Master The
Life Force
Inside Of You
Register for the workshopLearn to feel, cultivate, and work with your own life force energy through four months of immersive training with Lee Holden; bringing modern wisdom and ancient techniques together in a practice that will keep you thriving for decades to come.
Unlock a powerful new relationship with your own energy through this inaugural program.
You already know how differently life feels when you have plenty of energy. You feel clear, grounded, and connected to yourself. You're more patient with the people in your life and more optimistic about the future.
Energy Mastery invites you to deepen the relationship with your own positive life force.
Over four months, Lee Holden will guide you through a progressive training in feeling, cultivating, and working with your life-force energy. You’ll bring breath, movement, meditation, and various awareness techniques together, learning both the tools and the principles behind them.
As your understanding grows, you’ll develop a clearer sense of what you’re experiencing, which practices to return to, and how to bring what you’ve learned into your day, and potentially the lives of others.
There is another level of life available for you.
Some days, your energy seems to carry you. Other days, you feel scattered, depleted, or unable to slow down.
You can recognize the difference. But knowing how you feel doesn’t always mean knowing what to do next.
What if you could master ways to work with those changing states?
For generations, Taoist practitioners have explored this question through the cultivation of Qi: the life force energy described in Chinese tradition.
Energy Mastery brings these ancient practices into a structured, guided experience while Lee helps you explore their meaning and understand how to practice them.
Four abilities that will enable you to thrive.
Feel Your Own Life-Force Energy
Discover how to recognize the subtle sensations associated with Qi.
Through guided exercises, you may begin noticing warmth, tingling, a gentle buzzing sensation, or a magnetic-like feeling between your hands.
Something that once seemed abstract becomes an experience you can explore for yourself.
Learn to Turn Your Energy Up or Down
Discover how to awaken your vitality when you're feeling sluggish and settle your nervous system when you're overstimulated.
Through breathwork, movement, and awareness, you'll explore practical ways to move between energized alertness and restorative calm.
Transform Stuck Energy Into Forward Momentum
Explore the ancient Taoist approach to working with emotional energy.
Discover how breath, movement, and the Five Elements can help you respond to difficult emotional experiences with greater awareness, clarity, and balance.
Rather than simply resisting how you feel, begin learning ways to work with it.
Become an Energetic Magnet
Explore how to cultivate inner stillness and vibrant life-force energy through meditation, breathwork, and Taoist awareness methodologies.
Develop a greater sense of groundedness, presence, and a quality of inner balance that magnetizes positive experiences and energy in the world around you.

You don’t have to figure out how all of this fits together on your own.
Lee has organized the training around three complete routines, supporting lessons, and a progression you’ll follow month by month. Live teaching, repeated practice, and community support give you opportunities to explore and ask questions.
