Summer Series, 2024
Six Mondays in the Summer Months, starting June 17 • 10:30am Pacific Time
Summertime is Amazing! And one simple way to fully enjoy the awesomeness of this time of year is to absorb and glow with the aliveness, beauty and magic of the Yang Qi of Summer. How do you do this? Practice Qigong! 🙂 Join my Women’s Nourishing Qigong summer series class and fill up on the goodness and glow of Summer!
This class will meet 6 times for the three summer months. We’ll draw on several practices, including learning a fun, relaxing Swinging Arms set, a Cleansing and Gathering practice we can easily use to fill ourselves with the vibrant Qi of summer’s beautiful, wild landscapes, a short set of flowing movements from the Hun Yuan Gong/Taiji system that wonderfully nourishes the deepest foundational layers of the body Qi, and more.
Class will be via Zoom on Monday mornings, 10:30-12:15p: June 17, June 24, July 8, July 15, Aug 5, and Aug 26. All sessions will be recorded and sent out by Wednesday of that week.

Glowing with the Yang Qi of Summer – Women’s Nourishing Qigong – Summer Series
Summer is AMAZING! I think of long days, wild berries, farmer markets and outdoor music gatherings, alpine meadow wanders, camping in cool, verdant forests, exploring new wild landscapes and filling myself with the thrill of being alive and the abundance of immense Beauty and Magic of our beloved Earth!! YAY!
And, with our changing world, summer time can also bring its own challenges with the danger of excessive heat, fire and smoke. Yet, part of developing and strengthening our own resilience, adaptability, wisdom and love in these changing and challenging times is to deeply connect with life, with nature, with our Mother Earth and to take in and celebrate the Joy and Beauty from the life and magic around us. One of my favorite and most powerful ways of doing this is through the practice and teachings of Qigong.
Qigong literally means the skill of cultivating vital life energy. Energy is also information, so as we absorb, gather, circulate and store this Qi that so abundantly exists in nature, we are simultaneously learning from and harmonizing with the greater wisdom of Life, of our natural world.
In summertime, the Yang Qi is at its peak and we see and experience this through the abundance of juicy berries, green, lush, verdant forests, vibrant flowers and the buzzing of bees and flutter of butterflies, the cascading of waterfalls, babbling of alpine meadow brooks and the stunning jagged peaks we can climb to and immerse ourselves in their glory in this short season. All of these places and life forms have their own unique Qi they radiate with abundance out to the life around them.
While we naturally absorb this Qi as we walk, wander and enjoy time in nature, with Qigong, we augment this process. We can cleanse our bodies, gather and absorb large amounts of Qi and refine the Qi for our health, healing and our own inner self development.
This summer I’m excited to offer this class designed to either begin or deepen your Qigong practice this summer. Called Glowing with the Yang Qi of Summer, as mentioned above, I’ll be sharing simple practices (including Swinging Arms, Cleansing and Gathering, Hun Yuan Gong, and Big Tree) that you can use through this time of adventure, exploration, outdoor play and nature wanderings to gather Qi from the Earth and Cosmos for your own glowing health, growth, transformation and joy. This gift for all!
I look forward to practicing with you!!
