This qigong healing retreat will help you feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually. You will be guided through several healing meditations and group healings. You will also learn simple qigong movement and meditation techniques that you can practice every day for health, longevity, and spiritual growth.
Qigong can help you heal any type of challenge – a broken heart, arthritis, cancer, or back pain. Maybe you just know you could feel a little better or are interested in preventive health. This is a gentle, nurturing retreat and all movements can be adapted for comfort, energy level, and ability. This retreat will help you re-set your energy, connect with the calm and peace that can be so hard to find, and make feeling better not only possible but even something you can share with others.
In addition to the group healings and meditations, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to Spring Forest Qigong, that grounds you firmly in the tradition of qigong and helps you understand the mystery and secrets of Qigong Healing. You will receive a certificate for completing of Spring Forest Qigong Level One – Qi Activation Training.

Your Guide for the Journey
My name is Emily Jarrett Hughes and I am a healer, teacher, dancer, and mother living in Minneapolis. The vitality and joy I find in Spring Forest Qigong were a lifeline through a major health crisis and are the inspiration for my teaching and healing practice. I have studied Spring Forest Qigong since 2006, completing Level 5, and am a Certified Instructor and Healer – the highest level of certification and study possible. I have a healing practice and also lead a weekly drop-in qigong practice group. In addition to qigong, I teach dance as a tool for healing and transformation. Everything that I do leans into the interrelationship between healing ourselves, healing the water, and healing the world. I have taught hundreds of classes and helped hundreds of people with healing. I love seeing my students and clients strengthen their connection with body, mind and spirit and unlock their capacity to live vibrant, courageous lives.
