Medical Qigong is a complex and potent healing art practiced within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This ancient treasure will be explored in these seminars as we share Chinese teachings about mind, body and spirit. Since pre-historic times Chinese mystics fiercely guarded this knowledge. Our seminar series is carefully designed to expose you to the necessary fundamentals of Chinese Medicine so that you can understand the context and full meaning behind the teachings and forms in Medical Qigong. We pride ourselves in providing an integrated educational, yet easily understood, format for learning Medical Qigong, weaving together this ancient discipline with modern medical understanding of our physical, emotional and spiritual experience of health.
