Workshop Testimonials

"This was my first time trying Qigong. Rhea (the wonderful instructor) is incredibly adept at teaching and building the fundamentals for this practice, especially to someone like me who knew nothing about it. I felt like I had the right amount of guidance and room to explore the art, and Rhea continuously expressed her support and encouragement throughout the entire class. I now have a much better understanding of Qigong and feel as though I have learned something invaluable. Thank you so much for the opportunity to grow!"

"The class was fun, but held a great well of wisdom, and Rhea smoothly shows the way to a greater understanding of ourselves and our world."

"I have limited mobility and was a bit concerned that the class would be too physical for me to participate. Rhea was able to put me at ease and would encourage me to do what felt right for me and my body. She not only knows the content of the course but treats all participants with gentle kindness and warmth."
