Overview

Mission

To educate and enable individuals to improve themselves and help others through the practice of Qigong and the principles of Ren Xue.

What it reported doing in 2025

Qigong is the self-healing branch of traditional Chinese medicine that involves still and movement meditation. This practice has been shown to improve health by strengthening the body, calming the mind and lessening stress and tension. Other healing benefits include stress reduction, improved focus, attention, and mental clarity and increased energy. In addition to the movement practice, students learn from a body of work known as Ren Xue which teaches how to use and cultivate consciousness in a positive way for healthy development of life. Students are taught to recognize how their patterns of consciousness influence their well-being and how to substitute healthier patterns to optimize wellness. Sliding scale is available to all students and pro bono sessions are offered for those not able to afford the usual fees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
