Qigong Yearlong Teacher Mentorship (2021) |
|
About the programme:
I am happy to offer an informal yearlong qigong mentorship programme to existing qigong teachers, or those who wish to begin the steps towards teaching. These sessions are an opportunity to receive support, feed back questions about teaching as well as focus on one or two key elements about sharing qigong effectively and authentically. Participation in the first session is required to join any subsequent sessions.
PLEASE NOTE: this mentorship programme is currently full.

Format:
Each session will be two hours and 30 minutes, including a 15 minute break. We will be using my book, Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis, as a basic guideline and manual for the sessions. Each month we will focus on a section of the book, breaking down forms and meditations/visualisations. Principles on how to structure classes, use imagery and language and work with energy and meridian theory will be included. There will also be time to feed back questions about teaching, and receive input or support to your process. Small groups will be assigned in the first session, and attendees are asked to meet with their group on Zoom once between sessions.

Prerequisites:
- Minimum of one year's consistent practice of qigong (4 - 5 x per week).
- An open-minded attitude towards learning
- Attendance of the first session is mandatory, and participation throughout the whole year is recommended.
- A love for sharing the health and benefits of qigong with others
Attendance:
Though recordings will be sent out after each session, attendance live is required to participate.
Certification:
At the end of a year, you can add the total number hours up that you have attended through the mentorship as well as other classes, courses or immersions you do with me and I’m happy to issue a certification for those hours. Please be aware this is not a formal certification, but it is an acknowledgement that you have been working and studying with me. At the moment, there are no certifying bodies in the UK for qigong like there is for yoga or mindfulness, so hopefully this will suffice.
Fees/Dana:
The sessions will be offered on dana, which means generosity and support. You are welcome to contribute dana of any amount per session from £0 - 30. This makes it accessible and possible for those who are unemployed or furloughed to still attend, which is my hope.
To offer dana, you may use Paypal and Venmo or online payments via my website.
