Why Join an Online Retreat
Healing and Awakening Retreats with Master Mingtong Gu are among the most focused and in-depth Wisdom Healing Qigong experiences available. They are designed for people of all backgrounds who wish to strengthen wellbeing, stabilize their energy, and live with greater presence and clarity.
Through 8-day cycles of guided practice, energetic teaching transmissions and community connection, you’ll discover how to activate your body’s natural energy system from home to:
- Restore vibrancy in your physical health
- Steady your emotions and release tension
- Cultivate mental clarity and focus
- Feel more connected in daily life
- Strengthen a sense of spiritual presence and purpose
This is the essence of Wisdom Healing Qigong — a practical, time-tested method that allows the benefits you experience in retreat to ripple into every part of daily life.
“Why is our personal healing work essential for the evolution of ALL humanity and Planet Earth – especially right now?”
Master Mingtong shares why personal healing is inseparable from the healing of our planet — and why this moment calls for it.
“Even though I couldn’t always attend during the live broadcasts, I could feel the healing energy of the chi-verse when I was able to tune in later in the day. Master Mingtong Gu’s sound healings make my organs sing! Not only do I have more energy and my knees are much happier, but at this time of rapid change and challenge I feel calm and centered. I would encourage anyone who wants to feel better, with more vitality and joy, to sign up for an online retreat with The Chi Center today! Haola"
Alignment, Coherence & Awakening
In Master Mingtong’s teaching, these words are living transmissions — each one pointing us beyond concept into the felt experience of wholeness and transformation.
Alignment
When the parts of our being — body, mind, heart, and spirit — come into harmony, energy flows freely. Alignment allows each dimension of life to reinforce the others in a natural rhythm of healing, love, and fulfillment. It is a state of life arranging itself into progressive, evolving wholeness.
“When we are in full alignment with the energy of the Universe, we create an environment for synchronicities and miracles that can astound us.” — MMG
Coherence
Coherence is the synchronization of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energies so they function as one. When energy is coherent, all parts are connected, moving in rhythm, and reinforcing each other. This high-frequency order generates harmony, resilience, creativity, and optimal functioning.
“When you are in coherence you are functioning optimally. This is also called a flow-state or being in the zone. Your creativity is amplified and perception can be extraordinary.” — MMG
Awakening
Awakening opens our awareness to new dimensions of connection. Inner and outer, part and whole, are experienced as inseparable. With awakening, alignment and coherence continue to expand, revealing themselves as distinct expressions of the same living energy. Awakening guides us into deeper presence and fuller participation in life.
“Awakening is the discovery of a new consciousness, where energy flows freely and life reveals its wholeness.” — MMG
"I did not expect this much from an Online Qigong Retreat! It was a profoundly intense experience. It felt like I was under a waterfall washing away all impurities in my physical and energetic bodies. I felt a deep sense of cleansing and purification, as well as a deep sense of peace. So much so, that I decided to stay in stillness and quietness during the breaks. There was so much to integrate. This was, for me, the best sound healing I ever experienced, and I could feel the cleansing happening in my digestive tract and other organs. Thank you Master Mingtong so very much."
Gentle & Enlivening Movement And Embodiment Practices
We’ll start each day’s session with a short meditation (called setting the chi field), followed by Master Mingtong teaching you simple movement practices that relax your mind and body to generate more powerful healing and awakening effects.
Then we’ll continue working together as a group in the beautiful round Lotus Flower Kiva, at one of the hilltop labyrinths, underneath the Grandmother Cottonwood Tree, or on the Infinity Deck at the Meditation Pond.
Your day will include teachings, transmissions, sound healing technologies, and gentle movement practices. In addition, you will have plenty of time to process and learn within small groups, with a chi buddy, or in silence.
"Cancer affected my spine with 5 spinal fractures. Participating in the online Qigong Retreat, and embracing discomfort, has increased my range of motion which has improved my quality of life. I look forward to more improvements physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally as I continue to practice. Thank you all, and Haola!
Sound Healing To Open Your Heart & Emotional Energy
You will learn and practice intensive Sound Healing for the 5 organ systems. Sacred healing sounds work to release the stress we all feel — which is often primarily emotional stress locked in the cellular memory of our organs. By healing these emotional contractions of energy, you empower yourself to heal and awaken on every level of your life.
Sound is an energetic vibration that can awaken your heart, your organs, your consciousness, and your cells – to facilitate deep healing and transformation on all levels from the physical to the emotional and spiritual.
Master Mingtong will teach you the Sound Healing techniques that are normally shared with Level 3 practitioners of Wisdom Healing Qigong. Advanced toning techniques benefit the brain, spinal cord, nerves, joints, muscles, and tendons — as well as awaken your consciousness.
Sound Healing is a deeply empowering practice. Anybody can do it. You don’t need to know how to play a musical instrument, you don’t need a strong voice, and you don’t need any special healing skills. You simply join in making the healing sounds and experience the vibrations and energy around you. Even if you’re a complete beginner, you can learn these techniques with step-by-step guidance.
"I’m at home [online with the Retreat] but I am there. I am reeling. I could feel the chi internally…I felt the fire of healing. Haola! This was extremely powerful. Qigong is new to me every Retreat because I have not yet met who I am becoming. My Old Story departs every second. Online is fabulous! One heart/one mind of optimism, highest faith, and whatever comes next…”
Pure Consciousness Practices To Connect To Essence
Continuing the progress you’ve made in Sound Healing and Movement practices, Master Mingtong will introduce you to the beautiful practice of Lift Chi Up & Pour Chi Down, plus beginning Pure Consciousness practices.
This will be one of the rare times both these practice forms are shared with the general public — the teachings were previously only available within the Zhineng Qigong Master training program in China.
By combining these practices with the energetic charge of our sacred location, plus the collective energy field of the group… the entire Retreat will become a supercharged experience of healing and spiritual awakening!
"I am thrilled with the results I've already seen after just a few days and it definitely deepening my commitment to myself. I cannot thank you enough, Master Mingtong for ALL that you are doing to change the lives of people and thereby creating a more loving and powerful atmosphere for the ascension of our planet! Hoala!"

Your Guide: Master Mingtong Gu
Founder, The Chi Center | Qigong Master | Author, “Coming Home to Embodied Awakening”
“At age 60, I fell off a cliff. Literally.
My body should have been destroyed. But in that moment of complete surrender, I discovered what I’d been teaching for decades: the body isn’t just a vehicle—it’s conscious intelligence.
Everything I teach emerges from lived reality. At age six, I fell into a septic pit—trauma that created chronic asthma and stuttering for decades. I healed completely at a medicine-free hospital in China studying with Grandmaster Pang Ming.
Now I teach 8-10 hours a day for entire months without burning out. I’ve guided tens of thousands through this transformation. This isn’t theory. This is transmission from someone who lives it.
My own healing journey—from decades of chronic illness to vibrant aliveness—revealed the truth I’ve spent 30 years sharing: your body is not your obstacle. It’s your doorway to everything you’ve been seeking.
When I healed my own body, I realized our body is the threshold to your inner home.
This retreat is my heart’s invitation: come discover the healer-leader waiting within you—the integration of wisdom and wellness, strategy and soul, science and spirit.“

"The way The Chi Center has shown up online is remarkable, beautiful and profound. My connection to myself, life in general and to my healing journey in particular continues to grow and deepen. Thank you and haola!"
"Please share my gratefulness to everyone for this amazing Online Retreat. I felt the transmission strongly through the teachings and was touched by watching all the contributions of the staff. Everyone there gave something. It was so fun to watch the dancing and hear the laughing and it added so much to be tuned into it all virtually, although I can't be there in person. My confidence and intention have deepened. This practice is a gift and I am deeply grateful that I was led to find this precious gift in my life. One of my sons asked, 'Are you still doing that magic Qigong thing'? And, all of my family members have told me to never stop doing it because they have noticed great change in me. Haola to everyone. I love you all! Hugs! Haola!"
What is Wisdom Healing Qigong?
QIGONG is a practice, a technology, and an art that applies ancient wisdom, modern science, and the mind’s creative power to transform our lives from dis-ease to health and well-being.
It’s a direct and powerful technology to tap into the infinite source of energy — the same energy in the Milky Way — and use this infinite source to transform our physical and psychological conditions for a better, more balanced life.
HEALING is the application and benefit of awakening consciousness and wisdom when we work with energy as the foundational substance of the creative living universe within and around us.
True healing addresses the deepest causes of disease and life’s problems beyond simply fixing the symptoms. It requires practice to become aware of and change the limited patterns of mind, body, and heart and to then address those energetic conditions. The result is improvement of health and wellbeing, including the transformation of chronic illness for both the long and short term. Healing also seeks – quite naturally – the deep transformation of the whole person, by realizing the whole unified harmony of the individual within and in relationship to the multi-dimensional unity of all life.
WISDOM is the understanding that arises from an awakening of our perception and consciousness of life. Ultimate wisdom is the ability to know and embody the creative source of the living universe, moment-to-moment. It is our conscious capacity to fully participate in the continuous dance of evolving creation.
WISDOM HEALING QIGONG is a Western expression of the most validated effective form of Qigong, cultivated and refined by Master Mingtong Gu. Its foundations stem from the practice of Zhineng Qigong, founded by Master Mingtong’s revered and beloved teacher in China, Dr. Grandmaster Pang Ming.
Qigong is the cosmology (theory) and technology (art) for consciousness to work with creative energy (chi). It is a creative union of consciousness and energy, which awakens the joy-full wisdom capacity of mind, heart, and body.
