In times of global tension, things can feel overwhelming and even disheartening. In this special Qigong class, we will use the power of intention to heal and clear feelings of anger and sadness, and to generate kindness, love, and peace — empowering us to extend this healing outward into the world.

In this class, you will be guided through breath, flowing movement, and meditation to help you expand into your human potential to align and embody your essential role as a bridge to world peace and the well-being of the Earth.

About the Qigong: Rooted in the Five Element (Wuxing) tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong supports the balanced flow of life-force energy (Qi) and the relationship between organ health and emotional expression.

All levels are welcome. Come as you are, and dress in clothing that allows you to move comfortably. If you’ve been feeling the emotional weight of the world lately, this practice offers a gentle way to return to kindness and harmony–beginning in your own heart and mind–and extending it outward into our shared world. We look forward to breathing and moving with you in this practice for peace.

In this stand-alone gathering, we come together to practice being witness to both our own grief as well as the grief of others. The session offers an intimate, safe container for emotions to be felt, expressed, shared and healed in the presence of community. The process involves establishing a group container, guided centering meditation, reflective journaling, mindful group sharing, and an integration at the end. You are invited to come as you are, regardless of your type of loss or how much time has passed.
