About the Event

Led by Carlos de León, this introductory evening offers an experiential glimpse into the foundational principles of the Embodied Shadow Retreat (Year One).

Rather than approaching shadow work through intellectual understanding alone, the Ontogonic Path integrates three complementary approaches: 

  • Qigong — Energy & Presence: Cultivate internal energy, grounding, vitality, and greater sensitivity to the body. 
  • Meditation — Awareness & Clarity: Develop the capacity to observe thoughts, emotions, and sensations with greater presence and openness. 
  • Ontogonic Body-Mind Therapy — Embodied Understanding: Explore how unconscious patterns reveal themselves through the body, breath, emotions, posture, and movement. 

Together, these practices create a compassionate and embodied approach to awareness, integration, and transformation.

What You Will Discover

  • The essential principles of embodied shadow work 
  • The relationship between body, energy, and consciousness 
  • How Qigong supports grounding and inner stability
