Wellness Practices to Unite Mind, Body and Spirit
The Universal Consciousness Festival is a multi-day gathering dedicated to health, harmony and conscious living, bringing together ancient wisdom and modern wellness practices. First established in 2014 in response to Colorado’s historic floods, the festival was created to reunite community through shared values of healing and well-being.
Today, the festival continues to offer a supportive space for connection, education and personal empowerment. Through a diverse lineup of presenters, workshops and experiential offerings, participants are invited to explore practical tools for cultivating physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance and longevity.
Join a community committed to living a healthy, happy, and harmonious life—together.
| Community Qi Gong & Tai Chi - 2026 |
Dao House is pleased to welcome the 2026 season of Community Qi Gong and Tai Chi, offering weekly indoor or outdoor movement practice in the serene mountain environment of the Rocky Mountains.
Beginning January 2026, we will host weekly Sunday classes from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM online, and open to both beginners and continuing students. These sessions provide an opportunity to study and experience authentic Wu Dang–style Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Dao Yin, passed down through a 600-year unbroken lineage rooted in traditional Daoist practice.
Those interested in participating or learning more about authentic Wu Dang Tai Chi and Qi Gong study are encouraged to contact us at info@daohouse.com.
| Northern Shaolin Retreat in the Colorado Mountains |
September 26 - 27, 2026 - With Sifu Kisu at Dao House
Set in the breathtaking stillness of the Colorado mountains, this immersive retreat offers a rare opportunity to train directly under one
of the foremost living transmitters of traditional Northern Shaolin Kung Fu.
Hosted at the secluded Dao House near Estes Park, this experience will focus on the essential foundations of Northern Shaolin (Bak Siu Lum Pai)
and one of its most vital root systems: Tan Tui (Spring Leg)—the engine behind power, coordination, and true combative flow in Northern Chinese
martial arts.
This is not performance. This is transmission.
