Learn a complete qigong wellness routine, based on the grace and vitality of the Deer and the strength and power of the Tiger.
3 Day Training
Vitality of the Deer, Power of the Tiger
Friday, Saturday, Sunday; 9am-5pm
These gentle yet dynamic exercises are meditation in motion and connected to the Taoist quest for longevity, health, and peace.
By practicing these ancient postures and movements, we awaken an ancient part of ourselves and the Paleolithic wisdom of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. We find the spirit of the animals within, and, like them, learn how to connect to the healing power of nature.
Created by the second century doctor of Chinese medicine, Hua Tuo, the Animal Frolics are the oldest healing exercises in the world and the standard against which other qigong methods are measured.
Although practice oriented, there will also be time for discussion of Taoist self-care philosophy, including how specific foods and herbs build strong, resilient energy. The course requires no previous experience. Beginners and all levels are welcome.
