New Year's Retreat

Wild Goose-11 (Self-Cultivation Qigong)


December 27-31, 2016



Join Dr. Bingkun Hu for a week of rejuvenating Wild Goose Qigong and nourishing meditation. Cleanse out your unhealthy energy and release your negative emotions. Replenish your body and mind with fresh and vibrating energy, and get ready to usher in the New Year with self-confidence, enthusiasm, and optimism.

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to improve your Wild Goose performance and to learn the self-healing Wild Goose practices in a lovely, close-to-nature setting, conveniently located in the quiet town of Kensington, just bordering Berkeley; from a highly qualified master, at a very affordable price.


Five Days of Wild Goose

Wild Goose Qigong is a complete healing system. During the past several years, we have focused much attention on how to learn Wild Goose movement. Starting from this New Year Retreat, we will gradually teach how to add more awareness into our Wild Goose movements. To make our transition smooth, we will use Wild Goose-11 or Self-Cultivation Qigong as our "textbook". We will also learn "Tracing the 12 Meridians" Qigong.


Six+ Hours of Wild Goose Each Day

Enjoy a full 30 hours of instruction with Dr. Hu. We will meet from 9:30am to 5:30pm each day with a leisurely break for lunch, except on the last day, Dec. 31, when we will conclude our retreat at 3pm.


What is Wild Goose 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, using flowing movement, bagua steps, mudras and imagery to induce our qi to circulate through our entire body as well as go beyond to connect to heaven and earth energy.


Why Do We Learn Wild Goose 11 (Self-Cultivation Qigong) Again This Year?

Last year, we concentrated on training our "whole body movements". This year, we will also explain the functions of the mudras.

Last year, we tried to open up our crown and the K-1 acu-point at the bottom of our feet. This year, we will start to teach how to apply these techniques to purify our Qi (or to make "Hun Yuan" Qi).

Last year, we analyzed single Qigong "sentences". This year, we will try to analyze longer Qigong "paragraphs".

Last year, we discussed the Qi movements inside our body. This year we will start teaching how to open parts of our body so that we can interact with the outside universe.


What is "Sensory-Motor Awareness" and How to Learn It?

Each set of Wild Goose Qigong consists of movements, breathing and awareness. There are several kinds of awareness in Wild Goose Qigong. For teaching purposes in this retreat, we will only pick out "sensory-motor awareness" contained in Wild Goose-11 to analyze and study.


What is "Tracing the 12 Meridians" and Why Should We Learn It?

Whenever we physically move any part of our body, we naturally stimulate the Qi flow in at least one or more related meridian lines. Practicing "Tracing the 12 Meridians" qigong can facilitate being able to locate the position of each main meridian in our body, and can also help us understand their relationship. This traditional Qigong practice has many health benefits. For beginners, it can:

1) Make your Qigong movements much smoother and flexible.
2) Change your concept that Wild Goose Qigong is a self-healing tool into a tangible reality.



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.
