Qigong (pronounced "chee gong") is a holistic system of coordinated movement and meditation that focuses on cultivating one's consciousness. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi), translated as "life energy". According to Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian philosophy, qigong allows access to higher realms of awareness, awakens one's "true nature", and helps develop human potential. Through movement, meditation and group reflection we renew and replenish our vital energy while developing skills to create true health, balance and harmony in our daily lives. Join us! VIRTUAL

Prior to finding Gilda’s I felt isolated and overwhelmed. Speaking with other caregivers has been key to being able to cope and keep going, as well as getting much needed information to advocate and care for my mom.
