Laurence Mercier - in English

🌟 A Rare and Extraordinary Event in Montreal! 🌟

On March 14–15, 2026, Yuan Tze, the founder of my Qi Gong school (Ren Xue), will offer a retreat in Montreal for the very first time! 🙌

The retreat will take place at the Casa d’Italia, right across from Jean-Talon metro station. It will be taught in Mandarin, with English and French translation.

💥 Registration just opened… and over twenty people have already signed up within the first hour! 😲

If you’ve ever wanted to meet a true Qi Gong master in person, this is your chance — Yuan Tze recently announced that he will soon stop offering international retreats.

✨ It will be a rare, deeply transformative experience — and it’s very affordable too (only $259)!

🚀 Don’t miss this unique opportunity!

✨ Times are changing! ✨

When I started teaching mindfulness meditation over 10 years ago, it wasn’t easy to find businesses or organizations open to it. Back then, few people really knew what mindfulness was or how it could benefit their teams.

Fast forward to today — mindfulness is now widely recognized and valued in the workplace. 💛

The same journey has been unfolding with Qi Gong. For a long time, most people had never even heard of it, and I couldn’t get much traction bringing it into organizations... until last week!

I offered my first Qi Gong workshop in a corporate setting, and the response was wonderful. Since then, I’ve already received two new requests from organizations interested in offering Qi Gong to their teams. 🌿

Here’s the beautiful testimonial I received from Natural Resources Training Group after last week’s session:

Dear Laurence,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful virtual introduction to Qi Gong session you provided. Your expertise and guidance made the session both enlightening and enjoyable for everyone involved. Your ability to explain the concepts and techniques clearly and engagingly truly stood out, and it was evident that you are passionate about what you do.

Our team left the session feeling refreshed and motivated to incorporate Qi Gong into our daily routines. We are already seeing the benefits of the practice in terms of relaxation and focus. I would wholeheartedly recommend your Qi Gong sessions to anyone looking to improve their well-being and mindfulness.

Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and energy with us.

Best wishes,

Caroline

So grateful to witness this growing openness toward holistic well-being at work. 🙏

🎉 Thrilled to share that I've completed Level 5 of my Qi Gong teacher training! 🌟 Only one more to go! Each level requires so much dedication and effort, and reaching this milestone feels like a big achievement. Grateful for the journey so far and excited for what’s ahead. 💪✨

(Did you notice the date on my certificate? Tomorrow? Haha! That’s because the certificate is issued in New Zealand, and they’re a day ahead!)

This week, I had the pleasure of leading a Lunch & Learn session on managing stress at Amilia in Montreal! We explored simple, practical tools to boost wellness both at work and at home, helping participants find more balance in their daily lives. 💆‍♀️✨

Read the enthusiastic testimonial from Lise Thibodeau, PhD, Deputy Director at Natural Resources Canada (a Government of Canada office):

"Laurence Mercier’s virtual meditation (virtual) session at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) was a tremendous success! Her unique approach, which catered to a diverse group of 30 to 40 attendees with varying levels of expertise and backgrounds, truly stood out. Whether participants were PhD holders, technical experts, or professionals from different fields, the session was universally appreciated and enjoyed.
Laurence’s ability to engage participants from all walks of life, combined with her clear and effective delivery, made the guided meditation experience both accessible and impactful. For many first-timers, it was a great discovery and a very positive experience. We received glowing feedback from all around. NRCan’s leadership valued this innovative addition, and we’re excited to consider similar sessions for future retreats and events.
A big thank you to Laurence for bringing such a fresh and engaging perspective to meditation. We’re delighted to have discovered this exceptional experience!"
