How do you want to spend this weekend? A half-day retreat on Lantau offers the ancient cacao ceremony, kundalini yoga, a glimpse into the Akashic records and an ecstatic dance ceremony.

You could hang out in a hammock letting the sounds of gongs drown out your anxiety and stress, learn new dance steps, visit a wellness expo or learn a new racquet sport.

You are spoiled for choice.

1. Floating Zen at Red Doors Studio on Sunday

Treat yourself to a relaxing Sunday with Yumi and Stephanie at Red Doors Studio, as they combine the immersive power of gongs with the healing energy of reiki.

The gongs’ vibrations relax the mind, release tension and are supposed to promote healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels.

This Sunday’s sessions are from 10.30am to 11.45am, and from 12.30pm to 1.45pm, and are in English, Cantonese or Japanese. You can either use a hammock or a mat.

Each session, which is open to anyone aged 12 and above, ends with home-made spiced tea and brownies and costs HK$350, with discounts for seniors and full-time students.

All equipment is provided, just bring your own comfortable clothes, although you are welcome to bring your own crystals to be recharged.
