Violet shared that her decision to join the NQA came from a desire to help more people become aware of the many different forms of Qigong and how these practices can support health and well-being in meaningful ways. With that intention in mind, she ultimately said yes to becoming involved, and she thanked Siobhan for the invitation.

Siobhan responded by acknowledging that Violet’s initial hesitation is something many practitioners experience. She emphasized that the NQA is a welcoming, community-oriented organization made up of like-minded individuals who are committed to sharing practices that have benefited them personally, as well as their students and clients. At its core, the NQA is a gathering of people dedicated to education, health, and the responsible sharing of Qigong.

Siobhan closed by thanking Violet for joining the conversation and for sharing her background and experience with the National Qigong Association, and expressed hope that they would continue the discussion in greater depth in the future.
