One World — One Breath
Learn The Eight Pieces of Brocade — one of Qigong's foundational practices — with a Japan-certified instructor in Sedona
Register Now — $180Ba Duan Jin is one of Qigong's foundational forms. The design of these elegant movements breaks up blockages in your inner energy lines — the meridians — so that Qi (life-force energy) can move through unimpeded.
Over six weeks, you will learn and refine this complete practice under the guidance of Master Barbara Matsuura, who studied Qigong in Japan where it is part of the martial arts training — not a spa treatment.
What these movements do:
The result: Balance of Body, Mind, and Spirit.
You will leave this training with a complete self-healing practice you can do anywhere, at any age, for the rest of your life.

On April 25, we join thousands of practitioners worldwide. The wave begins at 10:00 AM in New Zealand and travels westward across the globe — each time zone joining at 10:00 AM local time, creating a continuous wave of breath, movement, and intention encircling the Earth.
Barbara Matsuura didn't learn Qigong from a weekend workshop or a YouTube video.
She learned it in Japan — where Qigong is part of the martial arts training. Where practitioners train the old way: rigorous, demanding, real.
Her credentials:
Training measured in decades, not days.
Established over 20 years ago by Bill and Angela Douglas, World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has one simple, powerful idea:
At 10:00 AM in every time zone, practitioners around the world practice together — creating a wave of health and peace that circles the entire planet.
It begins in New Zealand. It moves westward. And when the wave reaches Sedona at 10:00 AM on April 25, we will be standing together at Alchemy Healing Arts — breathing with the world.
"One World — One Breath"
Your six weeks of training culminates in this moment. You won't just be watching. You'll be part of the wave.

"I CANNOT even begin to tell you how soothing and incredibly warm/hot her hands became during our session; I've never experienced anything like it and its healing components were potently effective. TRULY, if you are seeking other modalities than western medicine — she is the real deal, no question."
