3 dives.
The 4 daily dives are included for certified divers only and for the non divers, you are free to snorkel.
You can also do an open water dive course before the start of the retreat (for an extra charge). This will take 4 days. For more information, visit: https://www.redseaexplorers.com/

Shaimaa Adel
Shaimaa is a Qi Gong teacher, Breathwork practitioner, and Mandala Drawing teacher.
