Next Gen Qigong
Through the simplicity of sharing the Qi, you reinforce what you already know: that we need to practice to have that restful-alert resilience. Noticing with slow natural awareness through the breath and the meaning behind the movement, you can embody healing moments. In the spirit of defining what is a healthy hospitable environment, nurturing Qi can be a gentle call to action, to move you beyond knowing the message behind the movements, to being part of THE movement: one where you are the lead energy supporting your healing environment.
(GU Faculty and Staff please note: we continue to have ongoing on-line Tuesday and Thursday class options. Please let me know if you would like to join me or check your GU Wellness Update for more).

Your Way Station
We are stopping here with healing awareness to pause for the cause -- you! This is your re-calibration station to support you for the session, the day, or the week ahead. Through mindful movement and stillness meditation, we gather what we need to continue on our way as caregivers for ourselves and one another.

Sleepy Time Qigong
How can we set the stage for deeper sleep -- our own cuppa sleepy time Qi? Are you hoping to be more open to dreams, or get that extra hour without waking? Or maybe you simply need a release from the tension of the day? Noticing with awareness through the breath and the meaning behind the movement, you can embody healing moments and use sleep as a spiritual practice. To help ease you into slow natural rest we will acknowledge gratitude at the end of the day through gentle movement, qigong meditation, self-massage, and compassionate creative care, as we share the Qi to help our transition to sleepy time zzzzzzzz!

Way with Words,
Sounds and Images
Part of the Imprint Initiative: an arts and health educational initiative.
Words, sounds, and images all serve to uplift us. During this open studio time, we create space to lead with the heart, and lead with the heart to create space. We wait for the way to open for that moment of pause. Through wu wei, or effortless effort, we tend to the healing spirit and give ourselves time for compassionate creative care.
We will begin with a contemplation, reading and/or prompt and a short moving or still meditation practice, which is all completely optional. This is your time whether it is geared towards a contemplative pause, or a creative, prayerful or meditative silence. Quiet the mind so you can journal, make music, art, pray, meditate, or read to help you uncover a healing moment, a sound, word, image, phrase — what wisdom is calling you this moment?
