Welcoming Lee Holden, CEO & Founder of Holden Qi Gong

Lee Holden is the CEO and founder of Holden Qi Gong. He's world renowned for bringing this ancient Chinese practice to the modern world. Holden has led eight successful shows on PBS, reaching millions of people through his warm, interactive approach to movement and healing.

This November, he will appear on Fountain of Youth with Lee Holden, a 13 episode show broadcast on PBS, where he teaches Qi Gong at a variety of scenic locations, including Yosemite, Redwood National Park, and Croatia.

Holden has worked closely with celebrity clients, Olympic and professional NHL and NFL athletes, and high profile government officials, including the Bush family, the Minister of Happiness of Dubai and the royal family of Jordan.

Through online and in-person courses, Holden teaches the transformative power of Qi Gong, a science that improves the energy life force of individuals by activating dormant energy through a series of breathing and meditative exercises. Practitioners can see results in as little as seven minutes a day.

Holden's teachings have helped more than 10,000 students meet their goals of healing from injury and disease, slowing the aging process, maximizing energy and feeling better in their bodies.

Lee received his official Qi Gong teaching certification from Master Montauk Chia. He went on to ghostwrite 12 books for Chia, including a bestseller about transforming stress into vitality, thus making this ancient practice accessible and comprehensible for all. Lee has also spent time learning from other Qi Gong masters in Japan, China, and Indonesia, along the way.

Qi Gong is currently the most popular exercise in the world with over 50 million people worldwide practicing Qigong every single day.

  • Lee Holden’s unique journey into this ancient healing art from childhood, to finding his mentor, and to his path to expanding his teachings through PBS to bring Qi Gong practice to thousands of people around the world.

Welcoming Ann Cecil-Sterman, Author of Advanced Acupuncture

Ann Cecil Sterman is the author of three major books, including Advanced Acupuncture, a clinic manual acclaimed as the first and only text with complete protocols for all the channels of acupuncture, a book used often as the sole basis for several online courses presented by many teachers around the world.

Ann works to return acupuncture to its inspiring classical roots, not just to the Han Dynasty writings, but even earlier. She teaches in three continents and offers a twice monthly online chat where practitioners new and established present cases and ask any level of question. She graduated from and then taught for six years at the acupuncture school founded by Dr. Jeffrey Yuen in New York.

During and after her time there for over 20 years, she received thousands of hours of direct transmissions from him in acupuncture, pulse, diagnosis, history, food, herbs, essential oils, stones, qigong and philosophy. In her busy Manhattan practice, which she loves, she specializes in seemingly intractable conditions.

In Part 1, you’ll learn:

  • How time alone in England recently changed Ann’s views of teaching

  • Why, as Ann states: “the greatest enemy to broad thinking and expansion of consciousness is fact.”

  • Why you must raise your courage to question what’s considered true 

  • Great advice for both healthcare practitioners and those of you who simply want more tools for your self-cultivation

  • How you can access a resonance to your essence without needles or tangible tools, simply through the power of intention

  • How Covid lockdowns catalyzed the profession of acupuncture to go into a different direction, and how this change will make the benefits of this practice more accessible to a wider audience 

  • As Salvador states: “We have to learn, especially collectively, to see ourselves well.”

In Part 2, you’ll learn:

  • How to return to a state of joy

  • How your thoughts can get in the way of building healthy mindset and emotions

  • The power you have to align with your destiny

  • Why your Heart-Kidney connection is so important for living out your purpose and experiencing endless possibilities

  • The difference between manifesting and receiving, and how to become more receptive

  • How your emotions (and thoughts) manifest in your body
