Through gentle Qigong movement, mindful breathing, imaginative exploration, and playful interaction, we will deepen our capacity to sense and move with this river of life while cultivating vitality, balance, embodied awareness, and the body’s innate capacity for healing and self-regulation. Our practice will explore the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi, and Shen (精炁神)—embodied essence, life energy, and luminous awareness—through both structured Qigong forms and spacious opportunities for spontaneous movement.
