Current & Upcoming
Classes & Retreats
I teach small group classes regularly. Below is a (hopefully up to date) listing of current and upcoming offerings. My weekly classes moved onto zoom with COVID and since then, students come from out of the area, so I’ve kept it on zoom. I offer a free class at the beginning of each series and post these publicly on YouTube. The many materials, summaries and recordings of each class of a series are gathered on a Doc and are permanently available to students. While I do not accept drop-ins, I offer students 20 minutes with me to supplement the video for missed classes.
Autumn into Winter – Sunday Series
(Zoom) 7:00-8:30pm (eastern)
October 14: Free Intro Class
October 18 – December 29: 10 class Series
The brilliance of Summer gradually gives way to the quieter light of Autumn. The days shorten, the air becomes clear and crisp, and the Earth begins to gather its energy inward.
In the Taoist tradition, Autumn is the season of Metal—a time of refinement, discernment and release. We are invited to let experience distill us, to release what has completed its cycle, and to return to what is essential. Follow the links below to register… but here’s a link to read more about the series and what we’ll learn together:
Autumn In-Person Weekend at Stony Point
November 15-17
A Taoist Qigong & Neigong Weekend Retreat
As Autumn deepens, the world begins to change.
The leaves have fallen. The days are shorter. The light is lower and quieter. What was vibrant and outward-moving through Summer has gradually been gathered back toward the roots.
In the Taoist seasonal calendar, 立冬 (Lìdōng), the Beginning of Winter, marks this profound turning point. It is not simply the arrival of cold weather, but a shift in the energetic rhythm of the natural world: growth slows, resources are gathered and stored, and life begins to conserve itself for the months ahead. Follow the link below to read about what we’ll do together and Stony Point Center… I hope you can join us!
Winter into Spring Series 2027
Winter into Spring 2027
Free class January 17
Series: January 24 – March 28
WINTER is the Elemental Season of STILLNESS, the NORTH, the NIGHT, the COLD and WATER. It is the season of conserving our resources, turning inward, gathering our strength and tending the deep reserves that sustain us.
But by late Winter, something begins to change.
Beneath the apparent stillness, Spring is already gathering itself. The days lengthen. The first stirrings begin underground. What has been resting and consolidating begins to move outward again.
This series follows that transition—from the deep inwardness of Winter toward the burgeoning expansion of Spring.
