Cosmological Qigong: Awareness, Understanding & Imagination

Through a Daoist lens, we will explore the five elements within your body and how they meet the five elements of existence.

The body is born open and connected. Yet, through early life experience, we often learn to mistrust and collapse in the face of difficulty. Practice is where we learn—or remember—how to meet the full spectrum of life with an open and available breath, body, and spirit. It is where we reclaim our inherent trust in the web of life and become receptive to the lessons it offers.

In this session:

• Deepen your sense of embodied presence.
• Be nourished in the source of your creation.
• Open the antenna of your body, heart, and mind.
• Cultivate your internal energies and explore how they transform into external gestures—ones that can, with ever greater artistry, touch the textures of your relationships, work, and community.
