We recently returned from the American Holistic Nursing Association’s (AHNA) annual conference. This year it was held in Colorado Spring, CO, a small town situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Although better known as the home of NORAD and several military bases, it also boasts some great hiking and mountain scenery worthy of a Taoist landscape painting. Even the view from the center of town was lovely. Pike’s Peak was the backdrop and you see the hills and mountains which ring the city.
We taught three professional continuing nursing education credit courses during the conference. The theme was on connecting with nature through Taoist Qigong practice. The nurses learned how to use meditation for healing the self and others. They also had a chance to practice the Five Animal Frolics medical Qigong, one of the oldest Qigong sets in existence and create specifically for healing. We met a lot of new people and reconnected with some old friends. The nurses are a very enthusiastic and cheerful group. We really enjoy working with them.
The AHNA approved our Qigong certification course for professional continuing education credit. Any nurse can take our approved classes and receive CNE credit. Non-nurses will receive credit towards their medical Qigong certification.
