Qigong for Awakening
Autumn is the time when the sap of the trees settles into the interior, sinking down toward the roots. It is time to eliminate what is unnecessary, storing only what is needed for winter.
You're Invited...
To join our 8-week transformational and self-healing journey with Qigong for Autumn. We will connect with our breath, strengthen our immune systems, and fortify our emotional well-being.
Autumn is the time of the great reveal. It is time to release what no longer serves our highest good. By releasing the excess in our lives, we stand in our value and can clearly discern what is necessary and what must go.
With love and grace, we grieve and forgive. With each breath, we create space in our bodies and hold things lightly as we spread our wings and fly with the White Crain.
Why this journey...
-
Are you ready to prioritize your health and boost your immune system?
-
Do you want to channel healing energy through your hands and become your own energy healer?
-
Do you want a simple energy work practice you can tailor to suit your needs?
-
Are you ready to process your grief in a safe and gentle way?
-
Do you want a proven method to clear stress and anxiety out of your energy system?
-
Are you ready to have truly healthy boundaries that are not barriers but points of connection?
Why Qigong?
Qi means life force energy, and Gong means work or skill. So Qigong means working skillfully with life force energy.
Qigong emerged from the Tao (the fertile void of the Great Mother), is rooted in ancient Taoist shamanism, and is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Practicing Qigong connects you to the abundant life force energy all around you and within you.
This journey offers you a resting place and a recharging station for you to stay connected to all your resources during times of transition and change.
Qigong is not just another thing that you are adding to your plate...
It's a wellspring that will fill you up each and every week!
The Metal Element
Metal is as austere as a vast arid plain before winter rains, as sharp as a high mountain peak slicing through the mist into a clear empty sky.
Receive The Gifts Of The Metal Element This Autumn
In this Online 8-Week Qigong for Autumn workshop, I will share powerful Qigong practices designed to cultivate Metal and Lung Qi. The breathing exercises not only boost your immune system, fortifying your energy for the colder winter months, but they also support you as you let go of stagnant sadness in your body.
Since The Metal Element and lungs are associated with autumn, the combination of breathing practices, flowing movements, and standing postures are here to support you in receiving the gifts of the season with your whole body, mind, and spirit.
This workshop is for you whether you are interested in processing grief, boosting your immune system, or experiencing greater discernment and clarity in your life. Qigong for Autumn offers empowering practices to help you on your journey.

Midwife, Herbalist, Qigong Practitioner, and Temple Guide
Maria Chowdhury
My twenty years as a homebirth midwife, herbalist, meditator, and martial artist have prepared me to hold potent medicine and sacred space.
Currently, I midwife spiritual women in the midst of powerful life transitions and support them to navigate the trail ahead to stay aligned with their essence and connect to their power even in times of uncertainty and confusion.
As a temple guide, I hold sacred space for the extraordinary and arduous experience of birth and transformation to unfold safely and organically.
During this journey, I’m bringing forth the teachings of my mentor, Teresa Elder who taught me how to “be” a midwife with a smile and a light heart full of humor.
My mentor, Dr. Claire Zammit, who taught me the Feminine Power framework, and Elayne Kalila of Priestess Presence, showed me how to walk as a temple guide in the modern world.
Finally, my beloved taiji and qigong teachers from YMAA who taught me the art and practice of Medical Qigong. And Holden Qigong for teaching me The Five Elements, Buddha Palm, Swimming Dragon, and Taoist cosmology.
The Path with Harmony sanctuary is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is directly on the Trail of Tears that the Cherokee walked.
My daily hikes are on the earth path of Mount Kessler, the ancestral lands of the Caddo and Osage peoples, and I intend to honor them, their sacred lands, and medicine.
