Zen Awakening Festival is a "transformational" music and arts festival with the main focus on TRANSFORMATION. These experiences, often unplanned, take place in any number of spaces throughout our sacred grounds. Our workshop presenters have been carefully selected by our workshop Coordinators Amber Weston, Jamie VanDemeir, as well as Katy Star in the Conscious Kids Camp, to bring you the most diverse, interactive, and thought-provoking learning opportunities.
The workshop curriculum is designed to immerse participants with a multitude of on-going programs for the whole family, such as Qigong, Yoga, Fire Arts, Permaculture, Dancing, and Sound Healing, just to name a few!
With so many presenters and workshops to engage with over 4 days, we ensure that the experience will be quite impressive!

After George Xavier Love started his private practice of Acupuncture, he met Prof. John B.Y. Lee aka Li Bing Yuan, a Taoist scholar and Qigong master. He was accepted as a student and within three years he received his Oriental Medical Doctor degree in 1984 from the Beijing Longevity & Rejuvenation Institute in Virginia.
He began teaching Qigong classes for Master Lee in 1985. In 1994 Master Lee conferred upon him the lineage of his family Qigong. He was given the name Zhenwu and made the 13th lineage holder of Qing Long Qigong. As the lineage holder he was asked to write a book and perform qigong healings that he called Medical Qigong Therapy (MQT). The responsibility of being the lineage holder required him to teach and travel so that the formerly hidden knowledge would be securely planted in the West.
