A friendly gathering that begins with a reading of Classical Chinese poetry and continues with a reading of a number of different translations of a single chapter of Laozi’s Daodejing. A section from the Liezi or the Zhuangzi often follows. The class finishes with a question-and-answer session and general discussion

We focus on relaxation exercises, an understanding of peng, liu, ji, and an, as well as an introduction to Chan Si Jin, (Chen style Silk Reeling). Occasionally we include qigong sets from various sources that boost energy, combat stress, strengthen the muscular core, and enhance flexibility.
