Taoist Healing Sounds Qigong: Cleanse and Renew Your Life Force

May 31- June 5, 2026

Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY

'

Learn the rare 19 techniques of the Taoist Healing Sounds Qigong, originating in the monasteries of Mount Hua, the sacred mountain in western China. This specific combination of breath, sound, tone, and dynamic movement purges the internal organs of stagnant qi (energy) and fills them with fresh energy, like recharging your body’s batteries. The system includes exercises and meditations for the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, bladder, and intestines, and ways to circulate qi through the major energy channels (“meridians”). Although primarily experiential—Ken patiently guides you through practice and review—you will also learn how the internal organs influence every aspect of health. As an added bonus, explore the wonders of ancient Chinese music therapy, in which specific musical notes promote internal organ balance as well as harmony with the changing seasons. Easy access from New York City or Albany, NY, includes lodging and delicious buffet style meals. Registration: https://bit.ly/3MrRGKq

2026 National Qigong Association Conference Sept 8-10

Keynote Talk, Sept 8 The Way of Qigong: Ancient Roots, Modern Branches

Denver, Colorado

​

Learn how Qigong, with origins in ancient Chinese shamanism and Taoism, has evolved into a modern form of health care. Ken Cohen will discuss these ancient cultural roots as well as the evidence for the healing benefits of qigong and how and why it works! You will learn about unique brain waves, bioelectric fields, and biochemical changes that accompany qigong practice and how this information is revolutionizing our understanding of the human body and mind.  Yet, we must also ask the question, “Does what we are measuring actually account for the level of healing effect?” Perhaps qigong evokes transpersonal forces that are beyond the scale of our instrumentation, the realm of mystics rather than scientists. https://www.nqa.org/?via=kenneth

The Roots of Tai Chi:

Strong As the Mountain, Supple As Water​

October 29- November 1, 2026

Nevada City, California

​

Tai chi (also spelled Taiji Quan) teaches us to float like clouds and flow like water, yet have the quiet inner strength of a mountain. Come learn, in exquisite detail, a basic series of Yang Style Tai Chi movements, suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced students who wish to experience a fresh approach while greatly expanding their skill and understanding.

    Ken’s emphasis is on quality—each posture contains a world of information about relaxation, alignment, grounding, and inner strength. These principles are important not only for health, but to improve ability in any sport, including the martial arts. The class also includes an introduction to the science behind Tai Chi and how it promotes longevity and harmony with nature. The ultimate goal is to have a Tai Chi mind and body: a life of balance, peace, and energy.

   Location: a beautiful retreat center at the entrance to Tahoe National Forest, only 70 minutes from Sacramento Airport, lodging and delicious meals included.

Primordial Qigong: Vibrant Health, Harmony with the Tao

November 9-13, 2026

Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California

​

After learning the essentials of balanced posture, alignment, and breathing, enjoy step by step instruction in all 12 movements of Hunyuan (Primordial) Qigong. This comprehensive system of meditative energy exercises purges the body of toxic or stagnant qi, clears the major acupuncture meridians, and teaches you how to gather and absorb qi from nature.

   Primordial Qigong is meditation in motion and includes the two most famous forms of Taoist Meditation: the Microcosmic and Macrocosmic Energy Circulation, in which the solar (yang) and lunar (yin) energies flow in harmony, an essential key to vitality and longevity. You will also learn how to recharge the three dan tians, the body’s primary energy “batteries”, increasing your storehouse of resilient qi (life force) as a buffer against stress and other challenges to well-being. Primordial Qigong is the legacy of Ken’s teacher Madame Gao Fu, in direct lineage from the founder of the “medical qigong” movement in modern China. The course is perfect for beginners and all levels.
