I teach Qigong and nature meditation, two practices that, for me, have always belonged together.
Qigong means something like “the exercises of harmony between nature and human.” When I move, I’m not just moving my body. I’m orienting toward the mountain, the cloud, the crane. There is a long tradition behind this — including the Awake in the Wild lineage I trained in — and it still works. Perhaps now more than ever.
Much of my teaching happens outdoors. Rain included. We slow down, use all our senses, and let the landscape become part of the practice. What begins as relaxation often opens into something deeper: a felt sense of belonging to the living world.
I’ve been exploring this territory for years, and I’m still learning. Especially this: how inner awareness and outer care can be part of the same movement.
