In the summer months, a more rarefied, light form of energy, or qi, is believed to rise from the heart and awaken the energy of our spirit. This type of energy is known in Chinese medicine and Classical Chinese thinking as shen, sometimes described as consciousness, the light in the eyes, a spirit force animating our physical form.
This 2.5 hour workshop will explore teachings and practices aimed at understanding how shen relates to Fire and its associated season of summer. After a short talk, you will learn a series of gentle qigong and meditations, including crane forms as well as other Fire-related practices, to support your spirit as it begins to rise with the warm, calm ease of a steady heart.
All levels welcome. Options for seated practices will be shared.
Dana/Donations:
This workshop is offered based on dana. Dana is a Buddhist word and teaching that means generosity and support, and works on the idea of reciprocity. With my teachings, I will offer what I hope will best support, guide and nourish you in your practice. In exchange, you are invited to give an offering of dana that reflects the support, guidance and nourishment you feel you have received.
A suggested dana is £25-35, but please know that this is only a suggestion. If you are experiencing financial hardship, you are welcome to attend for less; likewise, if you have more financial means and the teachings have offered you something of value, you are welcome to offer more. I deeply appreciate your support, which allows me to continue offering my teachings in this way.
