About the Jamaica Retreat:
The USA Shaolin Temple Retreats have become the stuff of legend. Over 1500 years of traditional Shaolin Temple Martial Arts or Ch’an Buddhism, Tai Ji, Chi Kung, and philosophy packaged in an intensive, immersive experience where students, disciples, and retreatants live, breath, eat, and sleep Shaolin.

April 5th-11th marks a new chapter in the USA Shaolin Temple Warrior Monk Retreat Schedule, as we journey abroad to spend 7 days and nights of training in the over 1500 years of traditional Shaolin disciplines as transmitted by 34th Generation Shaolin Temple Monk Shifu Shi Yan Ming, all while embedded in the stunning cliff environments of Negril Jamaica. Join us and help us raise money for the USA Shaolin Temple Capital Campaign, as we proudly offer our first ever week long, fully immersive Warrior Monk Retreat.
You will train amongst the abundant and resplendent natural phenomena of Negril, Jamaica, where stunning cliff panoramas unfold over the sparkling blue waters of the Carribean where pirates and royal armadas vied for power and gold, giving way to miles and miles of white sugar sand beaches where we will take our morning warm up jogs. The disciplines of Tai Ji and Chi Kung will be diligently pursued against this vibrant and awe inspiring background, offering retreatants a serious opportunity to gain major improvements in their practice, whether you are a Shaolin practitioner, other kungfu or martial arts stylist, or Yoga practitioner, even for beginners. Our host for the retreat will be the Negril Escape Resort and Spa, offering retreatants a far more comfortable living experience than we’ve previously been able to provide. All meals, training, and rooms will be included in the package price, as well as your airport transfers to and from Montego Bay. Retreatants will be responsible for airfare from their departure city to Montego Bay. Three meals a day are prepared according to our traditional menus and specifications by a local Chinese Jamaican chef, adding a unique and nutritious touch to our traditional communal meals.
A “Chi-up” day will be held at Paradise Park in Savanna La Mar, a working Jamaican Estate and farm nestled amongst the low mountains and virgin beaches of the Parish of Westmoreland, where we will also have a traditional Jamaican meal beneath the branches of a tree that was ancient before our fathers were born. Horseback riding, virgin beach, and country terrain from river bends to oceans are available for hiking and exploration amongst the farms workers and animal occupants, such as herds of several different kinds of horses, ponies, English and Indian cows, birds, and goats.
Packages begin at $1595, for more information on how to register, payment details, deposit dates, retreat schedule, and to reserve your space, info will be available shortly.
