UPCOMING PUBLIC EVENTS

 Improve posture, coordination, and strength with yi quan, a comprehensive qigong style based on standing and moving meditations, with Michael J. Gelb, who learned Yi Quan directly from Grandmaster Ken Cohen.

Enjoy this renowned and comprehensive system of healing exercises and meditations, the legacy of Master Wang Xiangzhai. Because of its extraordinary attention to posture, movement, breathing, and mindfulness, Yi Quan teaches the vocabulary upon which all qigong is based.

You learn:

• How to stand and move like the eagle, bear, tiger, and turtle to promote mind/body harmony
• How to experiment with energy to encourage flow and creativity
• Simple routines to improve your ability in any sport
• Yi Quan Somatic Therapy to help a client or friend improve posture, coordination, and body awareness
• Yi Quan Healing Imagery to relax, develop core strength, and connect with the qi (life energy) of the cosmos

There also will be time for discussion of the philosophy and science of qigong and inspiring stories of the old masters. Beginners are welcome.

 Energize yourself in the creative flow of qi with three experts who have 100 years of combined experience in Chinese energy healing.

For thousands of years, adepts have shown how cultivating, storing, and expressing qi—the vital energy of life—can improve health and vitality, increase resilience and creativity, and promote overall well-being. In this Super Qi Weekend, you'll raise your baseline of this vital energy with three modern masters: author and innovator Michael Gelb, qigong and tai chi expert Ken Cohen, and qigong master Robert Peng.

This unique workshop is a living demonstration of the creative flow of qi as Michael, Robert, and Ken inspire and energize you, and one another, through their collaborative, joyful, and spontaneous approach to teaching.
