Teaching Testimonials
“Mark's classes have impacted the fundamental way in which I perceive every treatment session. Whether I am using needles or bodywork, I am more conscious of the energetic dynamics of the collective life force pervasively expressing itself through myself, the client and living world around us. The more attention we give that breath of life, the more our clients are drawn to also give it attention and then the more they are drawn toward internal peace and increased balance. It has been an epiphany to look for health instead of pathology and disease.”
- Mark Garner; acupuncturist, massage therapist.
I greatly appreciated Mark’s mature and sophisticated synthesis of so many interconnected disciplines in the spiritual and healing arts, which he wisely embodied and skillfully articulated throughout the weekend. To weave together the psychophysiological complexity and mystical profundity of the spine along with cutting-edge fascial system science, while applying the nuances of “listening” and “release” to accessible and tangibly effective treatment strategies was no small feat. And to place all of that in the reverential context of the natural world in this time of unprecedented crisis and transformation felt especially potent and meaningful.

“For students who are serious about developing intentionality with their bodywork practice and what it means to touch bodies, along with developing an evolving skill set, this is the class for you. As a practitioner of bodywork and body movement practices for over three decades, Mark is the only teacher that I’ve come across that brings the two together in a cohesive and effective manner.
Mark invites our attention and intention into the Field ….where all healing is possible. These teachings have strong roots in the science of healing as well as with our foundational connection and relationship with Nature, and with the inherent healing capacity of being human.

“Through EarthPrayers, Mark Jensen brings ancient wisdom to this present precarious moment in Earth-time, reminding us of our essential, embodied role in the magical dance between Heaven & Earth, and giving us the gift of remembering who we truly are.”
-Megan Toben, Co-founder and Director The Eco-Institute at Pickard’s Mountain.”
“The Earth Prayers practice is simple and profound. It fosters connection with the Earth and gives rise to a sense of a deeper reality, a remembering of an ancient way of being and knowing that we are all part of Earth so that we can call on her in these troubling and confusing times. For such a big man, Mark has a very gentle way about him. He walks his talk and is a model Elder in his work with youth at our institute. Mark’s wisdom arises from a place of continual learning, exploration and personal practice.”
-Frank J Phoenix, Social Entrepreneur and Teacher
“My weekend workshop with Mark was one of the most formative experiences I have had while on my journey of becoming a healer. Mark helped create an engaged, flexible, and safe space for us to learn about our shared interest and his depth of knowledge, experience, and his passion is so deep. He balanced preparedness and agenda with flow and the natural rhythm of our learning very well. This workshop was truly life changing and I will take every opportunity to learn from Mark in the future.”
- James Copp, Daoist Traditions Student
“Through Dragon Flow, Mark brings to light the essence of healing through these trying times: heart, humility and a steadiness that beckons others to explore deeper terrain. Wading farther out than one could alone, Mark not only shared tangible tools to bring home and practice, but also supported the unfoldment of each person’s unique gifts and intuitive process working with bodies.”
- David Fay, DT Student, Lotus Nei Gong Practitioner
The Dragon Flow class has completely changed the way I practice both Chinese Medicine, and Qi gong. I feel like I have been awakened to a deep and ancient knowledge that has profound implications for both humanity and the Earth. Everything has deepened--even my perception of myself. My patients are responding to the lightest touch in amazing ways–all have commented on how different their acupuncture treatments were after receiving a simple rooted resonance to connect them to their fascial bodies. This class was life-changing!
