Qigong, (pronounced chee-gung), is an ancient Daoist self-healing practice which combines gentle, mindful movement with deep breathing, visualization, and sound. This practice improves the flow of Qi (energy) through your system, helps lower blood pressure, reduces stress, improves digestion and is one of the most powerful ways to bring your healing and awakening into your own hands.

In this workshop we will practice and discuss:

-- Fire Dragon Qigong ~ a simple, beautiful movement form which clears our energy channels (meridians) of pathogens and stagnant energy and opens us to the continuous connection with the Universal Qi (energy).

-- Basics of External Qi Healing ~ how to use the principles of Qigong to extend healing energy to others.

-- Fundamentals of Internal Alchemy ~ setting the foundation for the alchemy of spiritual growth.

 

For myself, Qigong has been the number one most influential practice upon my spiritual journey. I began my Qigong journey back in the mid 1990's and have watched my health improve, my emotions become more balanced and whole, and my sense of place within this universe to settle deeply into my belly. On my recent trip to China to study Qigong and the internal arts with my teacher Master Wu, I met some amazing beings who had been cultivating along this path for more than 50 years. The depth of clarity, humility, innocence and power within these souls only served to strengthen my dedication to practicing and sharing these arts with any who wish to learn. I love Qigong, and am honored to be able to share this practice with my spiritual family and friends.

Full Moon Yoga Class and Voice as Prayer Circle

Friday, August 15

The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground.
Your love
has made me sure
I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence
of your Being.
- Rumi

As the sun illuminates the face of the moon, this special Hatha yoga class will honor the full moon as a symbol of balance - a representation of both the masculine and feminine energies within the cyclic nature of life and within ourselves.

Along with a gentle asana practice to help calm our mind and work on balance within, we will explore our authentic voice through sacred song and seed syllables to honor the masculine and feminine aspects of life and ourselves. We will end with a short meditation moving from sound to silence.

Consider this time together as a gift to your Self as we join together in safe space to consider balance in our lives, and to open our body, mind, and spirit to the nurturing energy of the August full moon.

Sound Healing Sessions with Ryan

The intentional strumming of the monocord table strings, combined with the vibrations of the didjeridu, Tibetan bowls, flutes, rainstick, voice, drum, rattle and more will transport you into a realm beyond linear time and space. Combine this sonic environment with Qi healing, Reiki, and loving guidance and you are tuned up and ready for the next phase of your Being with fresh energy, light, and love filling your cells.

Prices have been reduced for the summer.
$50 for a one hour session
$65 for one and a half hour session
