Vibrant Silence: Qigong and Meditation

Our awareness of energy both expands and becomes more subtle as we deepen into relaxation.

The ancient Chinese practice of Qigong, often translated as “cultivating Life Force”, is a system of movement that relaxes and energizes the body/mind. You will find this form “Wai Dan Gong” easy to learn and a powerful means of  experiencing  Life Force in and around you. We will enjoy moving on the Earth, under the heavens, while gazing at the Pacific. Wai Dan Gong is an excellent preparation for sitting, walking and standing meditation.  Saturday morning will be held as a retreat, we will keep noble silence until lunch. At other times we will share with compassion and humor our experiences of riding the wild waves of the mind.

In this rejuvenating weekend we will explore:

• the 25 movements of Wai Dan Gong.
• sitting meditation (you may sit in a chair, 20 minutes maximum).
• walking and standing meditations.
• gentle meridian stretches.
• a full body self massage routine.

Please come ready to enjoy a deep sense of ease and an expanded sense of the energy body.
