CBD 2022: Internal Alchemy Qigong: A Practical Introduction to the Cultivation of Qi with Heiner Fruehauf, PhD

The exercise sequence will consist of two simple movement practices, followed by a sitting meditation.

Dr. Fruehauf also is delivering a lecture titled, "The History of Qi" on Friday, Oct. 28 at 4:30pm. Register for that lecture here.  The lecture and workshop are part of Stanford's Contemplation by Design Summit.

He lectures in North America, Europe and China, and has authored a wide variety of articles and textbooks in the field of Chinese medicine. His interest in preserving some of the traditional features of East Asian medicine led him to develop a database dedicated to the archiving of classical knowledge, where a selection of his publications can be accessed (ClassicalChineseMedicine.org). His strong belief in the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine led him to found The Healing Order, a wellness center in the Columbia River Gorge specializing in the holistic treatment of difficult and recalcitrant diseases.
