We’ve all experienced the interplay of light and dark in our lives — and within ourselves.
Yet, many of us don’t know what to do with the darkness that we see and feel on a daily basis — or how to process it and become either overwhelmed or trapped in fear, judgment, or indifference as a result.
In our attempts to avert the harsher emotions of life such as pain, loneliness, sadness, injustice, and disparity... we often inadvertently miss out on the golden nuggets that are waiting for us in the shadows.
There is a gatekeeper for this light and darkness that we all possess, however, that can bring us back into balance... and Qigong can help us access it, affirms Matthew Cohen, Qigong expert and founder of Sacred Energy Arts.
Befriending this dragon, the inner gatekeeper of our full human and spiritual potential, enables us to expand our capacity to live a full life by guiding us into the deeper meaning of our personal and collective challenges,
It allows us to move through heavy emotions toward wisdom and a deeper appreciation for the fullness of life — and the vulnerability, pain, beauty, and grace that allow us to experience it.
During this online event, you’ll explore Matthew’s potent process for befriending the dragon and increasing your capacity to live peacefully and meaningfully amidst challenge and uncertainty... stepping out of the shadow dragons of worry, fear, anger, grief, and ego toward the dragons of light — embodied peace, harmony, and your innate power.
Matthew teaches that a full life can hold all human experience. His deep and artful synthesis of Qigong, breathwork, poetry, and meditation provides us with ancient and leading-edge techniques that increase our capacity to regulate our energy — and face life with greater ease and clarity.
His signature approach includes embodiment practices that you can use to immediately identify blockages, as well as exercises that can help you move through emotions and difficult moments... and move out trapped energy.
As you become better equipped at managing your energy and holding the full experience of life, your inner power and self-awareness also grow...
... amplifying the wisdom, resilience, and harmony that exist in the interplay of light and darkness — and deepening your access to your greater potential, authenticity, and gifts.
You’ll experience this firsthand as you’re guided through the Stalking Jaguar practice... where you’ll identify a negative feeling that you’re holding — and transform it into forgiveness and love.
Matthew says that while we all struggle at some point in our lives, there are many practical ways to expand our emotional fluency and experience a more joyful, hopeful, connected, and creative way of life.
Join us to discover how Sacred Energy Arts Qigong and befriending the dragon can help you reclaim your inner power, sovereignty, and a balanced perspective on the challenging aspects of life that we all face.
You’ll also be among the first to learn of Matthew’s new 7-week live video course that will take you even deeper into the blessings of befriending the dragon through a rich fusion of Qigong, breathwork, martial arts, and meditation.

Matthew’s teaching deepened and strengthened my practice on so many levels. The rare addition of Qigong has added a profound stillness to my life and is an inspiring, moving meditation. Most teachers I’ve known articulate their knowledge in a steady and cerebral way. Matthew takes it a graceful step further by connecting that knowledge through the emotional, physical, and spiritual, and allowing it to settle without force.

Over the past five years, Matthew has become my good friend, my yoga teacher, my spiritual mentor, and my training partner. Whether I’m kicking him during our training sessions or stretching in a yoga pose in his class, I always feel present when I’m in Matthew’s company. I recommend Matthew to anyone who seeks to strengthen his or her physical and spiritual muscles.

Matthew Cohen is one of the most inspiring teachers on my yoga journey. I feel very lucky to have taken his training and have had the privilege to assist his teacher training many times since. He keeps inspiring me and delivering rich knowledge. Matthew’s teaching draws from multiple methods and wisdom. He is very creative and motivates and challenges the body’s potential. His teacher training offers a full range of teaching skills, and I consider his training to be one of the “must take” trainings if you want to become an excellent yoga teacher!
