Kitchen Qi Retreat
A 3-Night, 4-Day Culinary Journey into Healing Foods, Seasonal Wisdom & Inner Flow
November 6-9, 2025 | Hosted by Carole Murko | Love.Eat.Heal | Stockbridge, MA
If you’ve ever felt the medicine in a warm, home-cooked meal—or the joy of cooking with intention—this retreat is for you. The KitchenQi Retreat is a celebration of cooking as ceremony, nourishment as energy, and food as a path to vitality.
Through hands-on cooking sessions, seasonal ingredients, and joyful communal meals, you’ll awaken your kitchen intuition and walk away with recipes, rituals, and practices that heal from the inside out.
Blended gently into each day are the teachings of the Chinese Five Element Consciousness Framework, plus the full Dragon’s Way Qigong movement practices to align your energy and deepen your connection to nature, food, and self.
What You’ll Do
Cook Together – Daily workshops where you’ll create seasonal meals designed for healing and balance.
KitchenQi Wisdom Sessions – Learn the energetics of food and how ingredients relate to your emotions, seasons, and body.
Morning Movement – Begin the day with Dragon’s Way Qigong to activate digestion and flow.
Nature & Nourishment – Forest walks and wood-fired hot tub evenings under the stars.

Dragon’s Way Qigong Guidebook and practice video
6-one-hour/week follow-up group practice sessions
Lifelong connection to nourishing community

Meet Your Facilitator
Carole Murko
My own path to loving myself is still unfurling. The tools that have helped me are meditation, qigong, energy healers, shaman, plant medicine and herbalism, conscious eating, and more.
I pursued certifications to deepen my understanding of healing and I am now teaching these and helping others.
I am a healer. A coach. A love activist. I teach you how to create the best version of yourself through neuroscience, nutrition, and qigong.
My hallmark program is Dr. Joe Dispenza’s neuroscience-based change program, CHANGE YOUR MIND…CREATE NEW RESULTS. I teach this within corporations to corporate leaders and their teams, to entrepreneurs, to individuals (one-on-one), and retreat-style to groups. The program is designed to create a fundamental understanding of how our brain and body work so you can begin to master your thoughts to create your future. To master yourself. In my humble opinion, it is mind-blowingly effective when participants practice the tools and experience the transformation that changes their lives, their organization, and their health.
