Most of my life, I’ve explored pathways to greater authenticity, healing, and freedom. I was recently encouraged to share regular blogs – which I hope you find uplifting, useful, and far easier to digest than previous newsletters. The rhythm of every other week feels good ‘for now’. I am very interested in your feedback, including what topics you’d like me to cover. Please let me know!
I’ve received comments like: ‘Why Qigong for Women’s Health’? It was a long, winding road to this class series. Since becoming a certified SFQ master healer and instructor, I’ve shared healing qigong movements, breathwork, and meditations with individuals of all ages, genders, and groups of all sizes from widely varied backgrounds. I also created and led healing workshops and retreats in a myriad of settings in North America. The events focused upon women were exceptionally well received. I have witnessed countless qigong success stories!
In January of 2016, I offered regular Qigong for Your Health classes in Minneapolis. I was delighted by the truly wonderful group of regular attendees – women and men – sustaining the weekly series.
In April of 2020, online qigong classes helped to keep our rhythm of healing in community, and it still allows us to connect wherever in the world we are. Men were always in the minority at holistic healing classes I’ve taken and given. It still puzzled me when men stopped attending shortly after our change to virtual wellness programs. We missed the guys – watched and waited – even reached out. For over 18 months not one man returned or enrolled. Last fall we fully embraced the power and joy of women gathering to share our stories, hearts, and qigong healing practice in a trusting, open space. Qigong for Women’s Health it is! It is my honor to continue this tradition every Monday morning with amazing women from 23-88. It’s so uplifting, I may have to continue until I’m 88 – please join us and see!
Of course, I would love to share the benefits of qigong with everybody! I would be so pleased to add ‘on demand’ sessions for gendered and nonbinary people, couples, corporations, nonprofits, and other organizations. I used to often say, “Have Qi: Will Travel!” These days it is easy to go anywhere without ever leaving town. If you know a group that would like to connect regularly on Zoom – or host a location in the Twin Cities area to embrace Positively Healing! with ‘Rhonda The Wonder Horse’, please contact me.
