What are we about?

We offer online Qigong courses, Mentorship, Yin Yoga and Qigong Trainings, Silent Qigong retreats worldwide.

Nosco is a Latin word meaning “I come to know” or “I learn.” It shares a spiritual kinship with the Greek term gnosis, which refers to deep, intuitive knowledge—especially of spiritual mysteries. The Gnostics, early mystics in both pre-Christian and Christian traditions, sought truth not through doctrine or text, but through direct experience of the numinous. Through ritual, listening, and embodied practice, they embraced the paradox of humility: by admitting they knew nothing, they opened themselves to true knowing.

Nosco Learning is a community network devoted to the exploration of the spiritual and emotional life as a path to energetic healing. Through Qigong, Yin Yoga, and women’s health offerings, Nosco Learning provides classes, courses, and trainings that foster curiosity, humility, and lifelong learning.

Stephanie Nosco

Hi, I’m Stephanie—teacher, writer, and lifelong student of the healing arts. Nosco means “to come to know” in Latin, a name I chose during a pivotal life transition. Only later did I learn its etymology—and how fitting it was for my path of embodied learning and spiritual inquiry.

Rooted in Qigong, Chinese medicine, Yin Yoga, and Buddhist meditation, my work is shaped by a deep reverence for nature, mystery, and transformation. I live on Vancouver Island with my husband and cat, surrounded by ocean and forest, where cedar trees, ravens, and rivers continue to be my most consistent teachers.

I’m deeply grateful to have studied with many wise guides, including Lorie Eve Dechar, Benjamin Fox, Ken Cohen, Wendy Lang, Thanissara, Kittisaro, and Sarah Powers. Their teachings, and those of their lineages, live through the practices I now share.

I’m also the author of Follow Your Tao (Hachette UK, 2024), a heartfelt guide to understanding Chinese medicine for everyday life.

Nosco Learning is a space for courses, trainings, retreats, and one-on-one work, all designed to support your journey of remembering, healing, and reconnecting—through body, spirit, and breath.
