You have much to celebrate.
You’ve made it this far because you have vision, heart, and determination.
People look to you as a leader and guide.
You’re constantly giving and innovating, using your hard-earned wisdom to serve others who are still finding their way.
Powerful stuff.
But when do you get to recharge?
Where do you go when you want to deepen, to nourish your spirit?
It’s not always easy to find experiences that take you further than you’ve already explored.
You’re seeking something with depth, meaning, and wisdom.
And too often, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle where you’re in constant service to others, without getting the time you need for your own healing, fulfillment, and joy.
Sometimes we forget that no matter how resilient, inspiring, and impactful they are, the healers need healing, the leaders need guidance, and even high-power coaches need to feel seen and nurtured.
One of the most common things we hear from people who have dedicated themselves to helping others heal and grow is how while they absolutely love it, and wouldn’t trade it for the world, it can lead to some massive burnout.
Another part of being a leader of change and growth is that it can get lonely. The people who understand you the most are often just as busy as you, which makes it hard to get together to connect and recharge.
But that’s all about to change!
As you get ready for your magical gathering, you’ll be surrounded by people who get it.
Who get you.
And now, there’s even more to look forward to: Master Mingtong Gu and The Chi Center team are offering a special 4-day event August 30 & 31, September 1 & 2, 2021 at Master Mingtong's retreat center just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.

You were always meant to live a vibrant,
healthy, unapologetically joyous life.
healthy, unapologetically joyous life.
When you were born, you started with a beautiful, innocent openness. The world was a fascinating place, and you were full of energy and curiosity to explore it.
You healed quickly from injuries, you bounced back resiliently from failure (like the not-so-graceful process of learning to walk and feed yourself), and had an innate drive to grow.
As life continued, you experienced grief, hurt, anger, fear...and that beautiful openness started getting covered over with defense mechanisms and painful beliefs.
They were necessary to help you navigate life with the tools you had at that stage of your life.
In time, these painful emotions and beliefs sank deeper into your body. They changed how you feel, how you react, even how you perceive.
As pain led you to armor yourself against the hurts in life, you began to feel cut off, fatigued, and frustrated.
That unresolved pain kept sinking deeper into you, turning to illness, or physical and emotional pain that you carried with you every day.
Some of them have been a part of you for so long that you can’t remember life without them, or how they started.
Even though you’ve worked deeply to heal, and then help others, there’s still places that need more care.
What if you could reclaim that peak joyful, energized, and healthy state?
Do you want to take a deeper dive into healing your body, releasing emotional pain, and freeing yourself from stories and beliefs that no longer serve you?
You have natural ways of doing this, embedded in your organs, your mind, and your spirit, but throughout our lives, we’re taught to disconnect from them, and the energy that activates them.
When you’re disconnected from the mechanisms and energies that are there to help you heal and open, it’s easy to get trapped in downward spirals in your body, mind, and heart.
This can look like struggling with depression, grief, or a chronic illness.
It can show up as fatigue, anxiety, overwhelm, or painful recurring memories.
It sometimes manifests in becoming a workaholic, or needing drastic measures to get you to slow down and feel.
It can even feel like a nagging sense that something is missing...that you aren’t your fullest self...a dulling of your spirit.
This disconnect can get so deep that it stops you from even doing the things that do bring you joy.
What if there was a way to rebuild your energy, rebalance your emotions, and help your body tap into a profound source of healing?
What if you could use something to strengthen your body from the inside out, that makes everything else you do to heal even more effective?
How different would things be if you were full of energy, curiosity, and clarity, even on demanding days?
Picture how your life would feel if you had all the energy, vibrant health, and joy that you’ve been missing.
You’d have the energy and presence to connect deeply with the people you love.
You could spend time with your family without telling them you’re too tired and need to rest.
Your joy would overflow into more loving sexual interactions.
You’d enjoy feeling your body’s strength and safety in whatever you did.
New launches in your business would be filled with energy and excitement instead of exhaustion and anxiety.
Finally, you would have the energy and emotional spaciousness to explore your deeper interests, creativity, and purpose...
...instead of just trying to get through another day of pain, overwhelm, or exhaustion.
According to Qigong Wisdom and Chinese medicine, the roots
of our illness and emotional pain go far beyond symptoms.
There’s a bigger picture that is waiting to be addressed.
of our illness and emotional pain go far beyond symptoms.
There’s a bigger picture that is waiting to be addressed.
Today’s modern medicine is an important part of that picture, and there are some incredibly skillful and caring doctors out there who are doing everything they can to help.
The thing is, there are other aspects of who we are that are an important part of deeper healing.
The things we struggle with aren’t just physical. There are other dimensions to our experiences, such as energy, emotion, mind, spirit, and heart.
In order to fully heal and create a better baseline for your life, you need to reconnect and recharge each of these dimensions within you.
Without addressing these other parts, the deeper contributors to dis-ease and emotional pain continue to run their programs, staying in an unhealthy cycle.
That’s why people can recover from a serious illness or injury, only to repeat it later on.
While the body physically recovered, the deeper patterns weren’t changed. They were still “wired” for pain or illness.
When standard medical treatments don’t do enough to help, it’s normal to start feeling like you’ve run out of options...and hope.
It’s usually at this point that people find us.

Why Qigong Could Be The Most Important Practice You Do For Healing & Awakening
Qigong is much more than a relaxation practice, or gentle stretches.
In fact, it’s used in China in many hospitals complementary to, or even instead of medicine.
People who don’t know about its more profound applications often compare it to tai chi or yoga, but that frame of reference is only a watered-down version of the full range of benefits available through Wisdom Healing Qigong.
Here are a few facts that might surprise you:
1. Qigong is accessible for people of all levels of ability.
Unlike tai chi and yoga, which require certain levels of physical ability to benefit, Qigong can be done effectively by anyone, even if they’re wheelchair bound, or unable to use their bodies. That’s because it works on the level of the physical body, energy body, and spirit body. Even someone unable to physically move can still move the energy with tangible benefits, simply by focusing on using their energy and spirit bodies for the practices.
2. Qigong keeps growing with you.
Doing Qigong is a lifelong adventure. As you go deeper into your practice, new doors within you are unlocked, opening your ability to get entirely new benefits at each stage of your progress. There’s no limit to how deep you can go, or what you can discover. Your relationship with your body and the many realms of existence -- both seen and unseen -- will keep transforming.
3. Qigong is actual medicine.
Did you know that Qigong can be used to heal when you have specific disease, even including cancer and chronic illness? It’s pretty incredible. It can be used to enhance medical treatments, making them more effective while minimizing side effects, but it can also be utilized as a complete healing system within itself. In fact, an incredible woman named Bianca healed herself completely from Parkinson’s, only using Zhineng Wisdom Healing Qigong. Things that allopathic medicine would consider miraculous are natural with Qigong.
4. Qigong offers tangible results, even for people who are new to it.
With many forms of healing, it takes a long time to see if the method you’re working with will offer any meaningful benefits. With Qigong, people can come to a single retreat and have a breakthrough with a condition they’ve struggled with for decades. These improvements are crucial for people who have been losing hope and feeling trapped. We get so many emotional, amazed emails from event participants who share how they’ve suddenly let go of pain they’ve lived with for years, new realizations around old emotional scarring, and even powerful life changes, like regaining the strength to walk after requiring a wheelchair.
5. Qigong is a powerful option for people who keep being told they need to “learn to live with” their pain or illness because nothing else can be done."
We’ve had (and continue to receive) countless stories of people coming across our healing center when standard treatments could only take them so far. People who were in pain, who had no idea where to turn, who desperately needed something to get better. Over and over again we get letters from students who see incredible resolution from chronic conditions within just one intense retreat or a few weeks of daily guided practice.
6. Qigong enhances all other spiritual, mental, and physical practices.
Legend has it that Bodhidharma arrived at the Shaolin Temple, and found that the monks were sick and weak. Not only did this affect them physically, but it stopped them from reaching important states of consciousness in their sitting meditations.
He helped them solve this by teaching them Qigong. And it worked. The Shaolin Monks transformed their health and eventually became known for their powerful spiritual gifts, and their extraordinary feats of mental and physical strength, by tapping into their internal energy.
In our experience, a similar widespread phenomenon is happening today — people are practicing sitting meditation without reaping the full rewards available.
Your practices can be much more than relaxation or “clearing your mind” if you have unimpeded access to universal energy.
Simply adding a daily Qigong practice can completely change your experience of meditation, broaden your creative capacity, expand your spiritual connections, and fulfill the purpose of your life... just like it did for the Shaolin Monks 1500 years ago.

"I've spent my life studying Healing traditions from around the world and practicing them. And I just finished a 5-day Qigong retreat with Master Mingtong Gu. And I have to say, honestly, from my heart as well as my mind, that it was the most impactful experience of healing I've ever had. The practice is completely holistic, and it brings together energy medicine in a way that you feel the healing of the mind, of the emotions, and of the body.
"And most importantly for me, there's such a sense of connection to the source of being. The light that comes in is really transformative. I felt my whole body actually shifting... and I'm amazed at how I feel so much more comfortable in my body. My husband and I are now going to continue to learn to do the practice when we leave. This short retreat has been an amazing experience and I plan to continue using these techniques, hopefully for the rest of my life. I'm very grateful".

"This retreat has been been a really transformational moment for me. Before I arrived I felt like I was hitting a wall of my capacity and ability to deliver on the mission that I'm here to do. There are many people in the room, who like me, have spent so much time doing their transformational work in the shadows, doing the work in private, doing the work where people don't think that it matters or that it's not a big deal.
"I'm just here to tell you that I think next year is going to be a transformational year for our movement for a change — the transformation of medicine. A lot of people have been working extremely hard for a long time to be able to create a world in which this is possible. And I think that the transformation of medicine will lead to the transformation of other areas of society that are looking pretty bleak at this moment. I honestly think that this movement is the solution to all of those problems simultaneously.
"And, so I just want to appreciate all those people who have come before — the fore-fathers and the fore-mothers—who have created a platform for young people like me who have arrived here in strong agreement about what we're here to do on this planet. As we sat around and thought about how could we get loads more doctors interested in energy medicine, we realized that the jump from where we are now to energy medicine was too big. And, we need to create some stepping stones for people now. So my colleagues and I have spent the last four years building stepping stones around functional medicine as sort of "Wholism 101".
"I believe that there's many forces of circumstances serendipitously coming together to create the potential for new systems in a new world. And I'm not surprised that it's flowing right through The Chi Center and the practices of Wisdom Healing Qigong" .

"Many of us are recognizing that we are collectively moving through unchartered waters of awakening. We need guidance and we need tools. As a practitioner focused on transformative healing, it is imperative that I walk the walk and explore the ancient technologies that are available to us in service of my patients.
"Straight out of the Chinese Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, Master Mingtong Gu has brought the radically powerful ancient self-healing protocols of Qigong to the USA. Consisting of simple movements, visualization, and sounds, this modality has risen to the top of my list for liberating the body of stuck patterns of illness.
"For me, this retreat served as a self-healing exploration and an adventure into the farthest reaches of science-based holistic medicine."

"I'm happy and just a little bit surprised to say that after several days here at the retreat, I really feel completely clear and in a sense of ease, with more movement, more grace, more energy, more vitality, a sense of feeling very calm and peaceful but excited at the same time. There's been such a loving connection with everybody here — and a sense of spaciousness and expansiveness that has been really beautiful.
"I've also had a couple of pretty astounding mystical experiences too, which are very meaningful, profound, and beautiful, that will stay with me for the rest of my life. They happened during the practice, and in the visualization that followed — particularly something to do with moving the spine.
"For those of us working in integrative holistic fields, we are often steeped in the paradigm of living "from our neck up". So we have to be reminded all the time to get in the body. All the thinking and reading and dreaming and wishing is not going to take us where we truly want to go. We have to get deeply, deeply, deeply into the body— with a true understanding that the body, the mind, the heart, the spirit, are all one entity. Once you connect that, then everything starts flowing and everything gets revitalized. I feel so good!"

Here at The Chi Center for Wisdom Healing Qigong, our entire focus is on supporting your healing and awakening, at every level of your being.
Our founder, Master Mingtong Gu, started out with asthma, scoliosis, as well as deep emotional pain from an unhappy and unstable childhood while growing up in China.
He found very little relief from standard treatments, and was resigned to a life centered on trying to manage his symptoms and pain.
In 1993 during his search for relief and healing, a friend of his from Ohio invited him to a Qigong class she was teaching.
When he spoke about his first experience, he said, "I was fascinated but had no idea how this could improve my health. But then... I felt a sense of lightness, flexibility, and inner being-ness that I had never experienced before. I asked my friend if she had any books about the practice and she gave me a book written in Chinese about the Medicineless Qigong Hospital in China. This planted the seed that led to my return to China and studying with Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming."
The Chinese Hospital With No Medicine
Master Mingtong's journey to wellness led him to China, to Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming's Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Clinic, Training, and Recovery Center — also known as the Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, where he experienced profound healing through the ancient healing modality Zhineng Qigong, which translates to "Wisdom Healing Qigong".
This Center was unlike typical hospitals you might think of; it used Qigong as the only form of treatment.
Over 23 years, The Center in China served 200,000 people with chronic, incurable, and "terminal" illnesses with excellent results.
Master Mingtong learned that Zhineng Qigong wasn’t just about movements. The healing went far deeper than the physical...
“We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy [called qi or chi]. This approach produces quick results. But cultivating one’s qi/chi is not the most fundamental; cultivating one’s spirit is.
"Mastery of qi/chi is really achieved through mastery of consciousness. We use consciousness in a careful, craftsman-like way, to shape our life, to attain our goals…
"In modern terms, Qigong is just the refinement of consciousness to enhance the state of energy in the body. This leads to vibrant health, a harmonious body and mind, and awakened spiritual life.” —Dr. Ming Pang, creator of Zhineng Qigong (aka Wisdom Healing Qigong)
People might have come in for help with a chronic illness, but they left with a depth and renewed awakening of their spirit that changed their lives in profound ways.
At first, Mingtong went to Grandmaster Pang's Medicine-less Qigong Hospital simply with the intention of finding more inner peace and emotional balance.
Yet, what he got was so much more.
"The main changes I noticed, in the beginning, were emotional. I started to feel more open and more secure — an overall sense of centeredness at first, then a deeper sense of happiness, and eventually, an overall increase in my awareness and emotional capacity. I could feel my emotions return to inner centeredness and inner peace effectively when strong emotions arose — without being suppressed."
And, it didn't stop there.
"I started to notice a new sense of well-being after I decided to make this practice a regular routine. My spine started to open, my breathing became deeper, and my mind started to settle with an inner sense of exploration."
In time, with consistent practice, Master Mingtong healed his asthma and scoliosis completely.
It was incredible.
As he healed at The Medicine-less Qigong Hospital, Master Mingtong watched other people come with every sort of illness and emotional struggle you could imagine, and was fascinated to watch as residents got healthier and more joyful throughout their stay.
As miraculous as this sounds, there's a lot of scientific validation to it as well!

Effect of Qigong in Complex Pain
Wu, W.H. et.al. (1999). “Effect of Qigong on late-stage complex regional pain syndrome.” Alternative Therapies and Health Medicine 5(1): 45-54. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9893315/
In this study, scientists studied adults with complex regional pain syndrome, and split the volunteers into two groups.
One group got six 40-minute Qigong classes over 3 weeks, while the control group were given a “sham Qigong master” who gave them unrelated exercises.
So, what happened? 91% of the Qigong treatment group reported less pain, while the control group barely reported a fraction of that.
This is huge...but what about emotional pain?
arrow_drop_down_circle

Let’s talk about one of the hardest types of emotional pain to heal: extreme trauma.
Qigong and Tai Chi for Trauma Survivors
Grodin, M., et al. (2008) “Treating survivors of torture and refugee trauma: A preliminary case series using Qigong and Tai Chi,” Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine 14(7): 801-6. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2745908
In this incredibly moving study, 4 refugees who survived horrific torture volunteered to practice Qigong and Tai Chi to help them heal.
They committed to practicing for a year, while being treated at a Boston area torture treatment center.
While we won’t go into the heartbreaking details of what they experienced (although you can read it for yourself in the study), here’s a little bit of information about each volunteer, what they struggled with, and the improvements they found:
Volunteer #1: 30-year-old Tibetan man
Main challenges: In addition to PTSD and major depressive disorder, he suffered from sleep disturbances, nightmares, decreased energy, and feelings of despondency and helplessness.
Results: He reported enjoying the exercises and finding them relaxing. Additionally, he claimed that the exercises helped him learn to calm himself and increase his control over preventing external stimuli from triggering re-experiencing episodes.

Results: He reported enjoying the exercises and finding them relaxing. Additionally, he claimed that the exercises helped him learn to calm himself and increase his control over preventing external stimuli from triggering re-experiencing episodes.
Volunteer #2: 44-year-old man from Lebanon
Main Challenges: In addition to PTSD and major depressive disorder, he struggled with affect lability, nightmares, flashbacks, ruminating, hypervigilance, and anxiety.
Results: He reported that the exercises had a calming effect on him. He also reported a marked improvement in back and neck pain at the site of a torture-related injury where he often experienced pain in response to stressful psychological stimuli.
Volunteer #3: 23-year-old woman from Belarus
Main Challenges: PTSD and major depressive disorder
Results: She experienced slow but crucial improvements, with a decrease in flashbacks, less anxiety and stress, and an improvement in mood. She was open to trying the exercises and, even though she found them strange at first, came to enjoy the guided practice before and after psychotherapy sessions.
Volunteer #4: 47-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Main Challenges: PTSD and major depressive disorder
Results: He reported greatly enjoying the exercises, finding them to be soothing and helpful for managing his anxiety.
For each volunteer, Qigong practice became an important part of reconnecting with their bodies and their worlds in a safe way. They were able to relax more, became more introspective, and all reported significant improvement in their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, without a single negative effect from these practices.

These are just a few of the much-needed types of transformational healing that Wisdom Healing Qigong can support.
So, you can see why Master Mingtong Gu was so moved and inspired by the healing he experienced and saw all around him during his time at the Medicine-less Hospital.
It changed something in him.
This experience became so important to him that he stayed at the Medicine-less Hospital to study and become a Master of this life-changing healing system.
The profound healing that he experienced and witnessed there helped him find his purpose. He wanted to help make this accessible in other countries, and make Wisdom Healing Qigong available to everyone who needed it.

"I am not exaggerating when I say that since I began practicing Qigong, I feel I’ve gotten my life back. The difference is that it’s a more joy-filled and awake life than ever. One of Master Mingtong’s many gifts as a teacher is his ability to help students know and trust that chi can heal anything. Now, I also know that the chi can heal anything. I went to Qigong to heal from chronic illness. Now, grateful and much to my surprise, I am offering it to others who are ill. I also now teach Qigong to meditation students because it is such a powerful support for inner opening and clarity." –Debra Chamberlin-Taylor, LMFT, life coach, and Dharma Teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center

Dear Master Mingtong: Your explanation about abundance has never been more accurate. Since embarking on the Qigong odyssey I have almost never been sick, have even more energy, need less sleep, and seem, for the most part to have good mental acuity. I am 78 years old and feel the chi energy pour through the body energizing me everyday. Thank you for the gift of health, even through the time of a world health crisis.” –Linda B., Retired Artist

to an experience created especially for you
–4 absolutely magical days in New Mexico–
The Land of Enchantment.
This is a truly special event, designed specifically to support your joy, awakening,
energy, and so much more.
It’s an experience that can keep growing within you once you’re back home, running your business, your projects, and your family — and in the thick of the things that used to drain you.
energy, and so much more.
It’s an experience that can keep growing within you once you’re back home, running your business, your projects, and your family — and in the thick of the things that used to drain you.
During these 3 ½ sacred days of transformation, you’ll experience how:
The Wisdom Healing Qigong Paradigm
Enhances All Areas of Life
Enhances All Areas of Life
- Physical Health, Emotional Wellbeing, and Happiness
- Internal Power, Resilience, and Mental Capacity
- Wholeness, Peace, and a Sense of Fulfillment
- Mindful Awareness and Spiritual Awakening
- Longevity, Sustained Vital Energy, and Wisdom
Based on the proven effectiveness of Zhineng Wisdom Healing Qigong Retreats in China, The Chi Center Intensive Retreats allow you to directly access your inner medicine of mind, body, and heart through the ancient wisdom of energy practice.
√ Learn the movements, sounds, meditations, and visualizations of Wisdom Healing Qigong while engaging in intensive practice that releases blockages and opens you to deeper levels of physical, emotional, and energetic healing.
√ Develop a sustainable Wisdom Healing Qigong practice by getting the tools, support, and experience required for you to continue at home.
√ Experience group healing sessions with Master Mingtong Gu that will infuse you with healing energy.
√ Receive direct energetic transmissions that help you absorb and assimilate the powerful teachings into embodied wisdom, that informs and transforms you on a cellular level.
√ Enjoy personalized and loving support from a compassionate community and dedicated, experienced teachers.
√ Release your fixation on internal narratives and the symptoms of disease. When we disconnect mind from body, as most people do in everyday life, we risk delaying our own healing — or even creating new challenges to our wellbeing.
√ Learn beginning level Qigong Pure Consciousness practices that are unique in holding embodiment as a goal — as opposed to transcendence. In Wisdom Healing Qigong, awakening the mind and healing the body are not separate actions — they are interconnected and each supports the other. This makes Pure Consciousness practices ideal for direct, embodied physical healing as well as mental, emotional, and spiritual empowerment.
"We cultivate our own life energy through accessing nature’s great store of life energy (qi/chi). This approach produces quick results. But cultivating one’s chi is not the most fundamental; cultivating one’s spirit is. Mastery of chi is really achieved through mastery of consciousness. We use consciousness in a careful, craftsman-like way, to shape our life, to attain our goals. If we use modern terminology to name this process, we call it Qigong... in modern terms, Qigong is just the refinement of consciousness to enhance the state of energy in the body. This leads to vibrant health, a harmonious body and mind, and awakened spiritual life.” — Dr. Ming Pang, creator of Zhineng Qigong

Your Retreat Experience Will Include:
GENTLE & ENLIVENING MOVEMENT AND EMBODIMENT PRACTICES
We’ll start each day's session with a short meditation (called setting the chi field), followed by Master Mingtong teaching you simple movement practices that relax your mind and body to generate more powerful healing and awakening effects. Then we'll continue working together as a group in the beautiful round Lotus Flower Kiva and/or our geodesic Compassion Dome. Your day will include teachings, transmissions, sound healing technologies, and gentle movement practices.
SOUND HEALING TO OPEN YOUR HEART & EMOTIONAL ENERGY
You will learn and practice intensive Sound Healing for the 5 organ systems. Sacred healing sounds work to release the stress we all feel — which is often primarily emotional stress locked in the cellular memory of our organs. By healing these emotional contractions of energy, you empower yourself to heal and awaken on every level of your life.
Sound Healing is a deeply empowering practice. Anybody can do it.
You don’t need to know how to play musical instrument, you don’t need a strong voice, and you don’t need any special healing skills. You simply join in making the healing sounds and experience the sounds and energy around you.
Sound is an energetic vibration that can awaken your heart, your organs, your consciousness, and your cells – to facilitate deep healing and transformation on all levels from the physical to the emotional and spiritual.
Master Mingtong will teach you the Sound Healing techniques that are normally shared with Level 3 practitioners of Wisdom Healing Qigong. Advanced toning techniques benefit the brain, spinal cord, nerves, joints, muscles, and tendons — as well as awaken your consciousness.
Even if you’re a complete beginner, you can learn these techniques with step-by-step guidance. And, there will be plenty of breaks to allow you to assimilate.
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS PRACTICE TO CONNECT TO ESSENCE
Continuing the progress you’ve made in Sound Healing and Movement practices, Master Mingtong will introduce you to the beautiful practice of Lift Chi Up & Pour Chi Down, plus beginning Pure Consciousness practices.
This will be the one of the rare times both these practice forms are shared with the general public — the teachings were previously only available within the Zhineng Qigong Master training program in China.
By combining these practices with the energetic charge of our sacred location, plus the collective energy field of the group... the entire weekend will become a supercharged experience of healing and spiritual awakening!
SMALL GROUP REFLECTION & INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES
The power of small groups is priceless and immeasurable. You will be invited to join a small group of 6-8 like-minded people to share, connect, and support each other. Your group will be provided study questions and a powerful template that is used during all Wisdom Healing Qigong Intensive Retreats.
END-OF-THE-DAY GROUP HEALING SESSIONS
One of the most popular features during our Healing Intensive Retreats are the Healing Sessions, led by Master Mingtong Gu, just before bedtime. Retreat attendees are invited to get comfortable, lying down with mats, pillows, and blankets in a dimly lit room. They are invited into a state of deep relaxed awareness in order to move energy in the room (and beyond!) through a collaborative process within the local and non-local chi field.
During the healing session, Master Mingtong activates the Wisdom Healing Qigong energetic flow through a combination of English, Chinese, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. The participants also engage in their own process of mindful intention — to help absorb, assimilate, and activate healing and transformation on a cellular level.
The healing energy transmission that flows through Master Mingtong and the chi field is connected to the energy that makes up your intention. That connection activates deep openings of energetic blockages and stimulates the awakening of aliveness in the body. This is the essence of inner medicine and the Healing Session.

Your Wisdom Healing Qigong Retreat Will Be Led Exclusively By Master Mingtong Gu
In these changing times, many people are realizing that they feel disconnected, uncertain about the future, and frequently under pressure.
It’s hard to set your best intentions and work diligently to accomplish them, when your life feels incomplete in a way you can’t quite describe (but can’t ignore, either).
Perhaps for you, as for many others, this experience of “something missing” has already gone further — leading to stress-related illness, lowered immune response, accelerated aging, and feelings of isolation, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or exhaustion.
The root cause is the same for all of these problems:
When we are not continuously in touch with the natural energy surrounding us and inside us, then we struggle to experience the higher levels of consciousness that empower us to improve our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
The solution for all of those problems is also the same: The practices of Wisdom Healing Qigong that release blocked energy and include Pure Consciousness and Essence teachings.
These ancient teachings help you develop the capacity to accept and transform any aspect of your life. This is possible because everything you need is already within you, waiting to be awakened.
At the core of all existence is pure, infinite Essence, beyond the physical realm and beyond the limits of intellectual understanding. Consciousness practices are a path to connect with and awaken to your Essence.
Through Wisdom Healing Qigong practices, you will open your perceptions to experiences of embodied wisdom, energetic connection, and conscious healing. You’ll be able to set specific intentions that resonate with your heart, mind, and spirit… and know that you will fulfill those intentions with grace this year and beyond.
Life's most challenging times can also be the most important opportunities to re-create yourself and your life with new energy, wisdom, love, and joy.
Wisdom Healing Qigong may be right for you, if you...
• experience ongoing emotional and mental stress around relationships, health, work, and challenging events in the world
• suffer from a loss of connection, or a loss of purpose and meaning due to life circumstances
• feel hopeless and depressed because the happiness you've longed for continues to elude you
• yearn to heal emotional wounds from loss, stress, or trauma, and release old life-limiting patterns
• continue to experience health challenges, fatigue, or stress, in spite of all the treatments you've tried — including allopathic or integrative medicine, diet, or exercise
• long for deep and fulfilling relationships with your partner, family, friends, and others — or dream about attracting new relationships and new connections in this time of isolation
• hunger for more spiritual connection and inspiration — especially during challenging times
The Chi Center:
A Beautiful Venue
In The Land Of Enchantment
A Beautiful Venue
In The Land Of Enchantment
The Chi Center is located in the majestic high desert of Central New Mexico, USA, just 20 minutes South of Santa Fe in the beautiful Galisteo Basin.
This beautiful 150-acre property boasts breathtaking views of New Mexico’s landscape, the dazzling sunrises and sunsets over the surrounding mountains, and expansive and true darkness that reveals the Milky Way on the many clear nights. As soon as you arrive you can feel the same sacred healing energy of the land that the native people of this area have been feeling for thousands of years.
Retreats are held in the beautiful circular building which replicates traditional ceremonial kivas, set into the earth. The main lodge features six fireplaces, and the grounds include two labyrinths, outdoor fireplaces, fountains, a pond with a waterfall and paths for reflection and hiking.

“This is a place where heaven and earth truly meet within you and around you.”
The Compassion Dome - The Perfect Space for Celebration, Ceremony, and Community
Widely acknowledged as a perfect universal shape, the spherical structure of a geodesic dome creates an ideal interior atmosphere for working with energy, blessings, and visualizations. It's a purposeful space that's rooted in the ancient science of sacred geometry where every aspect of design has a meaning that correlates to mathematics and metaphysics. It's the perfect stage for daytime and night-time events, dance parties, and large group gatherings, too.
The dome structure is formed using sacred geometry — the synthesis of the modern scientific and the intuitive artistic dimension of geometry. It's built with a series of straight lines on a curved space that intersect to form triangles. Because of its shape and construction air, sound, and energy circulate without obstruction. This enables temperature regulation to occur naturally and assists in feelings of inner peace and a sense of connection to your natural rhythms for gaining clarity and insight. When inside the dome you'll experience a dual feeling of wide-open spaciousness combined with a sense of solidity and grounding.

"The Chi Center for Wisdom Healing Qigong is a one-of-a-kind place for people to come together and truly dedicate themselves to what is important — their physical health, their emotional wellbeing , plus their deeper capacity as human beings ... including their creativity. A Chi Center Retreat is a very clear, dedicated, concentrated, and intense place for Wisdom Healing Qigong practice.
"The Center's main room for practice is called a Kiva, which is the traditional name for a place for ceremony. And, more importantly, it's a place to have an experience of an energy portal that really represents the nature of our work together. Sixty-feet in diameter, it is supported by an amazing sacred geometry architecture — half in the ground and half above the ground. The entire 150-acre Retreat Center is surrounded by the magical skies of The Land of Enchantment." –Master Mingtong Gu

“Wisdom Healing Qigong is exactly what I've been looking for for a very long time! I'm familiar with moving energy, but not like this! As for the physical healing aspect, I noticed improvement within 2 weeks and didn't even know it was happening. After 5 weeks I could tell that my lymphoedema is a bit less and my food cravings have nearly gone away. I look forward to all of the spiritual, mental, and physical healing in the coming years! Haola!” -Barbara D.

“I have completed 50 days and have noticed wonderful changes! At first, I had very busy dreams and was remembering things from my past that I was seeing in new ways. OCH!
Then I looked around my house and needed to purge. Even paintings I loved before, I just needed to get rid and update. I also feel a quiet joy during the day. In these dark times, I know this too will pass. We aren't the first people to experience division and fear.
I am seeing past actions and understand why I did things. It has made me more compassionate towards others. In our busy lives, we all blindly react without understanding why or the effect it will have them on others.
I look forward to the next 50 days and beyond... and all the changes they will bring." -M.L.
“When I started practicing with Master Mingtong Gu I was going through a very challenging time in my life and was experiencing a lot of fear and anxiety which was having a very negative effect on my day to day wellbeing. After a short time of practice the fear and anxiety dissipated and my sense of mental equilibrium and physical well-being returned with my confidence to face any challenges that might arise.” -Tom, Ireland

What is Wisdom Healing Qigong?
QIGONG is a practice, a technology, and an art that applies ancient wisdom, modern science, and the mind’s creative power to transform our lives from dis-ease to health and well-being.
It's a direct and powerful technology to tap into the infinite source of energy — the same energy in the Milky Way — and use this infinite source to transform our physical and psychological conditions for a better, more balanced life.
HEALING is the application and benefit of awakening consciousness and wisdom when we work with energy as the foundational substance of the creative living universe within and around us.
True healing addresses the deepest causes of disease and life's problems beyond simply fixing the symptoms. It requires practice to become aware of and change the limited patterns of mind, body, and heart and to then address those energetic conditions. The result is improvement of health and wellbeing, including the transformation of chronic illness for both the long and short term. Healing also seeks – quite naturally – the deep transformation of the whole person, by realizing the whole unified harmony of the individual within and in relationship to the multi-dimensional unity of all life.
WISDOM is the understanding that arises from an awakening of our perception and consciousness of life. Ultimate wisdom is the ability to know and embody the creative source of the living universe, moment-to-moment. It is our conscious capacity to fully participate in the continuous dance of evolving creation.
WISDOM HEALING QIGONG is a Western expression of the most validated effective form of Qigong, cultivated and refined by Master Mingtong Gu. Its foundations stem from the practice of Zhineng Qigong, founded by Master Mingtong's revered and beloved teacher in China, Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.
Qigong is the cosmology (theory) and technology (art) for consciousness to work with creative energy (chi). It is a creative union of consciousness and energy, which awakens the joy-full wisdom capacity of mind, heart, and body.
