Introduction to Wudang Qi Gong
Sunday, October 6, with Donna Oliver
11:30am-1:30pm, $40
This lovely set is an old Qigong style from the Wudang Mountains. We will focus on the first 5 moves of the 12 move set, gently stretching and strengthening the tissues and channels for health maintenance, deeper breath, a calm mind and stress reduction. This set can be done sitting or standing.
Yoga Nidra and Meditation
Sunday, October 6, with John Campbell
2:00pm-4:00pm, $40
Yoga nidra is a meditation practice that dates back to the time of the Upanishads. Today, yoga nidra is widely used both as meditation and as a therapeutic tool for PTSD, other psychological trauma and distress. Yoga nidra is an experiential practice that produces a state of deep relaxation, similar to sleep, in which we remain aware. From this place, we experience, notice and welcome the comings and goings of different aspects and layers of the self, such as physical sensations, feelings, emotions, thoughts and beliefs. In yoga nidra, we are given the opportunity to feel past all these fluctuations and rest in stillness.
Ligaments and Fascia: A Body-Mind Centering® Approach…NEW!
Sunday, November 3, with Mariko Tanabe
10:30am–5:00pm, $65/morning only, $120/full day
Through movement, touch and meditation, discover the clarity, support and freedom that awareness and release of ligaments and fascia can bring to your movement and physical presence.
This workshop is open to bodyworkers, people with movement practices, and to all who have an interest in exploring self and the body. No previous experience is required.
Exploring Sound
Friday, December 13, with Monica Voss
1:00pm – 3:00pm, $40
Making sounds, whether deliberate or spontaneous, is a strategy the body/brain/mind uses to release stress and restore energy. In this workshop, we will practise a variety of structured and non-structured sound-making to rediscover the voice as a tool for relaxation, empowerment and self-expression.
This workshop is open to everyone.
