Self-Mastery Program

The QiRoots Self-Mastery Program is a deep, immersive year-long training program designed to guide students through all 5 seasons and elements of Qigong-Spring (Wood), Early Summer (Fire), Late Summer (Earth), Autumn (Metal) and Winter (Water). This program is for individuals who want more than a single workshop or weekly classes; it is for those who feel called to truly live Qigong as a daily practice, a healing path, and a way of reconnecting to their true nature.

Over the course of the year, students explore how each season influences the body, mind, emotions and spirit, learning to harmonize with nature's rhythms instead of pushing against them. Each module builds on the one before, creating a layered understanding of energy flow, longevity practices, internal awareness, and personal transformation.

What the Program Includes:

1. Five Seasonal Weekend Retreats (One for Each Element)

Each retreat offers a full immersion into the practices, healing principles, and philosophy of one seasonal element. Students experience:

~ seasonal Qigong forms and flows

~ movement for balance and fluidity

~ acupressure points and meridian theory

~ dietary wisdom and herbal considerations

~ emotional and spiritual themes related to each organ system

~ seasonal rituals for release, renewal, grounding, joy, or restoration

This allows participants to feel the energy of each season in their body and understand how to adjust their lifestyle for balance.

2. Monthly Integration Practices

Between retreats, students receive guided assignments to apply what they learned, such as:

~short daily Qigong sequences

~ breathwork, meditation, and stillness practices

~ seasonal nutrition adjustments

~energy-balancing routines based on organ systems

~personal intention-setting and reflection work

These practices ensure that the teachings become a lived experience that transforms daily life.

3. Deep Study of the Five Elements & Organ Systems

Students learn to understand:

~ how the elements influence emotions

~ how organ systems communicate

~ how energy stagnation affects health and mood

~ how nature’s cycles mirror our internal cycles

~how to create long-term balance and resilience

This is where students begin to see the connections between their habits, their energy, and their well-being.

4. Seasonal Philosophy & Mind-Body Wisdom

Each element teaches a unique spiritual or emotional quality:

Wood—vision, purpose, growth

Fire—joy, connection, authentic expression

Earth—nourishment, stability, clarity

Metal—letting go, breathing, refinement

Water—inner strengthening, restoration, wisdom

By the end of the program, students cultivate a deep trust in their own nature and learn to live with greater harmony, patience, and self-awareness.

5. A Supportive Community of Practitioners

Students move through the program together, forming a grounded, supportive circle. The group energy amplifies the individual growth, and participants often find:

~ Accountability

~ Shared insights

~ Emotional support

~ Lifelong practice partners

The community becomes part of the transformation.
