About the Workshop

Did you know that in Qigong, your ethereal soul—known as the Hun—flourishes during spring? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Hun resides in the Liver and supports your vision, creativity, and ability to take action. The Hun is governed by the Wood Element, which, like a great tree, spreads its branches toward the sky, seeking expansion and growth. When Liver Qi flows freely, we feel inspired, confident, and connected to our higher purpose. However, when Liver energy becomes stagnant, we may experience frustration, indecision, and a lack of direction.

Spring is the optimal season to balance this energy and awaken your highest potential. This year’s Lunar Year of the Wood Snake amplifies the energy of growth and transformation, offering a potent moment to align with the natural forces of renewal, creativity, and personal empowerment.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Hun is the aspect of the soul that governs vision, creativity, and our ability to move forward in life. It is rooted in the Liver, which, like a great tree, spreads its branches toward the sky, seeking expansion and growth. When the Liver Qi flows freely, we feel inspired, confident, and connected to our higher purpose. However, if the Liver becomes stagnant, we may experience frustration, indecision, and a lack of direction.

In this 2.5-hour workshop, you will explore the meaning of the soul in Daoism along with Qigong flows designed to cleanse and nourish the Liver, support the Hun, and awaken your inner dragon—a symbol of personal power and effortless flow. Through breathwork, dynamic
spiraling movements, and meditative intention, you will learn how to cultivate smooth and abundant Qi, allowing you to feel more vibrant, emotionally balanced, and energetically aligned with the season’s growth energy. Come prepared to move, breathe, and rise into the
Soul of Spring!

What You'll Learn:

  • Liver Detoxification: Engage in Qigong exercises specifically designed to cleanse the Liver, enhancing the body's natural detoxification processes.

  • Nourish your Hun Soul: Explore the philosophy of the Soul in Qigong and learn techniques to nourish the Hun, fostering vision, creativity, focus and a clear sense of direction in line with your higher self.

    Meet your inner Dragon: Practice fluid, spiraling dragon forms to circulate Liver Qi and embody the empowering energy of the dragon.

  • Emotional Balance: Learn methods to harmonize emotions associated with the Liver, such as anger and frustration, promoting inner peace.

    Seasonal Alignment: Align your personal energy with the spring season and the Year of the Wood Snake, supporting a harmonious transition and renewed vitality.
