 Recovering The Way Qigong merges a simple but elegant mind body practice with the principles of recovery to bring about an enduring sense of calm and wellness. 

 One of the most important yet baffling aspects of recovery is coming to intuit a sense of the Divine. Qigong offers tools and broadens options by opening the senses in a slightly different but very practical way.

Ineffable Higher Powers spoken about in Recovery were written into our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. This video traces its roots through the eyes of Walt Whitman, William James and Bill Wilson.

“Finding Our Higher Power” is a modified Qigong movement that helps us connect with the Divine through our heart-mind (mind + body.) Don’t let its simplicity fool you.

RTW gives us simple practices from the world of Qigong, Recovery and basic scientific awareness to knit together an easy fun and useful experience. It's meditation, self empowerment, self-awareness and exercise all in one.
