Setting Intentions for 2025

As the year winds down, we find ourselves reflecting on the practices and moments that have brought us clarity, balance, and joy—and we’re filled with gratitude for the journey.

Recently, we completed an intense detox protocol that cleared out toxins stored in the liver and gallbladder.

Let us just say—this is not a detox for the faint of heart, but we got through it!

The rewards? Feeling physically lighter, mentally clearer, and even more inspired to share this life-changing work with you.

In keeping with that spirit of clearing and renewal, we decided to join thousands of others around the world for a digital detox on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For two whole days, both our cell phones were on airplane mode and set to “Do Not Disturb.”

Honestly, it felt so good to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with ourself, each other, and nature.

We did log in briefly for one very special reason: the Qi Club Christmas Eve Special.

What Is the Qi Club?

If you’ve never joined us in The Qi Club, think of it as a refreshing blend of Mister Rogers meets I Love Lucy—but for Qigong.

It’s a joyful, welcoming space where we explore movement, meditation, and breathwork together, creating a community focused on healing and connection.

Since its creation in 2020, The Qi Club has been a weekly ritual that we never miss. Rewatching and practicing along with these special moments is like rediscovering a hidden gem of gratitude, compassion, and humor.

This year’s Christmas Eve session was no exception. It brought together fun, creativity, and profound healing on multiple levels, leaving us with a renewed appreciation for the power of intention and presence.

Why We Took a Digital Detox

Part of our detox involved stepping away from the World Wide Web. Social media, Amazon, and Google have a way of consuming our attention and, let’s face it, mining our personal data. Even as you’re reading this email, it’s being tracked.

Think about that for a moment. 💡

We are living in an attention economy where you are the currency. How you spend your time and where you place your focus is everything.

The digital detox was an opportunity to take back our power. By disconnecting, we cleared out the mental clutter (like clearing a clogged sink filter) and found renewed appreciation for life in 3D—real, tangible, present-moment experiences.

The result? Increased gratitude, thankfulness, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.

Let’s Set Intentions for 2025

Speaking of connection and presence, we’re excited to invite you to a very special event:
