NEW Level 1! This workshop now contains the Five Elements Movements along with new language and new activation focus. You will learn a lot and love this new teaching!
In this NEW Spring Forest Qigong (SFQ) Level 1 Workshop you will learn techniques to help yourself heal, increase self-awareness, build internal energy and develop a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Qigong means “working with Qi” (commonly known as energy). It is a science of using the breath, body, mind, and sound to Achieve and Maintain Perfect Health.
AUTHENTIC QIGONG COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING
Its deep roots set it apart. Spring Forest Qigong Level One – Qi Activation is not your standard Qigong practice class. Rather, it is comprehensive training fully encompassing the ancient science of Qigong. This training grounds you firmly in that tradition while helping you understand the mystery and secrets of Qigong Healing.
The NEW LEVEL 1 teachings focus more on Qi Activation and connecting with your body’s energy and the intelligence of the Universe to bring about deep healing of body, mind, and spirit. You will also feel and experience more connection to nature and the changing of the seasons.

The best is you will learn lifelong tools and techniques to heal yourself. This workshop is in a Zoom classroom setting. Bring a pen and notebook!

Thank you for this wonderful class! I felt you taught from the heart. And so, I found your interest, knowledge, & passion for Qigong rather contagious. You have a knack to explain the intricacies or complexities in simple terms, so a relative newbie like me can understand, and absorb. I am grateful to have been a student of yours for my first time ever course with SFQ. You exceeded my expectations. And they were pretty high.
