An 8-week Transformational Qigong Journey

Does autumn feel busier and more stressful, rather than a season for slowing down, leaving you drained, prone to illness, and struggling to stay clear?
In autumn, our lungs and immunity weaken, time speeds up, and the weight of grief or overwhelm can cloud our clarity.
Qigong with The White Crane helps you activate your Guardian Qi- your natural protection, allowing you to breathe deeply, strengthen your body, release sorrow, develop healthy boundaries, gain a higher perspective on life, and navigate through chaos with integrity and grace.
Shedding Leaves & Strengthening Roots
"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."
- Between Heaven and Earth
You're Invited...
To join our 8-week transformational and self-healing journey with Qigong for Autumn to activate our Guardian Qi. We will connect with our breath, strengthen our immune systems, and fortify our mental and 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.

Are you ready to prioritize your health and boost your immune system?
-

Why Qigong?
Qi means life force energy, and Gong means work or skill. So Qigong means working skillfully with life force energy. Or working skillfully with life.
Qigong emerged from the Tao (the way of nature), is rooted in ancient Taoist shamanism, and is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Practicing Qigong as a longevity practice connects you to the abundant life force energy all around you and within you. Enabling you to live a healthy, vibrant life.
This journey offers you a resting place and a recharging station for you to stay connected to all your resources during times of great chaos, transition, and uncertainty.
Qigong practice is not just another thing to add to your plate...
It's a wellspring that fills you up each and every week!
The Metal Element
"The Metal element "has to do with our spirituality. It is the place we choose to find our connection with all of life. When we tend to the precious metal within us, it comes forward as inner strength that shines bright for all to witness."
- Regina M Powers

Meet Your Guide
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 people 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.
