SUMMER SERIES:
QIGONG & NEIGONG TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
SUMMER’S ABUNDANCE & THE FIRE ELEMENT
Free Introduction May 5 ~ 7:00-8:30pm
12-week series May 12 – July 28~ 7:00-8:30pm
(On Zoom)
THE RETURNING YANG OF SPRING GROWS AND WARMS INTO THE FIREY LIGHT OF SUMMER. It is the time of abundance and even excessive Qi. The world is bright and green and full of fruit and flowers.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GROW YOUR QI AND STRENGTHEN YOUR ENERGY… but in the wise and grounded way of the Tao. We will continue with the SHAOLIN BA DUAN JIN (8 BROCADES) to learn its nuances and to use its sweeping movements and deep postures to our best advantage. We will add IRON SHIRT QIGONG to cultivate our “Iron Shirt” protection and a strong center with roots into the Earth. But even though we are full of Yang Qi, we must not abandon the power of Yin and Inner work.
Beause the Light and Energies of Summer inspire us to activity and production, we will close class with the Inner Alchemy of the MICROCOSMIC ORBIT to balance and settle the energies and guide ourselves into a cooler, quieter state. We will also bring in TAO DREAM PRACTICE to further balance Summer’s pace.
OTHER SUMMERTIME QIGONG:
We will use the full SHAMANIC SHAKING practice that moves through the whole body loosening and releasing stagnation and stuck Qi, and TU GU NA XIN and 8 MUDRAS IN * DIRECTIONS to connect to the directions of the Earth. We’ll use GOLDEN BALL QIGONG and others from MEDICAL QIGONG to gather and align ourselves with the Qi Field and bring in Qi.
Sounds like a lot! But we’ll lay the groundwork for the practices and ideas in the free-intro first classes. then build on those through the rest of the series.

The Free Introductory Class offers both a “taste” of the upcoming series and a practice drawn from the curriculum. It is not simply a “sales pitch”, and you are welcome to join even if you cannot attend the series.
INCLUDED IN ALL COURSES:
–Abundant written materials provide background and support.
––Privately posted videos of all Classes Private Links emailed to participants on Monday/Tuesday. Allowing you to view missed classes and use them for practice on your own. Access is permanent.
–Missed Class ‘Catch-up’:Optional 15-minute zoom with me for Q&A etc.
We have shifted to a longer, 12-week format to better move with the seasons and include Qigong and Neigong practices that take advantage of the seasonal energies and support practices that balance, heal and strengthen us. This longer format will allow us to spend more time with the core practices and go deeper into ‘owning’ them and our cultivations as well.
NEW QIGONG CLASS ON TUESDAY EVENINGS:
One Tuesdays, beginning April 23 (free intro) an 1-hour “Qigong Practice” class will begin. It will include a monthly in-person class (April 30) with the other 3 weeks on Zoom. The Qigong practices will align with those in the Sunday class. It’s a great opportunity to take your Qigong deeper and get more guided practice in between Sundays… Or if you only wish to practice Qiong you can take this class on its own.Check the Tuesday Qigong page in the menu.
