Please consult the PROGRAM SCHEDULE.
Dear qigong practitioner,
For the past several years, pandemic restrictions and responsible caution have prevented us from offering qigong programs. Now, with restrictions of social gathering lifting and the risk of COVID spread diminishing, we are able to resume programs on the qigong path.
The upcoming programs I am offering at Dechen Choling in April are the first of many programs that will begin my return to Europe and my continuing commitment to making the teachings of my qigong lineage available again.
I would like to personally invite you to three unique and important programs that will be offered in April at Dechen Choling.
- First and foremost is Wudangshan Animals Long Forms. This program is one of the requirements for Qigong Level 6 that I am planning to offer in 2024. If this is the final requirement that you need to complete before Level 6, interviews will be offered and permission will be given for you to begin the advanced levels of the qigong path.
- The program Qigong Strategies for Health offers tools for using materials covered in Qigong 1 and 2 to build a practice that will enhance physical and energetic health. It is useful for both beginning as well as long-time practitioners.
- The third program The Natural World as Teacher is a unique program in which techniques of Shangqing Taoist practices are introduced. This program offers a glimpse into a Taoist lineage that is rarely know outside Chinese Taoist circles.
I hope you will join me in celebrating the return of qigong to Europe and continuing your journey of qigong practice, and I look forward to seeing you personally at Dechen Choling in April.

Special programs by Eva Wong in Dechen Chöling
Strategies for Health
To be aware of the body’s energetic environment is the key to good health. As it is externally, so it is internally.
The structure of the physical world parallels the energetic world of our body. If we can identify the energy centers and pathways of the human body, we can develop strategies for clearing blockages that prevent internal energy (qi) to run smoothly and peacefully within.
In this program, we will explore the energetic terrain of the body with the qigong methods of 9 Self-Massage and 12 Devas, discover the causes of energy blockage, and develop strategic ways of removing qi blockages and attaining good health.
Requirements: Qigong 1 and 2.
The Wudangshan Five Animals Long Forms Intensive.
The Wudangshan Five Animals Long Forms are designed to enhance tendon-changing and marrow-washing practices using advanced stances and internal martial arts-based postures. Totaling 48 movements, these animal forms train the practitioner to use the Tiger Form to strengthen bones and tendons, the Leopard Form to develop spring-like qualities in the tendons, the Dragon Form to train spinal movement, the Snake Form to enhance spinal flexibility, and the Crane Form to focus qi to the top of the head.
Requirements: Tendon Changing and Marrow Washing Intensive and Animal Forms Intensive.
This program is required for Level 6.
April 22 at 9am till April 23 at 6pm. 2023
With Eva Wong
The natural world is the gateway to the Tao. The sun, moon, and stars carry the essences of the celestial energy of the Tao. Mountains, rivers, rocks, and earth carry the qi of the land. Trees, flowers, grasses, and animals are filled with life force. Clouds, fog, and mist display the interaction of yin and yang.
Join Eva Wong in experiencing the natural world in the beautiful hills and valley of Dechen Chöling. Learn how to find a place in nature where you can sit quietly, reflect, and be with the phenomenal world. Open your awareness to the energy of the land. Find out how to use the Chinese calendar to guide your diet, lifestyle, and activity as you move through the seasons.
The natural world is intelligent, luminous, and alive. It is the best teacher of the Tao. Let us learn from it.
(no requirements).
