Daoist Meditation & Internal Cultivation

Meditation at Cultivate Costa Rica is based on authentic Daoist meditation practices focused on attunement, regeneration, and the retrieval and sublimation of Qi (life force energy). Passed down through Wudang White Horse and Five Immortals Temple in China’s Wudang Mountain to Tamarindo, Costa Rica, training integrates stillness and movement to offer various access points for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.



Rather than promising superficial changes, meditation as a Traditional Daoist practice is taught in a progressive and disciplined way to ensure deep metamorphosis, down to the hormonal and cellular level.

Freeing oneself from desires and attachments, finding true clarity and stillness, seeing into the non-dual nature of reality directly. Sometimes blissful, sometimes difficult, Daoist Meditation starts with the assumption that due to the fractal nature of reality, a human being is a microcosm of the entire universe. Thus, we can experience reality most directly not by looking outside of ourselves, but by looking within, concentrating all of our vital energy and attention inside the body and observing the changes.

Common experiences include: emotional regulation, increased awareness (& eventual freedom from) repetitive thought patterns, reduced reactivity to stress & less self-created suffering. Increased energy, resolution of disease or injury, embodied feeling of connectedness to universe and sentient beings. Awakening of extra sensory experience, enhanced intuition, increased feeling of alignment.
