Embody Your Inner Healer
With Qigong The Wise Woman Way
A Year-Long Online Qigong Transformational Journey
For Spiritual Women To Connect With Their Intrinsic Healing Power and Prepare for Internal Alchemy In Times of Change and Transition
Starting October 30th, 2023
The Invitation
Practice Qigong to Stay Connected to All Your Sources and Live Awake!
Beautiful sister,
Hail and welcome to Path with Harmony Sanctuary!
Come, you have traveled so far, experienced so much, and accomplished many of your goals. You have a rich spiritual life and are serving the community with your soul gifts as a healer or sacred space holder. You are an emissary of love; you walk your path with reverence and respect, knowing you belong to the Earth and we are all connected.
Your very presence is healing.
You’re Invited to…
Embody your inner healer, prepare for inner alchemy and activate your luminous light body with Qigong the Wise Woman Way. A year long sacred journey- a spiraling path through the seasons, elements, and cosmos. Here, you will learn a simple, potent, and sacred energy art known as Qigong. You will learn Qigong flows, standing postures, mediations, sounds, colors, and archetypes for self-healing and sacred space holding.
Let's Get Clear On a Few Things First...
You are whole and complete; there is nothing about you that you need to fix or heal. You are not broken or lost in any way. To embody your inner healer does not mean you are sick. It simply means you -we- have an intrinsic ability to live in harmony and to be healthy, whole, and holy. This is our natural state of being.
Wise Woman does not necessarily mean old, nor does it mean you are no longer menstruating. It can mean that. From my lensing, it means you are a natural woman, in sync with the rhythms of nature and the seasons of life. A wise woman is willing to trust the process of birth, life, death, and rebirth and does so with a light heart full of curiosity, joy, and authenticity.
Now that we got that cleared up...
"To be in a sacred space with Maria is to be held in the field of her wise presence. Her perspective on life, growth, challenges, and potential are both carried and delivered in a way that is light and playful yet profoundly life changing. This combination of playfulness and deep wisdom and care is wonderful to witness and a delight to experience."

Why This Journey?
Wise Woman Qigong is an emerging path of freedom, of embodied ecstatic wisdom, grounded in practical energy tools, skills, and Qigong frameworks so you can navigate change and share more of your gifts, talents, and love with the world while following the Tao and being fully resourced, with healthy boundaries, and not feeling depleted.
Why Online?
Why…
As a spiritual woman who serves your community and clients, cares for your family, and loves the spiraling cosmic dance of the seasons and nature, do you find yourself changing on every level? Do you desire to simplify your life and feel more centered, resourced, and aligned as you navigate the unknown?
As a modern spiritual woman in the midst of change, are you navigating…
-
Changes in your body, such as aging, perimenopause, and menopause?
-
A healing journey of physical, emotional, and mental health?
-
Shifts in your relationships with partners, children, friends?
-
A new way to bring your sacred work into the world?
-
How to integrate and embody countless intense spiritual initiations and breakthroughs?
Do you ever feel:
-
Like you love your life, and you desire to deepen your spiritual practice while getting healthier
-
Like your emotions and mood swings are so intense that they rule you rather than you mastering them?
-
Unsure about your changing cycle and how to navigate perimenopause?
-
The depletion from stress, chronic busyness, and overgiving?
-
Exhausted after sessions with clients, students, or family?
-
Concerned about how to stay as healthy and vibrant as possible as you age?
-
Like your inner wild woman has been shut down or trapped?
-
Like you lost some part of yourself along the way?
-
Like there is an abundance of energy, wealth, and health all around you, and if you could just tap into it, things would start to open up, and your blocked areas can flow?
-
Like a simple embodiment, practice would benefit you, but are too busy to add one more thing?
Sister, I see you! I honor you, and I bow to you.
Thank you for being you and for showing up in this amazing world and sharing your heart and soul, your gifts, skills, and talents with us! The world needs you to flourish and thrive. When you flourish, so do those around you.
“The psyches and souls of women have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.”
―Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Why Monday?
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!
Benefits of Qigong
To list some of the benefits of Qigong does not do the art justice, but I'll try:
-
This is more than just self-care. It is healing for you and your lineage. Feeling at home and safe in your body is essential for transformation and spiritual awakening to occur. Being able to authentically express your feminine, sensual, and sexual energy is good medicine for the body, mind, and spirit. This practice is a portal into your inner temple and your heartwomb.
-
On a physical level, Qigong is a longevity and resiliency practice that honors your Second Spring that comes with perimenopause and menopause by improving heart, bone, uterine, sleep, immune, and endocrine health.
-
By transforming old stuck emotions, Qigong offers very tangible feelings of love, joy, ecstasy, peace, harmony, balance, confidence, generosity, and kindness.
-
Practicing the flowing movements of Qigong, you enter into the flow state and experience less stress and more effortless ease, grace, peace, and harmony.
-
Being in a wisdom circle as a sisterhood is being in an alchemical container. You will deepen your capacity to hold sacred space for self and others. And learn how to cleanse other people's energy out of your field by creating healthy, energic boundaries.
-
As a divine human, you stand between Earth and Sky. You feel connected to nature and the vast universe as your extended body. Supporting your ability to cope with change without losing touch with who you are and are able to flow through the seasons of life centered within.
-
Qigong and ceremony offer a direct experience of cultivating your luminous light body and your spirit body, and offers access to the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Opening you to a higher, more refined spiritual connection and a path of awakening.
-
So much more!
Can you see how a Wise Woman Qigong practice can support your healing process and help those you serve and care for to flourish?
TESTIMONIALS
"Maria is full of embodied feminine wisdom to share! I’ve been acquainted with her for many years, love her herbal offerings, and am so glad that she is now teaching Qi Gong. Qi Gong has long been a favorite of mine, and I’ve enjoyed many classes from different teachers. In Maria’s classes, I'm always pleased and enriched by her unique and heartfelt ways of sharing this ancient form of healing. Thank you, Maria, you bring a new life to this practice!"

The Journey
Where are we going?
As a sisterhood, we are simultaneously tending our life garden and traveling with the Tao, the path of the sun around the medicine wheel of the year.
We begin our journey with our breath in our lungs and meet The Alchemist in Autumn when the veils are thin, with the Metal element and the White Crane.
We start here because it is the time of the great reveal and release. Beginning this grand adventure with support and an empty cup provides us with the foundation and spaciousness to transform.
From there, we spiral into the still dark Waters of our kidneys in Winter to meet The Philosopher and The Deer.
Here, we soften into the stillness of the pause. The space in between. The empty/full womb of the great mother (The Tao) with our ancestors. In the nourishing darkness, a seed is formed.
Soon, as Pioneers, we spiral out into the beauty of Spring and meet The Tiger and Dragon in our Liver.
In spring, like Wood, we are reborn, and our energy grows and expands. We emerge out of the darkness with our vision and our sacred service and contributions. We are ready to set intentions and manifest our heart's desires.
Before you know it, the softness and newness of spring mature into Summer Heart Fire. Now, you are ready to meet The Wizard and the joyful, loving Monkey.
As the fire burns down into ashes, we settle into the center, our Spleen, the Earth, and the season of Late Summer to meet The Peacekeeper and The Bear.
Here, we enter the season of harvest and integration. This is the time to ground, regroup, restore, and recuperate. Here, we sift and sort through all our experiences of the entire journey to find and digest the treasures hidden within.
Our journey completes near the Autumn Equinox because now your next steps are clear.
Along the way...
You will befriend great teachers in the form of archetypes, spirit animals, natural elements, colors, healing sounds, power postures, qigong flows, vibrations, emotions, internal organs, seasons, plants, moon phases, soul sisters, menstrual cycles, and most importantly, you'll deeply connect with the teacher within.
What to expect...
From a Qigong perspective, there are 5 seasons. During each season, we will have an 8-week practice session followed by a 2-week integration period.
Each new session is honored and acknowledged with a sister circle.
During our sister circle, we will deepen our connection with each other, set our intentions for the season, and go on a guided meditation to meet the archetype, season, and spirit animal that we are developing a relationship with.
For the next 7 weeks in that season, we will practice qigong practices, forms, and movements to fully immerse ourselves in the frequency of that season.
The last session of each season we will complete by fully embodying the spirit animal of that season and a closing ceremony to honor and harvest experiences.
After our two-week integration, we will continue to dance on the spiral of the medicine wheel until we arrive at the center.
Integration
The two weeks of integration are for self-practice and rest. This is a powerful journey that requires the spaciousness to fully receive the medicine of each season. Qigong teaches us how to integrate as we go.
TESTIMONIALS
To me, I feel Qigong is the essence of life, the art of living and feeling into my body temple, the art of flow and feeling into the life-given force of the cosmic energy that's everything and everywhere both inside me and outside me. To tap into this palpable form of force is the very key of better understanding myself and better embodying into my own true sense of the self, as well as finding the sense of homeness and wholeness with all sentient beings on earth. I'm truly grateful for the amazing Qigong journeys that you have guided me through and that we have been walking and journeying together. Sending you oceans of love & hugs!

Why Now?
Life as we know is swiftly changing!
We are evolving.
We are at a threshold of choice.
We are at a point in our life where we know our full participation, presence, and love is required for our own personal healing, for our family, our lineage, our clients, and for all beings on the planet.
This requires us to be connected to all our sources.
Are you ready?
This journey is for you if:
-
You know yourself, and you are ready to refine your spiritual practice and health by taking it to the next level.
-
If you are ready to practice Qigong as a sisterhood in a transformative alchemical container, to embody your inner healer and activate your luminous light body.
-
You hold space for others and are ready to commit to holding space for yourself, too, while maintaining healthy, energetic boundaries because you have a tendency to overgive and feel depleted.
-
You are seeking a simple and spiritual path to live awake while being connected, nourished, and fully resourced spiritually, mentally, and energetically so you can contribute more.
-
You are willing to enter into the mystery of the unknown and trust the process to unfold. While learning from an ancient Taoist shamanic practice, spirit animals, archetypes, and the teacher within.
-
You are committed to honoring your body as you age and navigate changes such as perimenopause and want to synchronize with the moon phases, the natural seasons, and the cycles of life and nature.
-
You are ready to embody your love and power and are willing to love your light and your shadow as you remove the hidden blocks that have been holding you back, keeping you small and not fully expressing yourself.
-
You desire healthy structures and grounded daily practices to support you in living life on your terms. So you don't have to feel so alone or confused during powerful life transitions, and you welcome support in these times.
If you feel like this journey is calling you, I am extending out my hand, inviting you to join us as we walk the path in harmony together.
This is a beauty path, a way of embodied love, emergence, and awakening.
What Does Living Awake Mean?
This journey is designed to be simple and supportive of your other practices, work schedule, and sacred offerings that you are already committed to.
At the minimum, it is a 1 hour and 30 minute a week commitment.
Ideally, you will bring these practices into your life and start a weekly self-healing Qigong practice that fits your schedule.
Practicing 20-30 minutes a few times a week can be life changing!

TESTIMONIALS
"The sheer magic of the alchemical container held us all safely and with clarity whilst the transformational work happened. Maria is very skilled at holding space and creating meditations and practices that genuinely create change in the body, mind, emotions, and group dynamic."
-Sarah-Jayne Garner
Dear sister,
Please know that, yes, you are going to learn a lot about Qigong, how energy moves through your meridian lines, and how to skillfully cleanse, circulate, cultivate, and store energy so you can flourish in all areas of your life personally and professionally.
Expect to experience shifts in your health, relationships, sense of purpose, spiritual practice, confidence, prosperity, and meaningful connection with others.
This journey will amplify your sacred work
and inner healing process
EXPONENTIALLY!
It is important to me that you know this is not a class! You will want your journal with you, but you don't need to take notes. You are not going to be tested, there is no certification, and there is nowhere for you to arrive... except your own harmonized center.
The journey is the experience!
I am a guide and will transmit the experience rather than "teach" it.
The truth is that the wise woman way is a very simple path.
This is a wisdom circle, a path of sisterhood, cyclical change, and embodied sage wisdom that keeps you in your center, connected to all your sources, as you remember your essence and wholeness so you can trust your internal navigation system to lead you home to yourself.
Your soul and the Qi are your greatest teachers.
I am here to hold the container and guide you to and through a soul polishing and alchemical process as you live fully in your body and awaken to yourself, love, power, and truth.
Apply and Schedule Your Clarity Call
This is not simply a course that you sign up for. Because this is such an intimate and transformative journey that requires a year of commitment, I ask everyone to apply. Please understand that now might not be the right time for everyone who applies.
I'd love to visit with every sister embarking on the sacred journey before we begin.
I have cleared my schedule for us to explore what your needs and intentions are at this moment and to confirm that this is the right time for you.
