We will explore creatively through movement, journaling, art making and sharing in community. Bring along a journal, art supplies of any kind (we will also supply many), and dress in loose comfortable clothes, especially if you’re staying for Restorative Yoga and Massage afterwards This is for all levels, and no prior art, movement or yoga experience is needed.

Microcosmic Orbit TAIJI + Circling Hands QIGONG ~ Steven Cardoza ~ Sunday, April 26, 10:30am-5:30pm
A prerequisite to Daoist internal alchemy, the Microcosmic Orbit (MCO) was introduced to the western world as a seated meditation in the latter part of the 20th century. In Daoist communities in China, it was traditionally learned as part of a moving practice. Taiji Circling Hands is one of the most enduring qigong practices for that purpose. You will come away from this workshop with: a simple yet powerful single movement qigong practice ~ a profound traditional Daoist meditation ~ when combined, a time-honored practice that greatly amplifies the benefits of both, enhancing health, longevity, and spiritual cultivation, while furthering an alignment with the Dao.
