8 Week Journey

Are your perimenopausal symptoms affecting your ability to enjoy your life?
Do you intuitively sense that there is a more holistic way to navigate this significant phase of your life but are unsure of how to tap into it?
Are you interested in understanding how the moon, qigong and herbal remedies can provide support during perimenopause?
You are invited to...
Harness the combined power and growth of Spring Qigong with the cyclical wisdom and transformation of the lunar phases into a phenomenal Swimming Dragon Qigong practice for women!
This is a rare opportunity to practice an art that has been hidden in temples and is now ready to be revealed.
Spring Qigong will amplify your ability to manifest your desires.
It will support you to find your center, stand in your power, and focus your energy.
It will enhance your health and vitality so you can live life on your own terms.
This is a path of longevity, resiliency, abundance, and manifestation so you can bring specific and tangible results into your life.
Lunar Qigong for Women
Synchronizing your Qigong practice with the lunar phases will exponentially harmonize your entire life.
Your menstrual cycles will become more regular. You will know how to work with the energy of your body as it mirrors the greater forces, so you are working with nature and your body rather than against it.
If you are no longer menstruating, this practice is for you because, in menopause, you still have a feminine cycle that needs to be in sync with nature. In Qigong, we refer to menopause as your second spring.
Do you feel like?...
-
Your body and hormones are changing.
-
You are experiencing perimenopause symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, PMS, and insomnia.
-
You are in a major life and identity change.
-
Your weight, joints, energy, mood, libido, mind, and spirit need support and attention.
-
You have to manage your energy and easily feel tired, rundown, stressed, or overstimulated.
- Your emotions get out of hand, and you are often frustrated, angry, and even rageful.
-
You crave connection with other spiritually awakening people.
-
To have a sacred energy arts practice that is practical and grounded.
-
You are in a process of change and there is wisdom inside you that you just haven't been able to access yet.
That's why I'm inviting you to the woman's wisdom practice:
Spring Qigong To Let the Dragon Carry You!
So you can sync your feminine cycle with the lunar cycles to reclaim lost power and focus it on manifesting your desires for a healthy life filled with connection, abundance, love, beauty, joy, wisdom, peace, and grace!
This is a one-of-a-kind 8-week experiential, embodied, transformative Qigong journey with an intimate group of spiritual people who are committed to their growth and conscious evolution.
What is a Qigong journey?
Qigong is an ancient sacred energy work and embodiment practice. It eases stress and increases the flow state.
This simple practice consists of mindful, physical movements coordinated with your breath to induce a peaceful and vibrant feeling in your body and a focused mind.
When you are in the flow state, your mood shifts, hormones balance, muscles and bones strengthen, joints open, nerves regulate, breath deepens, the mind clears, and the spirit heart awakens.
How can the Swimming Dragon Qigong Forms Support you to manifest your desires?
Swimming Dragon Qigong taps into Chinese wood dragons' energy, representing prosperity, longevity, resiliency, good luck, and harmony.
The Swimming Dragon forms are considered "empowerments." The ancient Taoist Shamans used to give "empowerments" to those who needed support or healing.
In the modern day, these Dragon forms infuse the mystical with the mundane. And provide us with a movement practice that keeps our body healthy, emotions balanced, and our mind clear.
During the practice, you will spiral, coil, and stretch your body as you mirror the movements of a Dragon swimming through the water.
Where your mind goes, the energy goes. Wherever energy goes, it thrives. Qigong helps you consciously focus your mind and energy toward your desires.
What do you desire to consciously co-create with the universe and bring into manifest form?
In other words, what is in season for you?
What area of your life is alive for you right now?
-
A healthy, radiant body that you feel good in as you age?
-
To take excellent care of yourself?
-
A loving relationship with self and/or another?
-
To deepen your spiritual practice?
-
To bring your sacred work into the world and be of greater service?
-
To activate your intrinsic spiritual qualities of healing, wisdom, love, joy, peace, creativity, abundance, and compassion and to stabilize them as the foundation for the next stage of your unfolding?
This process works for all of these areas. And more!
Join us and get clarity about what is in season for you so you can focus your energy there.
When we come together as a community held in a sacred learning container, we amplify each other's energy and improve the probability of your desires manifesting in physical form!
This is the specific Qigong and manifestation routine I engage in to manifest well-being, abundance, love, and a profound spiritual connection in my life.
I've personally embraced the synchronization of my menstrual cycle with the moon, resulting in mild perimenopausal symptoms.
Each herbal blend in my collection is purposefully formulated to enhance women's health and overall well-being.
Through these practices, tools, and methods, I've cultivated a profound sense of connection with the entirety of existence. I'm confident that you, too, will experience an even deeper connection with the essence of life!
Why Do We Do This Specific Practice in Spring?
Spring holds the energy of the maiden, of wood, growth, and the energy of the Heiros Gamos, the sacred marriage of the divine feminine (Yin) and divine masculine (Yang) in their healthy aspects. Earth and sky, the body and the spirit mind. With this beautiful green energy from the earth (body-Yin) and golden energy from the sun (mind-Yang), you will root deeply into the practical daily world to leap confidently into the future of who you are becoming!
Spring is a potent and practical time to practice the skills of self-cultivation and manifestation because all of nature is manifesting and growing, too! Nature is our extended energy body that supports our process of self-actualization and the unfolding of our next stage of evolution.
This subtle yet powerful shift in perspective helps us see that we are not simply gathering external ingredients to assemble our desired life from the outside in.
Instead, we are generating it.
Cultivating it.
Growing it from the inside out!

"Working with Maria has been a transformative and nourishing experience. Maria's skillful and intuitive approach and her deep understanding of qigong's healing and wellness aspects have inspired harmony within my mind, body, and spirit. I feel rejuvenated after each qigong session. Maria is skilled at creating a sacred container for healing and self-discovery within a group while being mindful of individual hopes and needs. I have found a sense of sisterhood and support in her presence, connecting with other women on the same journey. I highly recommend Maria as a qigong teacher and empathetic guide for those seeking to connect with their inner Self and embrace a supportive community."

I know it's hard!
I know you're busy! It's hard to develop new healthy habits and practice weekly or daily. It's hard to face your inner barriers. And it's hard to commit to another thing.
But you know what else is hard?
It's hard having so many good ideas and not being able to bring them into manifestation. It's also hard, physically hurting, and it's hard being angry and stressed all the time. It's hard staying stuck in the old patterns that keep you small and scattered.
My love, the choice is up to you.
One option leads you to CONNECTION, COURAGE, and CLARITY.
And the other leads you to the same old frustration you have been experiencing.
What is it costing you to stay scattered, stressed, overwhelmed, and isolated?
It's all hard!
Which hard do you choose?

Meet Your Guide:
Maria Chowdhury
Medicine Woman, Midwife, Qigong Practitioner, and Sacred Ceremonialist
My twenty years as a homebirth midwife, herbalist, meditator, and martial artist has 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 loving 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. I am a certified teacher of Holden Qigong.
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.
Some Common FAQs:
-
I'm already so busy! What is the time commitment? The minimum time commitment is 1.5 hours once a week for the live sessions. Of course, the more time you commit to your practice, the more benefits you will receive.
-
I'm brand new to Qigong and the internal arts. Is this journey right for me? Only you can know if it is right for you to join. But please know that you do not need any prior experience. You will learn what you need to know in the journey.

I've been practicing Qigong for years. What new aspects of the practice will I learn? Great question. In short, this practice is perfect for the seasoned practitioner because every qigong experience is an opportunity to go deeper and refine the practice, and it would be an honor to be on the path of mastery with you. If you have specific questions, reach out to me, and we can discuss them.
-
I have an injury and am not able to stand for long periods of time. Is this practice a good fit for me? Great question! The short answer is yes; much of the practice can be done seated. Every movement can be modified to fit your specific needs. This is a healing practice, and every one of us needs to listen to our bodies and interact with the practice in a way that is healthy for us. It is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Having said that, Spring Qigong is the most physical of all the seasons. Having said that, Spring Qigong is a fairly physical practice that builds stamina and endurance. If you have specific concerns or questions, just reach out, and we can discuss them.
-
