Qigong is a holistic, ancient way of knowing – a way of life – that greatly benefits our state of health and wellbeing — mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Originating in China 5,000+ years ago, Qigong can be partially translated as ‘working with the life force energy.’ Through breath work, intention, graceful and purposeful movements, meditation, Taoist nutrition and lifestyle we acknowledge – and remember – our inseparable connection to, and interdependence upon, the natural world that gives us life in each and every moment.

Our internal world is a microcosm of our external world, or macrocosm. We are part of Nature in all its magnificence and brilliance. Qigong reminds us of our sacred origin. Through the practices, we have the potential to realign with Nature, and flow in harmony with the ever-changing cycles, seasons, right time and timing.

As the technological world continues to speed up many people are experiencing more stress, anxiety, heart disease, depression, and other ailments in an effort to ‘keep up.’ Qigong invites us to slow down, return to our breath, and come back into our bodies. Qigong reminds us that we carry within – as part of Nature – the source of healing for ourselves, others and our beautiful Mother Earth.
