A Personal Invitation from Our Founder
I’m Dr. David Stokes Hone, and I believe your greatest teacher lives within you. I was guided to create this institute so that you can fully access expert instruction, heartfelt mentorship, and time‑tested techniques—empowering you to rise personally, as a healer, as a guide, and as a steward of wellbeing.
Our Mission
At Elements of Life Institute, we offer transformational training that unites Chinese energetic medicine with universal contemplative and spiritual wisdom to cultivate alignment of body, mind, and spirit. Through our programs in medical QiGong, self‑cultivation practices, universal spiritual disciplines, and traditional nutritional approaches, we guide students to develop clarity, integrity, and the capacity to serve others with compassionate, skillful care.
Our Vision
To serve as a beacon of holistic education, uniting ancient energy arts with modern insights to foster harmony of body, mind, and spirit in everyday life.
Our Story
At Elements of Life Institute, we believe healing is a journey of integration — body, energy, and spirit working in harmony. Founded by Dr. David Stokes Hone, the Institute is the result of decades of study, clinical experience, and spiritual exploration in classical Chinese Energetic Medicine, natural healing, and the deeper mysteries of personal transformation.
Our roots lie in honoring time-tested traditions while embracing modern insights. Through our unique MoLian Qigong system and an extensive curriculum that ranges from foundational courses to advanced training, we empower students to awaken their own innate healing abilities and become instruments of balance in the world around them.
We are more than a school. We are a community of seekers, practitioners, and guides — each committed to cultivating wisdom, compassion, and vitality. Whether you're here to deepen your personal path or pursue certification in the healing arts, the Elements of Life Institute is a sacred space for true learning, real healing, and meaningful service.
We believe that every person has the power to heal themselves, connect with something greater, and step into their fullest potential—physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Whether you’re curious about improving your daily well-being or ready to embark on a professional journey in energy medicine, our community welcomes you with open arms.
