Reiki + Sound Bath

Highland Peaks Retreat

October 5 · 6–7 PM

Join Courtney Bowker of Heart of Qi and Meghan Gaillour for an intentional evening of deep rest, energetic renewal, and Sound Healing.

This special collaboration brings together Reiki and Sound Healing, creating a gentle invitation to the body and a graceful return to stillness, presence, and restoration. Simply settle in, slow down, and allow yourself to receive.

What exactly is “Qi”

Pronounced "chee," Qi is an ancient Chinese word that describes the vital life force believed to animate all living things. For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong, and other Eastern healing arts have viewed Qi as the subtle energy that flows through the body, supporting balance, movement, vitality, and overall well-being.

While modern science does not define Qi as a measurable physical substance, many people relate to the idea through everyday experiences—the energizing feeling after a walk in nature, the calm that follows a deep breath, or the sense of being either "drained" or "full of life."

Qigong (literally meaning "the cultivation of Qi") is a gentle practice of mindful movement, breath, and awareness designed to encourage a healthy and balanced flow of this life force. Reiki, a Japanese healing art, shares this same understanding through the word Ki, which comes from the same ancient Chinese concept.

At Heart of Qi, the word Qi represents more than a philosophy. It is an invitation to reconnect with your breath, your body, and the quiet intelligence that already exists within you. Whether you experience it as energy, vitality, presence, or simply a deep sense of peace, the intention is the same—to cultivate greater balance, resilience, and connection in everyday life.

  • "She is deeply intuitive, soft spoken, gentle in her manner and wise beyond her years. She and I spoke for a while as I explained what was going on in my body. She listened calmly, questions were posed, insights received and she went to work. During the session I felt my body being gently realigned. What had felt like ‘missing pieces’ were being recalled and finding their place. I felt safe, with an inner knowing that my soul was being tended. I received a level of healing that was much more than I will ever fully understand. I was witnessed and seen without judgement. This work is subtle, powerful and deeply transformative. After a couple of days of rest and integration I felt regenerated. Inner harmony had returned to my body and my life force energy was restored."

  • "I had the opportunity to do a distance reiki session with Courtney and the experience was magical! We first connected on zoom and she tapped into my energy and set the tone. we then hopped off zoom and she got to work as I laid in my space and allowed her to connect with me energetically. I had lots of releases in yawns n coughing and even had my hands being to raise on their own and connect with the healing happening! She called me afterwards and we discussed the session and her notes! Totally recommend and i’m sure in person is even more magical!!"
