Getting There
Once past the gate there's no public transit up the mountain. We strongly recommend renting a car and carpooling with fellow attendees.
Local taxis, Uber, and Lyft are available. Evo Car Share is at YVR airport too β please note that Evo does not have designated parking in Maple Ridge near the retreat facility, so consider reserving it for your full stay or finding a nearby Evo zone.

Sessions blend physical practice, meditation, and instructional and inspirational talks from Sifu Adam. He follows a natural flow, so sessions may start earlier or end later depending on the teaching.
Breaks are built in (Sifu Adam adjusts timing as needed), but you're always welcome to take personal breaks whenever you need β just sneak out ninja-style π₯· so you don't disturb anyone. This is your practice.
Sifu Adam and the team will provide fruits and light snacks throughout to keep your energy up.

Venue Gallery:
This inner circle isnβt a seminar to be studied;
itβs a transmission to be felt.
If you feel the pull toward the Qi field, the timing is correct.
If the intent is clear, the rest is just a matter of showing up to the field.
