Women’s Qigong & Energetic Healing

About the Retreat

Nourishing the Body Temple: Women’s Qigong and Energy Healing

Removed from the noise and distraction of everyday life, you meander out to your morning session on the beach or temple, relaxing into the slow gentle movements of Qigong. You feel both energized and relaxed, quickly replacing those layers of stress, fatigue and dullness with lifetime habits of relaxation and self-care.

In the afternoons, you’ll explore ancient feminine shamanic practices to develop strength, power and awaken intuition. Learn how to use your energy body to maintain vitality and health and to magnetize what you want to create in your life. Drawing from the powerful energies of the ocean, whales, and tropical jungle, you will leave feeling deeply nourished; soul awakened and wrapped in the supportive energy of a new group of women friends.

“Learning qigong from Deborah has been one of the most amazing experiences for me, on so many levels. I am so much more aware of my body, emotions, nature, intuition and spirituality. I have seen so many wonderful things in nature that I would have missed had I not been outside experiencing such a level of awareness. I’m amazed at how my practice can positively change my emotional state and energy level.” – Jeanne

About the Teachers

Deborah Davis, L.Ac.

For the past 25 years, Deborah Davis has practiced various forms of alternative healing: herbal medicine, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, massage, and psychic readings. She received her Masters from Santa Barbara College of Oriental Medicine and is licensed in acupuncture and herbal medicine by the Medical Board of the State of California, the National Commission of Certification of Acupuncturists and the Oregon Board of Examiners. Ms. Davis is also certified in Clinical Hypnotherapy by the Transpersonal Institute of Hypnotherapy in Los Angeles. She holds a B.A. in Ethnobotany. In 1990, Deborah began her studies in medical qigong under the tutelage of Dr. Wang, a Chinese surgeon/pathologist and Buddhist qigong master. She learned medical qigong in a traditional apprenticeship where Dr. Wang taught her qigong protocols for over 40 diseases and imbalances, passing along his vast knowledge for Deborah to carry on. She specializes in women’s medical qigong, and authored the book Women’s Qigong for Health and Longevity (Shambhala 2008), along with the companion DVD series. As part of her apprenticeship, they ran a Qigong clinic in the early 1990s in Santa Barbara, California. Deborah witnessed infertile women become pregnant, cysts disappear, and even terminally ill cancer patients go into remission. Although there were many instances where they witnessed miraculous cures, Dr.Wang’s primary message, and the guiding principle of Deborah’s teachings, is the importance of taking care of oneself and not relying on the medical system for our health. Learning to heal and nurture ourselves through qigong, herbs and intuitive self-healing are the ancient traditions that Deborah shares with women around the world. deborahdavis.com
