Internal Alchemy Course Graduates
Internal Alchemy is the highest level of Qigong training. It requires dedication to the cultivation of both the heart-nature and the body. The training is not easy as it requires daily practice and serious self-reflection. It is not a path for the casual student.

Student Poetry
Students were asked to write a poem entitled "Coming Down the Mountain" to complete the Internal Alchemy class. A few of them have volunteered to share it. Enjoy their self-expression.
When I come down the mountain,
I will be singing and dancing
and laughing
And I will know that all the love I ever need
is
already inside my heart.
And I will give it out freely,
without
asking for anything back
Because I can always drink it
directly
from the Source of Life.
- Inessa Love, Class of 2010
When I walk down the mountain,
I shall walk in the world,
enjoying all its pleasant parts
and meeting all of its challenges.
At the end of each day -- good or bad--,
I shall sit and know
that I have a home,
not in a distant land or a secret place,
but
within myself, within the Dao."
- Alain Jachiet, Class of 2010
