🌸
And then,
she reminded me
"There may be darkness
within this world.
But inside us the light burns
brighter than you
could ever know."

❍ Join Qigong Master Glenn Tobey in finding a sanctuary within ourselves - as a necessity for healing. This workshop series is designed to help you navigate the "threat of chaos" by anchoring into your own internal stillness and developing a profound sense of purpose.

❍ Drawing from the gentle but powerful wisdom of Spring Forest Qigong, we will explore another way of living, loving, and listening—one where external chaos has limited access to your inner peace.

❍ This is a seated workshop designed to support all bodies. You are welcome to practice from a chair or on cushions on the floor. Our studio provides bolsters, blankets, cushions and chairs, ensuring you can fully settle into the experience.

❍ No prior experience with Qigong or meditation is required. All are welcome to join this circle of healing.

As the seasons turn, Kado—"the Way of the Flower"—invites us to slow down, observe, and engage with the natural world through hands-on practice. In our time together, Ed Heisler shares his nearly decade of experience to give participants a practical pathway to the simple beauty of Kado-style flower arranging.

We explore how setting flowers creates arrangements that are both beautiful and instructive to our human development. For the desirous and curious, join the optional pre-class meditation to get a taste of the state-of-being that a Zen Kado practitioner brings to their flower practice.
