Welcome to the Path with Harmony Sanctuary!
Calling in the mystics, counselors, healers, priestesses, and medicine women!
Are you ready to reveal your Three Treasures?
In the Flower to Flame Three Treasures Journey, we are traveling through the flame of our hearts to reveal the Three Treasures. As we embark, the light of the beautiful full strawberry moon illuminates our path, which leads through the summer solstice, where the yang energy rises, and the radiant light of love shines through every crack and crevice of our being.
​
​
This is an epic journey of love!
The great romance between you and the divine.
​
Along the way, you will learn a complete system for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being using simple, healing Qigong movements and meditations.
​
We will work with an ancient practice and make it a practical and grounded method of wellness and vitality based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Buddhist and Taoist Qigong practices.
What are The Three Treasures?
​
The Three Treasures (San Bao), also called the three marvels. Jing, Qi, and Shen represent the energy of the body, the energy of the heart and emotions, and the energy of the mind, consciousness, and spirit.
​
Together, the Three Treasures help us answer the three fundamental questions of life:
​
-
Where Am I?
-
What Do I Want?
-
Who Am I?
"At the center of your being you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want."
- Lao Tzu
In the Three Treasures journey, you will learn a complete system for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health using simple, healing Qigong movements and meditations.
​
We will work with an ancient practice and make it a practical and grounded method of wellness and vitality based on Taoist Cosmology and Traditional Chinese Medicine Qigong practices.
As you deepen your Three Treasures Qigong practice, you begin to see that these three energies are all actually one energy… flowing and manifesting into different forms, much like ice, water, and vapor.
When you understand this, you can learn how to work skillfully with each of these energies and unlock their healing properties.
​
How?
In this journey, you will learn practices like Small Circulation Breathing (also known as the "Microcosmic Orbit" or “Small Heavenly Circle”).
​
The Microcosmic Orbit breathing practice supports you in increasing your internal energy by circulating the energy through your body. Resulting in elevated states of consciousness, creating a calm, clear, and relaxed mind.
It also draws the energy down the front of your body to infuse your heart with healing Qi… which will help you to access the power of your open heart and feel more compassion, lightness, joy, and love.
​
And finally, the practice brings the energy back down into your body to generate health, vitality, stamina, endurance, and energy.
​
The Microcosmic Orbit is just one of the many practices, meditations, and Qigong flows you’ll learn in this journey!

"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."

“Maria helps me connect to my body’s own energy flow, enhancing my physical and mental awareness that clears away energy blocks keeping my stress and emotions in balance. The movements allow increased circulation enabling a stronger immune system to flourish, providing a great benefit to me during this time of uncertainty. Maria’s class makes you feel at peace when you leave, no matter what is going on around you.”

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 currently in the process of becoming a certified teacher Lee Holdings Qigong Teacher Training Program.
​
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.
