An event every week that begins at 8:00 am on Saturday, repeating indefinitely
Join us for Zazen from 8-8:30, followed by Qigong from 8:30 to 9.
Relax. Breathe. Move.
Join us in the ancient practice of harmonizing body and mind using simple, easy to follow meditation in motion. You will learn breathing techniques that generate free- flowing energy in the spirit of non achieving. and removing hindrances for health benefits.

Shibashi (19 movements, also considered the Tai Chi of Qigong.}

All are welcome. No experience necessary.
This event is now on Zoom only.
A Poem About Qigong
by student Elizabeth Fitterer
You remember vaguely,
the circling.
How simple it is,
yet how intricate.
Like, if you were a bird,
this is how you might move.
Like a creature who,
when she has someplace to go,
picks herself up then goes there.
And when she lands
she folds herself into herself
in just a few well-rehearsed motions.
And when she sleeps
the rain beads right off of her feathers
like tears she doesn’t need anymore.
