Thank you for today’s online practice with Bonnie, Katherine, Henny, Jasmine, and Juliet. People brought in themes of spaciousness and lusciousness in order to release stress, tension, and anxiety; being with such as connecting with grief, fea; listening to rhythm and pulses and connecting with the emptiness of the universe (the dao); translating this connection or dialogue to life such as relationships, workplaces and more. Much gratitude for practicing together and co-teaching/c-learning.

WHAT: 無極氣功 Wuji Primordial Qìgōng with Dr. Kathy Yep 5-week session
無極氣功 Wuji Primordial Qìgōng was taught to me by the late Dr. Bingkun Hu. I learned the strand developed by Zhang Sanfeng over 800 years ago. There are many variations depending on who is teaching and how it was passed down. I learned a Daoist Set that involves a set of moves involving standing and turning, circles and spirals, and two main sections related to earth and heaven respectively.

REFUND POLICY AND PARTICIPANT WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
Thank you for today’s online practice with Liz, Jasmine, and Debbie. Gratitude for yesterday’s practice with Dana, Molly, Joanne, and about 100 people in person at the Huntington Library.
Due to a schedule change, our next online practice will be Tuesday. May 19.
Today we set intentions for the practice. We practice for ourselves and all beings. I heard intentions like spaciousness, slowness, moving from the center, acceptance, genuine security, letting in and out.
What are your intentions for yourself and all beings?
