Thomas Droge is a QiGong teacher, healer, acupuncturist and bodyworker. He’s the closest to Dr. Strange of a person that I’ve come across IRL.

A personal teacher and mentor of mine, he has a captivating and expanded view of the world, which he generously shares in this conversation.

In this unfiltered conversation, we discuss:

• How to cultivate energy in your physical and spiritual consciousness
• How to realign your body with its natural frequency
• Understanding how to read people’s energy
• How early life traumatic experiences led Thomas to doing what he does today
• The differences between Tai Chi, QiGong and Tantra
• How Daoist wisdom applies to entrepreneurship
• How to not undermine your own value
• How to align your rates as a consultant/entrepreneur with your internal state
• A hack to shift your energetic state in a moment of conflict
• A way to connect with nature as soon as you wake up
• What is a sweat lodge?
• Winter solstice rituals
• The healing power of storytelling

Thomas Droge is a classically trained acupuncturist, herbalist, teacher and author. He has dedicated his life to studying and teaching the healing practices of energy cultivation, conscious movement, internal alchemy and the Daoist path to peace.  Thomas has devoted the past 27 years to distilling these practices into a a process of transformational Qi Gong called Pathfinding. 

Pathfinding  means walking each step of your life in conscious freedom. It is the key to the power, spontaneity, and passion that comes from continuously attending to the present moment.

“It is my life's work to bring these teachings and skills to as many people as possible in the most direct and attainable way, so that they may discover the freedom, clarity, and open-hearted living that exists for all of us”.

Thomas has studied at the University of Colorado,  Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, Harvard’s mind body medicine program, Jiang Xi College in mainland China, and is a dedicated disciple of the Hidden Immortal lineage.

His depth of knowledge translates into a  compassionate conversation of  conscious movement, awakened action and carefully crafted tools to navigate one’s path.

“Through stillness and observation we can walk the inner path unlocking the mystery of life.”
