John Passacantando

Inherent in the study of the internal arts are lessons taught by the natural world around us. Whether gliding along through mountain forests on cross country skis or advocating for a cleaner planet in his professional life, John is a daily practitioner of taijiquan, qigong, yoga and meditation.

His studies began over a quarter century ago in Cheng Man Ching Yang Style Tai Chi classes with John Allen, Paul Rischard and Kris Brinker. These were enhanced in qigong workshops with Daisy Lee, Roger Jahnke and Master Li Junfeng. In 2018, he became the Executive Director of the Peaceable Dragon Internal Arts Consortium.
