Meets Friday, 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.Presenter: Pennie Pries
This weekend retreat will focus on the heart (fire) energy and a little-known style of qigong. In these times of worldwide polarity and chaos, all of us, individually and collectively, could use more of the elevated frequency of loving-kindness. A variety of qigong movements, instruction and group discussions will be incorporated as we learn ways to strengthen loving-kindness toward ourselves and how to send a ripple of that emotional frequency out into the world.
The ancient practice of qigong provides a gentle-movement experience that uses body, breath and intention to embody positive thoughts and emotions. Pennie will demonstrate and share clear instructions on how to perform the exercises. The sessions will allow you to release stress and anxiety, become present and grounded and increase the flow of vital energy through your body. The qigong practice can help transform emotional and mental energies from fear, insecurity and hatred into the higher-frequency emotion of loving-kindness.
This gathering is suitable for all physical abilities, as all movements can be modified or done while seated. No previous qigong experience is necessary. A recording of many of the movements will be available once you return home.
