Five Days of Wild Goose

Enjoy six hours of instruction with Dr. Hu each day, with three hours in the morning, a leisurely break, and then three more hours in the afternoon. Sessions will begin at 9:30am on the morning of Dec. 27, and finish at 5:30 pm., except on the last day, Dec. 31, we will conclude our retreat at 3pm.


Six Hours of Wild Goose Each Day

Wild Goose Qigong and Meditation is a complete healing system. Well known for its lovely and graceful movements that suggest the image of an innocent and carefree goose, it is one of the most popular Medical Qigong systems for self-healing and Qigong therapy. In this New Year's retreat, we are going to be learning Wild Goose-11 (Self-Cultivation Qigong).


What is WG-11 (Self-Cultivation Qigong)?

As an advanced Qigong in the Wild Goose system, WG-11 is designed to cultivate perfect health, both physically and mentally, including cultivating our potential Qigong abilities, such as: “Opening of our Third Eye”, Experience “oneness with the Divine Universe”, and the ability to purify the “Huen Yuan Qi (the mixed Qi)”.


Why do we learn WG-11 at this time?

This Qigong can be learned for different reasons and for different levels of learners. Our teaching at this time is geared to the broad Wild Goose Qigong lovers. Anyone who has learned one or two sets of Wild Goose Qigong is welcome to come and learn the basics of WG-11. It may be surprising to you that most of the basic techniques you have learned in Wild Goose-1 can still be applied to WG-11. So long as you can keep the key words “meditation in motion” in mind, are quiet and always make your body comfortable, I can assure you that you will enjoy the practice of WG-11.


What are we going to learn from WG-11?

- Learn “meditation in motion” in order to nourish our Qi;
- Use specific mudras (positioning of fingers) to quiet down ourselves;
- Practice the gentle and expanding “reverse abdominal breathing”;
- Create “center-periphery movements” for permeating our Qi all over the body;
- Feel the “Qi-shower” sensation which can melt down the “body armor” we have created for self-protection;
- Enjoy the “inner blissfulness” while absorbing the Heaven and the Earth energy.


The structure of Self-Cultivation Qigong

This Qigong can be divided into 9 sections:
1) Stretching out our body;
2) Opening up our chest;
3) Training our lower dan-tian;
4) Winding path;
5) Endless walking toward Heaven;
6) A trip to Heaven;
7) Salute to Buddhas & Taoists;
8) Purifying “Huen Yuen Qi” (mixed Qi);
9) Return to the Earth.



Certificate for completion of 30 contact hours will be provided for those who have joined or who are planning to join the Wild Goose Teacher’s Training Program.
