Awaken Your Potential! Tai Chi Retreat with George Thompson
Thursday, June 26 – Sunday, June 29
This multi-day immersive retreat empowers you to rediscover your inner strength and creating lasting transformation.
With the guidance of George Thompson—renowned filmmaker and disseminator of Daoist philosophy—you’ll embark on a journey of practical wisdom, transformative movement, and profound self-reflection, all within a nurturing and supportive community.
Meet George
I’m George Thompson, a filmmaker, storyteller and educator. Drawing from my extensive studies in the Wudang Mountains of China, I have dedicated my life to translating ancient wisdom into fun, practical tools for overcoming the challenges of modern life—from anxiety, meaninglessness to disconnection.
From Pain to Purpose
Like many, my journey began in pain. After completing education, I was consumed by anxiety and a sense of meaninglessness. In search of answers, I ventured to the Wudang Mountains of China to study Tai Chi and Daoism under Master Gu. There, I immersed myself in practices that opened my eyes to the principles of balance, harmony, and flow.
These ancient practices transformed my life and taught me that to hurt is to be human—and yet, within that pain lies the potential for profound transformation. This realisation became the foundation of my life’s work.
George’s Mission
Today, I am humbled that my organisation Balance is Possible! has grown into a thriving team of 19 people from 12 countries. Together, we run the world’s most popular Tai Chi school, produce films that have inspired millions, and host transformational events across the globe. Through playfulness and joy, our mission is to guide people towards clarity, purpose, and lasting balance.
