RSVP for Releasing, Accepting, Allowing

media release: This autumn Qigong workshop will help you align with the energies of the season. Join us as we practice simple yet powerful Qigong movements designed to cultivate our ability to allow in the blessings of our labors, accept our current situation and release grief and sadness.

Learn practices that you can perform at home to boost your immunity, calm your nervous system, and improve overall circulation. Leave feeling refreshed with calm energy for what lies ahead. All ability levels welcome. Can be performed standing or seated in casual attire. Please come prepared to do a short portion of the workshop outdoors, weather permitting.

*Qigong (Chee-gong) is an ancient form of moving meditation that uses flowing movements, breath exercises, meditation and self-massage. As a holistic health or “whole being” practice, it addresses all of who you are: mind, body, and spirit.
