Join us for the NQA 2025 Annual Conference, where Qigong practitioners, teachers, and enthusiasts come together to explore the power of movement, energy, and connection. This year’s theme, "Harmony in Motion," embraces the dance of Yin and Yang, a rhythm of contrast and unity that flows through all aspects of life. Like the dragon and phoenix, these forces intertwine—creating the potential for transformation and growth.
With 18 dynamic presentations led by a mix of beloved returning speakers and exciting new voices, this conference promises an enriching experience for all levels. Whether you're here to refine your skills, connect with fellow practitioners, or gain fresh insights, you'll find inspiration and wisdom throughout this unforgettable event.
Expect a rich diversity of teachings that blend traditional practices with fresh perspectives, offering something for everyone—from beginner to advanced practitioners. Click on any presenter's picture below to watch a video about their session and get a preview of what they’ll be sharing!
Unwind and connect at our Pre-Conference Social! Enjoy a warm welcome with tea and appetizers before exploring the beautiful gardens at your leisure. We’ll gather for a special calligraphy session with Lorelei Chang, accompanied by the soothing guitar of Mark Reinhart. After more time to mingle, we’ll conclude the evening with a refreshing Qigong practice.
The NQA Annual Conference is an experiential gathering with a wide variety of Qigong practices, insights, and discussions. Each session is unique—some will have you actively practicing Qigong, while others will explore its deeper theories. You’ll have the freedom to choose which sessions resonate with you, selecting from a diverse lineup of presenters.
Beyond the sessions, there’s plenty of time to connect with fellow attendees, share experiences, and build lasting relationships within the Qigong community.
