WORKSHOPS
For the first New Moon of the year:
Recharge Contemplate Concentrate
Jan 16, 5-7 PM (online only)
Sat and Sun, Jan 17, 18 (in-person and online)
This workshop aims to deepen the work from the December workshop. It can also be attended independently.
Connecting the depth of our being to the spirit.
Or concentrate the vital force into the intuitive mind and upper glandular system.
This is a deep cultivation of the Jing 精, or essence, of our physical being through the kidneys.
We will practice Do Yin, a series of floor exercises that fuse our Heart/Fire and Kidney/Water elements to open the Kidney Fire at the Ming Men 命 門 or Gate of Life acupuncture point to relax, and strengthen the spoas muscle, also called ’Soul Muscle.’ The psoa is key to spinal health and fluid alignment.
We will learn to store energy in the Lower Tan Tien, the container of Water energy, to relate to the sustainability of our being through our Will Power, nourishing a constant mind.
Meditation will lead us to explore the depth of water energy and its mirror-like clarity.
We will also explore movement through the physical/emotional/energetic modalities of our being, guided by the associations that the dynamic agent of water offers in the Chinese Five Element Theory, as an intimate experience.
REGISTRATION: Tier 1: $350, Tier 2: $280, Tier 3: $220.

CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE (online only)
These are a series of meditation sessions aligned with the new moon cycles. It is said that the new moon is a good time to reset our motivation and cultivate it daily during the waxing moon. These sessions offer contemplative guidance to help individuals access the immediacy of the mind at rest. These sitting sessions include simple perceptive instructions and the contemplation of Taoist and Buddhist texts.
