Morning Meditation and Qi Gong

Tuesdays and Fridays, 8:00-9:15 am
 
Preceded with a half-hour meditation period at 7:30, qi gong continues at The Whole Health Center this winter and spring.  Cultivating awareness, flexibility and vital energy through integrating the dimensions of body, breath and mind; and drawing on meditations, gentle movement, and muscle/tendon exercises from several qi gong traditions. We are currently using the last part of the class to teach a short Shaolin kung fu form called Wu Xing Zhuang.

Cost: $15 per class, or $25 for two classes in the same week. Participants may come on a class-by-class basis, although there will be a continuity of learning.

Monday evenings, 6:30-8:45

This long-running meditation and support group has openings for its winter season beginning January 12.  Beginning with a half hour of meditation, we then open it up to a good deal of warm and purposeful sharing in circle and in dyads.  This winter we will be reviewing a whole sequence of practices for cultivating awareness, connectedness, and conscious loving presence.

Cost: $25 weekly for a three-month commitment.
