About the teacher
My name is Hidde Smeijsters, born and raised in the Netherlands and currently living in Portugal. After many changes and shifting perspectives, I discovered Chi Neng Qi Gong. I came across it in a course about the transformation of energy, and it sparked my interest. I soon discovered a wonderful school, the Chi Neng Qigong Institute in Arnhem, the Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to learn how to teach as an instructor under the support of lovely teachers.
Throughout my life, I have also embraced various passions. For over fifteen years, I played the trumpet, starting with a fanfare band and later joining a joyful all-round brass band. I have practiced Judo for a time, which taught me discipline and focus. I enjoy fishing, as it allows me to immerse myself in nature; fishing is like a ticket to enjoy the great outdoors. I also have a passion for goldsmithing, which has been my craft for nearly twenty years. Additionally, I find joy in carpentry, building, and simply creating things.
To me, Qi Gong feels like a whole new dimension: meditation in motion. A new world opened up for me, and I experience more balance, increased energy, and improved health, making it a true catalyst in my journey toward discovering awareness.
