Organizations & Teams
Wellness that
works at work.
Qigong and live sound for teams in Lancaster County and beyond.
Embodied Wisdom Institute brings Qigong and sound meditation to workplaces, nonprofits, schools, and community groups. Sessions are practical and low intensity, built for real people in work clothes. No experience or flexibility required.
When people feel regulated and present, they think more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and stay longer. Wellness isn't soft. It's structural. Jason Jacobs · Qigong Instructor, 20+ years in L&D
Services & Pricing
What we bring to your team
Flat event pricing for 60 or 90 minute sessions. No travel fees anywhere in Lancaster County. Outside the county, we add $1.25 per mile, round trip from our Lancaster studio.
Onsite Qigong
$200
per 60 minute event
$300 for 90 minutes
Slow, standing or seated movement and breath that people can repeat at their desks. Works in a conference room, break room, or outdoors.
Onsite Sound Meditation
$350
per 60 minute event
$525 for 90 minutes
Live bowls, chimes, and gongs, with the intensity set for your group. Every instrument is packed, transported, set up, and broken down for you.
Qigong & Sound
$400
per 60 minute event
$600 for 90 minutes
Gentle movement to settle the body, followed by live sound to let it rest. Our favorite format for offsites and staff days.
- A planning conversation by email about your group, space, and goals
- Careful packing and transport of all instruments
- Setup and a sound check before your group arrives
- The live session, with intensity chosen for your group
- Full breakdown afterward
- No travel fee anywhere in Lancaster County
Monthly or weekly sessions build a real habit, and a one time event rarely does. Ask about recurring sessions, virtual Qigong, and private groups at our studio.
Who We Work With
Teams carrying a lot.
We work best with organizations where at least one leader believes people's well being is connected to how well the organization runs, and wants to act on it.
- HR and people teams building wellness programming beyond basic benefits
- Leadership teams planning offsites and retreats
- Healthcare and helping professions where staff carry heavy emotional loads
- Schools and nonprofits where mission and burnout often travel together
- Community groups and events looking for something people will remember

- Step 3
We show up ready
We arrive early, set up, lead the session, and leave the room the way we found it.
What we'll need from you
- A quiet room with a door that closes
- For sound: chairs or mats for everyone, provided by your organization, or participants can bring their own
- For sound: about 30 minutes of access to the room before start time for setup
- For Qigong: enough open space for everyone to stand with their arms out, plus chairs for anyone who'd like to sit
Nice to have
Participants always appreciate eye masks for sound sessions and water afterward. Your organization can provide them, or let participants know to bring their own.
We don't supply seating, mats, eye masks, or water for onsite events, so we'll include a short checklist in your proposal to make planning easy.

Questions
For organizations
How is pricing calculated?
Each event has a flat price. Onsite Qigong is $200 for 60 minutes or $300 for 90. Onsite sound meditation is $350 for 60 minutes or $525 for 90. Qigong and sound together is $400 for 60 minutes or $600 for 90.
Can you come to our location?
Yes. There's no travel fee anywhere in Lancaster County. We're happy to travel beyond the county too, with mileage added at $1.25 per mile, round trip from our Lancaster studio.
What do participants need for a sound session?
A chair or mat to rest on, provided by your organization or brought by each participant. Eye masks and water are always appreciated, and your organization can supply them or let people know to bring their own. We bring all the instruments.
Do people need to lie on the floor?
No. Qigong can be done standing or seated, and sound works well in chairs. Mats are an option for anyone who'd rather lie down.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, for Qigong. Sound is best experienced in person, since the vibration is part of what people feel.
What does the price include?
Planning, the session itself, travel within Lancaster County, and for sound, the packing, transport, setup, sound check, and breakdown of every instrument.
How do we get started?
