Syner-Qi is our monthly event where we will explore a Qigong practice together. Each month will feature an NQA Professional member who will guide participants through a Qigong practice and/or meditations.
Whether you're a novice or seasoned practitioner, Syner-Qi offers something to suit every level. This event is perfect for newcomers eager to sample different techniques and for seasoned practitioners seeking fresh perspectives. Moreover, participants can integrate elements from each session into their personal practice.
If you can't make it to this live event, a recording will be added to the Syner-Qi Archive within the NQA membership hub. We also send an email of the recording to all registrants.
Join us the Sunday after Qi Talks at 3 PM EST.
Members: Free
Non-Members: $25

Syner-Qi with Brian Cook
Host: Mary Beck
Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
The Kunlun Mountains are referred to as the "spine of the world" or the "dragon's spine" due to their unique geological formations and their significance in Chinese mythology. These formations have fueled legends of a sacred realm, a gateway between heaven and earth. Brian will refer to the singular Kunlun Mountain, one of 228 peaks in the Kunlun Range.
The Wu Shen are Five Spirits that correspond to the Five Elements and the Five Yin organs of the body. Each element, therefor each Spirit, is associated with an emotion. The Five Spirits provide another perspective as we explore the human psyche: the peaks and valleys of our own life experiences.
Brian is a storyteller. He has created a set of Qigong forms inspired by imagery of the Five Spirits. The forms are adapted from Flying and Swimming Dragons as taught by Mimi Kuo Deemer. We will learn five dragon forms, expressing the movement of each Spirit. Our journey will begin and end at the heart center.
