Advanced Heaven and Earth Qigong
July 26 - August 6
SKIP TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION
Online Attendance Opening Soon
The Heaven and Earth form is one of the most widely practiced qigong sets within the Energy Arts System. It is very popular not only for being accessible to beginners but also for its profound capacity to delve into the internal arts. This practice incorporates neigong (internal energy techniques), making it an incredibly effective tool for enhancing your well-being.
Master Bruce has been teaching Heaven and Earth Qigong for over 30 years. After all these years of teaching and refinement, he is now ready to guide students to the next level of this transformative practice.
What You Will Learn
Master Bruce, along with his Senior Instructors, will lead an exclusive intensive on the deeper, more advanced components of the Heaven and Earth qigong set. While the first stage of the form emphasizes the joints, ligaments, and fascia, this advanced course (Level 7 and 8 material) will focus on even deeper layers of the body and mind, including:
- The internal organs (lungs, liver, heart, etc.)
- The center of the bones, including the marrow
- Blood vessels
- Tendons
- The brain and its internal processes
- The deeper workings of the mind
Heaven and Earth is layered with multiple energetic levels, each offering profound potential for growth. With this new depth, you will gain further opportunities to transform your mind, body, and spirit.
Prerequisites
For the best experience in this advanced course, it is recommended that you already know the basic Heaven and Earth form. If you are not yet familiar with it, we highly encourage you to learn the form before attending.
To maximize your results, it’s also beneficial to have a basic understanding of how to work with ligaments, fascia, and other foundational aspects of the practice. If you are new to these concepts, we recommend taking Bills Ryan’s Beginner’s Course the week prior to this event. This course is specifically designed to prepare both beginners and intermediate practitioners for the deeper teachings of Heaven and Earth.
If you are unable to attend Bill’s class and are not yet familiar with the form, consider exploring our related resources, which can guide you through the practice. You can also connect with a local Energy Arts Heaven and Earth Qigong instructor via our Instructor Map. Here are some additional resources:

Master Bruce Frantzis
Bruce Frantzis is a recognized Daoist Lineage Master and the Founder of Energy Arts. He trained for over a decade and a half in China, India, and Japan and worked extensively as a qigong tuina doctor. For more than 50 years he has studied and taught the martial, healing, and spiritual practices of ancient China. He teaches qigong, meditation, and tai chi (and the related arts of baguazhang and xingyi) and has authored more than a dozen books on these subjects. The heart of his tradition is the cultivation of Qi (chi), the internal energy that connects the mind, body, and spirit to the underlying consciousness of the universe (Dao).
Energy Arts Senior Instructors 
During this training, Bruce will be assisted by Senior Instructors from around the globe who will both be providing additional instruction and giving hands-on corrections to students during Bruce’s teachings. They are advanced students of Bruce with at least 30 years of teaching experience who will help students embody the sophisticated material that will be taught during this course.
The Benefits of Attending In-Person
In-person attendance is always recommended. Bruce responds directly to those he sees practicing in the room and adjusts accordingly. The teachings are transmission-based and offered in a sealed space – embodying the information is most possible in-person.
- Hands-on adjustments from Bruce and multiple experienced Senior Instructors..
- Priority during Q and A sessions.
