Hui Gong: Healing for the Heart with Dr. Liu Dong
January 31 – February 1, 2009
Explore Hui Gong ( Wisdom Qigong) a Taoist style practice. Its function is to develop wisdom and to bring out human potential. This practice has been handed down for over 2,000 years and has recently been used by TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) physicians. This form focuses on bringing the mind-heart to tranquility through cleansing. It uses the method of one thought replacing the train of many thoughts by using the mind to guide qi through the five solid organs. The goal of this practice is to wake up the spirits within the five organs and to make all these spirits recover their full functions and gain back their natural rhythms – this is its self-healing power!
From Dr. Liu Dong’s many years of clinical practice and the teaching of this form to his patients, he has found that this practice is very effective in healing mental nervousness, forgetfulness/amnesia, difficulty to focus, etc. Practicing this form can readjust and promote the primary essence that is the pre-immunity. In this way it also helps in healing all types of allergies. To register, visit www.linggui.org.

Wilderness Qi Dao Retreat
September 5-6, 2009
The Labor Day weekend is often the most popular camping weekend of the year in America, which makes it almost impossible to find a campsite large enough for groups anywhere, except the Oregon Coast. We are planning on camping at a secluded site situated on a rocky peninsula that juts into the ocean with 300 foot cliffs overlooking the azure waters of the Pacific. It is surrounded with some old-growth forest chockfull of blueberries, huckleberries, salal, Oregon grapes, and other wild delicacies.
Wherever you live, you are welcome to join us for this unforgettable event. It is going to provide you an invigorating immersion experience integrating Shamanic Qigong practices with the healing powers of nature. Bring your fears, attachments and old beliefs to let go of in the wilderness. Come prepared for moderate hiking and more intimate connection with Mother Earth through the practice of Qi Dao outdoors.
We have to limit our groups to maximum eight people in order to keep the campsite from overcrowding. The trek from the parking lot is relatively short (under two miles) but steep, which probably prevents those who are not in shape from camping there. You are advised to have a pair of decent backpacking boots and camping gear, including a tent, sleeping bag and pad, etc. Make sure that you are fit enough to carry all your gear, food and water on your shoulders for a couple of miles uphill.
To register, please email academy(at)qidao.org to reserve your spot ASAP. The fee is $350, but you can secure your spot by depositing just $100. The balance must be paid by August 31. If you register by July 31, you will receive an “early bird” bonus material – an autographed copy of my bestselling book Qi Dao – Tibetan Shamanic Qigong: The Art of Being in the Flow. If you pay the registration fee in full by August 15, Lama Tantrapa will offer you a phone coaching session (valued at $150) as an extra bonus.
