Big international Qi Gong & Taijiquan events 2025
I really enjoy connecting with fellow Taijiquan and Qi Gong practitioners from all over the world. That’s actually why I’ve chosen to write my blog in English—even though German is my mother tongue.
So far, I haven’t had the chance to attend a major conference or a large push hands gathering, but it’s definitely something I’d love to experience. And with so many exciting Taijiquan and Qi Gong events lined up for 2025, maybe this will be the year!
For this list, I decided to focus on large international gatherings—events that bring people together across cultures and countries. To keep things simple, here are the criteria I used to select them:
- At least 3 days in duration
- A minimum of 3 different teachers or instructors
- English-speaking participants welcome, or translation available (especially if the event is in a non-English-speaking country)
With events happening in beautiful and inspiring locations, why not plan your next vacation around one? Browse through the options and pick the one that excites you most—there’s truly something for everyone in the international Qi Gong and Taijiquan community.
And if you know about other events that match my criteria, feel free to write me an eMail!
