Tamara Staudt offers annual Shan Ren Dao retreats in the United States. The indescribable experience of aliveness, intimacy and “realness” that occurs within the powerful alchemy of those coming together with common purpose has become a highlight of her year since the first United States retreat in 2011.

In addition to facilitating retreats, her passion for companioning those desiring a deeper connection to their own inner wisdom and the transformation which can follow,
expresses through her private practice, practitioner mentor groups and qigong classes. Her foundational training as a naturopathic physician and classical Chinese Medicine practitioner, further informed by the teachings of Wang Fengyi, Inner Dialogue, spiritual systems and her own healing experiences, underlie her integrative approach.

The former Dean of Clinical Education at the National University of Natural Medicine, Tamara continues to serve there as a faculty member. She has taught qigong and its medical applications for over 27 years and has led retreats worldwide. The teachings of Wang Fengyi and the Shan Ren Dao have deeply interwoven into all areas of her personal and professional life since attending her first retreat in China. That retreat was and continues to be a significant and radical transformational point in her life.
