Grandmaster Hong founded the Kauai Qi Center in 2004 as a place for the community to enhance their health and well-being through Natural Healing programs. This all-volunteer organization continues to grow and reach more people each year. 
Herbal Patching at the Summer Respiratory Event More than 7,500 people have benefited from the free humanitarian services offered by the organization. In both winter and summer, the Uplifting Immunity and Respiratory Events provide the community with gentle exercises to influence their immune system, herbal patching for all of those who attend, and sampling of healing food and teas for greater health and longevity. 
Gloria Nakea and others practice the Sitting 12 exercises in the Kapuna class. Throughout the week, the Qi Center offers beginner and advanced Qi Gong classes, including the Free Senior program which provides classes three times a week including services for the Anahola Kupunas who are bussed in for their weekly practice. 
Dora Hong teaches the monthly cooking class. The popular Natural Cooking classes, taught by Dora Hong, have expanded from quarterly to every other week. Master Hong stresses the importance that "Food is our best medicine," and these classes provide practical tools to allow everyone to easily integrate healing foods into their daily diet. After retirement from a career as a school principle, Dora has brought new life and energy to the Qi Center with her vibrant spirit. Each year, everyone is brought together at the Anniversary celebration, which has become a celebration of energy. Natural Healing has been the common bond that has brought hundreds and thousands together here in Kauai and beyond. When people gather with the common interest of wanting to live a happy, healthy, and balanced life, this energy naturally spreads and touches people in unimaginable ways. Volunteers, who share their energy, commitment, and love have truly become the heart and soul of the Qi Center which has created the warm welcome and love at the center, expanding throughout the island, country and world.
