Exchanging Qi with Nature and the Universe

A Five-session Exploration of our relationship with qi, Consciousness and the Living World

This is a course that combines foundational practices and theory of Zhineng Qigong. Each session will offer teaching and practice of methods for gathering, strengthening, and circulating internal qi as we prepare for the colder months ahead. Practices will include:

  • Lift Qi Up, Pour Qi Down — the foundational movement flow of Zhineng Qigong

  • Guided meditation

  • Conscious breathing

  • Toning

  • Basic healing techniques

  • Foundational theory of Qigong Science

A special part of the course will be guided solo time with nature, drawing both on ancient qigong practices and on my doctoral research into the human experience of nature. This is an opportunity not simply to practice qigong in nature, but to explore what happens when we consciously open ourselves to an exchange of qi with the living world around us.

We will practice outdoors as long as the weather allows, moving indoors when necessary. Everyone is welcome—from those who are completely new to qigong to experienced practitioners.

If you are interested in this class but need another time during the week, please email me with days and times you would be able to attend. If there is enough interest, I will offer the class on a weekday

Registration

Course Fee: $50 for the full five-session series. You may also attend single sessions for $15 each. Every session will be designed as a complete experience in itself, so you may participate even if you cannot attend the entire series.

If you previously purchased a class package and still have sessions remaining, you may use them for the remaining Qigong in Nature classes, the Winter Solstice gathering, or toward the five-session series. To apply your remaining sessions toward the full class series, simply email me with the number of sessions you have left and bring a check for the remaining balance.

If needed, you may request a reduction in the class fee by emailing patricia@mountain-qi.com.

Where: Old Stratton Park, located at 1819 W. Cheyenne Rd, just east of the Starsmore Discovery Center. We will meet outdoors as long as the weather allows. An alternate indoor space will be announced if there is inclement weather.
