About Wendy Lang

Wendy Lang’s mission is to help people awaken their innate capacity for healing, intuition, spiritual vision, wisdom, and real transformation.

For more than 35 years, Wendy has guided students and clients in the healing and intuitive arts. She is an internationally respected teacher, healer, and speaker with deep expertise in Medical Qigong, Shamanic Chinese Medicine, channeling, mediumship, Light Body Meditation, space clearing, and energy healing.

Wendy is the founder and lead teacher of Empty Mountain Institute, where she offers in-depth trainings in Shamanic Chinese Medicine, Medical Qigong, Channeling and Mediumship, Light Body Meditation, and transformational retreats. She has taught the International Institute of Medical Qigong’s three-year practitioner training for over 16 years and has helped thousands of students develop advanced healing skills, intuitive awareness, and spiritual connection.

Her private healing practice includes in-person and distance sessions supporting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. She also offers channeled guidance, works with animals, and provides energetic clearings for homes, businesses, and properties.

Wendy’s teaching path began in 1988 with an intensive eight-month retreat at Silent Ground Retreat Center with Minke de Vos. She later became an advanced instructor in the Healing Tao and Universal Tao systems. Her studies include Medical Qigong with Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson beginning in 1998, as well as extensive training in acupressure, bodywork, hypnotherapy, Reiki, meditation, and holistic health.

Since 1996, Wendy has also been a devoted student and teacher of the Orin and DaBen Light Body teachings. She is a member of the advanced Discovery and Seed Groups and serves on the Board of Directors of the Orin DaBen Foundation.

Wendy is also the creator of the Sacred Images of Tibet series, published by Amber Lotus, which helped raise funds for the Tibetan Lama Fund.

Based in San Anselmo, California, Wendy teaches an international community through live online programs, in-person trainings, and retreats. Her work integrates Chinese medicine, energy healing, meditation, channeling, and spiritual development into a practical path of healing, awakening, and embodied higher consciousness.

SHARON LEES

I have studied Light Body meditation for over 30 years, training with Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. Since completing the Radiance Transmitting Light teacher’s course in 1993, I’ve been teaching Awakening Your Light Body and related classes. With a background in adult education, I remain an active member of Radiance Transmitting Light Teachers’ groups. Meditation and higher consciousness exploration are my passions, and I’m dedicated to helping others experience the profound transformation this work offers.

Co-founder

PHILLIP WEBER 1956 - 2013

It may seem unusual to have a bio of someone who has passed on.  Phillip is extraordinarily present in all the classes.  Students comment on how they feel his presence supporting them in their studies and explorations.  Phillip was a student of Light Body Meditation for 25 years. He was a part of the original group to explore and develop these energies and skills and was a member of the Advanced Meditation Groups. He taught numerous Light Body meditation and Opening to Channel classes and gave personal channeled sound sessions as well as channeled readings. His teachers in developing skills in meditation were Duane Packer and Sanaya Roman (originators of the Awakening the Light Body).
