The Primal Power of Play ~ Earthgym! – Women of Wisdom Conference, 3/25

Classes, Earthgym Classes, Homepage Recent Posts

Come play and connect with our Earth with simple Earth tools – sticks and stones! Earthgym taps into our childhood passions of using outdoor play to learn from life. It’s a movement way of learning from our habitat. Sticks and stones are powerful, alchemical training tools that can be used to open doorways of transformation, aliveness, creativity & joy.  From these states of being, the Earth’s teachings and immense Qi comes pouring into our biggest musing tool, our body. Join me in this 2.5-hour workshop as part of the online Women of Wisdom Conference on Friday, March 25 from 2:30-5p PT.

Qigong & Mother Earth ~ Learning Directly from Nature – Women of Wisdom Conference, 3/14

Classes, Homepage Recent Posts, Qigong Classes

What is it about Nature that calls to our souls? Why do so many enlightened sages throughout time come from the mountains? Nature reflects back to us our inner stillness, wildness and true nature. Qigong, an ancient yet evolving Chinese form of breath, meditation and movement, provides tools to touch deeply into and receive the inner silence and alchemy of Nature. And it is from this inner silence that all life, creativity, aliveness, inspiration, understanding, wisdom, gratitude and Joy arise ~ naturally, without effort. In this session, we will gain simple yet powerful exercises to return to stillness and learn directly from one of our greatest bearers of Light, our Beloved Mother Earth. Sunday 3/14/21 from 10a-12p.
