Sheng Zhen Healing Qigong
A Practice of Returning to Wholeness

Tuesdays at 11:30 AM (By Invitation Only)

Sheng Zhen Healing Qigong is a meditative movement practice that invites you to return to your natural state — open, balanced, and deeply connected to life. Rooted in unconditional love and guided by simplicity, it is not merely a system of energy cultivation, but a path of awakening through the body.

Sheng Zhen offers a fluid and integrative framework for healing. It transcends the mechanical application of technique and enters the realm of inner transformation — where movement, intention, and awareness converge.

In this practice, we:

Reorganize the body’s energetic patterns through graceful, intentional movements
Regulate the nervous system and harmonize internal rhythms
Cultivate presence, emotional integration, and spiritual clarity
Allow healing to arise from stillness, rather than force
Classes are held in an intimate, focused setting to protect the depth of the field. Attendance is by invitation only, for those who feel called to deepen their inner work through embodied spiritual practice.

This is not about mastering a form.
It is about softening into the truth that you are already whole.

 

 

Sacred Circle Group Meditation

A Gathering for Inner Growth, Connection & Awakening

3rd Wednesday of the month 

Sacred Circle is a space where we come together in practice — to listen deeply, reflect openly, and grow in wisdom and presence. Rooted in the rhythms of nature and the traditions of mind-body medicine, this circle invites participants into a journey of conscious evolution.

Practitioners engage in various activities to deepen understanding, cultivate virtues, and access higher states of awareness. Through meditation, contemplation, Qigong, and authentic conversation, we explore the terrain of the inner world — not to escape life, but to meet it more fully.

Each gathering is a dynamic field of shared inquiry and stillness — a time to slow down, integrate, and remember what matters most.

 

Sacred Balance of Form and Flow

with Dr. Mark Romano, ND, and Marika Baxter PT

Saturday May 9th @3-4:30pm

A foundation for both healing and relationship is the ability to stay present while life moves through you. As the energy of spring continues to rise, we live at the threshold between grounding and growth, stability and change.

In this season, we’re invited into the earthly intelligence of the mother —
A holding that supports life without controlling it, that offers structure without rigidity and allows flow without losing connection.

Sacred Balance is an exploration of how your body learns to meet the movement of life by staying connected to the core of your being and the outer edges of your experience at the same time. 

This workshop offers a direct experience of balance as something that emerges—through movement, awareness, and relationship.

Weaving together Qigong, embodiment, breathwork, and connective tissue exploration, you’ll develop the capacity to:

• experience emotion without overwhelm
• maintain boundaries without rigidity
• restore nervous system regulation
• build fascial resilience and adaptability

Together, we cultivate a body that can stay responsive, fluid, and grounded—in flow with the movement of life, and steady in the stillness of its center. So that we can move with life and still remain rooted in ourselves.

Cost $55

 

Breathing with Trees Gathering

Breathing with Trees:
A Workshop for Healing, Presence & Belonging

Join us for an immersive experience that harmonizes body, mind, and nature — a space to reconnect with the living world and the deeper currents within yourself.

Through gentle, embodied practices, we will explore how the natural world can hold and help us move through grief, disconnection, and the longing to belong.

Guided Practices Include:
Qigong – Cultivate inner stillness, flow, and resilience
Forest Bathing – Let the forest receive you with its quiet presence
Proprioception – Refine your awareness through mindful movement
Grounding Exercises – Root into the support of Earth and breath

Honoring Eco-Grief with Compassion
With guidance from the work of Francis Weller, we’ll make space for grief — not as something to fix, but as something to tend.

Eco-grief, ancestral sorrow, personal loss — all are welcome as part of the sacred ecology of being human.

This is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember:
You are not alone. You are not separate. You are held.

Leave feeling grounded, open-hearted, and inspired, with practices you can bring into daily life.
