This is taught as a semi-annual offering as an introduction to the practice of qigong. However, both beginners and seasoned practitioners alike will benefit from the deep and transformational power of this practice.

This is an 8-Week course offered virtually on Zoom and in person at the beautiful and spacious Breathe Building in SE Portland.

In this class we will learn One Thousand Hands Buddha Qigong.

Qigong is the practice of working with life force energy known as qi. Practicing qigong is learning how to feel, circulate and generate this energy for the sake of healing both self and others. This particular form is centered around the healing and awakening of one’s heart wisdom. It is a deep and potent practice in cultivating compassion for self and all beings through reconnecting to our innate, embodied intelligence and the field of collective awareness.

The practice itself is a series of 14 meditative movements that serve as a gateway.

This practice comes from the lineage of Master Liu He, under whom I received my teaching certification.

Each class is 90 minutes and includes teachings on seasonal Daoist energetics, various self massage and warm up practices, mindful breathing techniques and the transformational practice of One Thousand Hands.

This is a favorite offering that many previous students sign up for multiple times.

Space for the in-person class at Breathe is limited.

The Chinese Lunar 宿 Xiù (Mansions, Lodges, Stations, etc.) are 28 constellations mapped out by the ancient Daoists, said to have originated around 10,000 years ago. The 28 Lunar Lodges Qigong form is a series of 28 movements meant to connect us to these constellations and the energies associated with each. Each constellation—like the western zodiac of the 12 signs—has its own significance and meaning. In this class we will be practicing the form, learning the original symbolism of each lodge and learning to apply them to our daily lives in order to bring ourselves more in sync with the orbit of the Moon—who according to the ancients, was more important than any of the other orbiting bodies due to its close vicinity and maternal, yin energy.

Students will be given the tools for creating a monthly lunar tracking system in order to learn how their individual experience is shaped by the orbit of the moon. This is meant to connect us to lunar cycles far beyond the phases of new and full. We will each learn the deep influence of this celestial mother on our day-to day experience of reality.

Like the Daoists, the Gnostics teach that the moon rules over the yin/physical aspects of our lives, with direct influence over our internal and external waters and emotions as well as the mechanics of our joints and tendons.

This Qigong practice and astrology system was taught to me by Master Zhongxian Wu of the Wu (shaman) lineage. The Wu were an ancient people of China who practiced and studied the energy of the earth and cosmos in order to understand and live according to these cycles and utilize them for health and healing.

This class will be offered both virtually and in-person!

Five Dragons is the first of the Mt. Emei school forms that I teach.

This form is full of movement, balance, strength training and powerful cultivation of qi—or life force energy. For this class we will introduce the traditional associations of the elemental forces of the universe as understood by the Daoist sages. This form is excellent for the dispersion of the anxious energy that becomes lodged in the body. We will be moving into springtime energy during the five weeks of this course and utilizing the new life force energy of this season to assist us in harmonizing, moving and circulating righteous qi.

This form is open to anyone without prerequisites. Though a slight qigong background is helpful it is not essential.

This course is from 3-5pm Pacific Time every Sunday from January 10th to February 7th.

Cost is $195 for registration after Dec. 31st and include 5 weeks of class plus one optional private 1 hour one-on-one session with me.

Classes will only be recorded with 24 hours notice of a missed class and available for one week after recording.

Looking forward to introducing you to the five dragons within <3
