Fasting & Meditation in an Oasis of Permaculture: A 7-Day Retreat in Yunnan

Benelux Chamber member Kabissa is inviting members to a seven-day retreat combining fasting, meditation, and permaculture at their farm in the mountains of Yunnan, approximately 2.5 hours from Kunming Airport. Taking place from September 6–12, 2026, the retreat offers a chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with nature, and restore inner balance through guided mindful fasting, daily meditation, Zhan Zhuang, breathwork, and nature walks, alongside mindful eating with simple, seasonal food.

The retreat is guided by Deng Minyan, a native of Dongchuan trained in Chinese Medicine, and Patrick Nijs, former senior  Belgian Diplomat, and longtime permaculture and meditation practicioner. Limited to a small group of 6 participants, the fee is 5,000 RMB, including farmhouse accommodation. Interested members can reach out to pn@patricknijs.org for more information.
