Prerequisites: None
Instruction Time: 8 Hours/Day, 3 Days
- Do you ever feel like traditional energy practices don’t quite resonate with your experience as a woman?
- How does your body communicate with you, and how often do you listen?
- What does the “sacred feminine” mean to you, and how do you embody it in daily life?
Most qigong practices are rooted in male energy anatomy, overlooking women's unique energetic flow. This course restores feminine qigong, reconnecting women to their power, intuition, and natural rhythms. Through guided practices, participants will awaken vitality, deepen self-connection, and embrace the sacred feminine in a transformative way.
