Gabrielle Hammond
Visiting Teacher
Gabrielle Hammond (Movement Teacher | Qigong) has been practicing as an acupuncturist, herbalist, and Qigong instructor for the past 30 years. She offers Qigong playfully while facilitating practitioners to create conditions for a stable, healing, and calm abiding in movement and stillness.
She has been practicing Vipassana meditation for 18 years and practices silent meditation retreats annually. She has completed Spirit Rock’s two-year Dedicated Practitioner Program and Sacred Mountain Sangha’s two-year Dharmapala Training with Thanissara and Kittisaro. Her personal daily practice includes sitting, tea ceremony, Qigong, and chanting. She has a particular interest in devotional expression of the Dharma and bringing it alive to people and beings in health or creative crises.
She considers her Qigong offerings as an expression of her gratitude for her teacher, a 64th generation Taoist Master named Chang Yi Hsiang, who initiated her journey into contemplative arts, meditation, and Qigong practice at a young age, and encouraged her to study and practice healing Qigong as the bedrock of her personal and healing practice.
