Location: Unity Church of Dallas / Main Sanctuary - Saturday April 24th - 10 am to 12 noon

:: Blossom in the Spring: Awaken from the Stillness of Winter, Emerge with New Life ::

Associated with the element of Wood in Taoist medicine, Spring is a great time to cleanse, nourish and support the liver, an organ in our bodies with an enormous capacity for healing and regeneration. On an energetic level, our life force, insistent and tenacious, springs into action during this season of "emergenc-y." Like pale seedlings pushing through the winter-hardened earth, new aspects of ourselves burst forth from below the surface as feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams that have been gestating through the winter, are birthed and blossom in unexpected and potent ways.

The seasonal Qigong (Chi Kung) form, Blossom in the Spring, calms the liver, regulating our entire energetic system and providing serenity and ease during this galvanizing season. This beautiful sitting practice will

• Increase tranquility in the face of momentum

• Tranquilize and Replenish your Qi  (Life Force)

• Access Joy as a Fuel in even in challenging times

•  Transform Resistance into Useful Fuel

Location: Unity Church of Dallas / Fellowship Hall - Saturday April 24th - 2 to 5 pm

Regular Price $45.00 Multi-Workshop $40.00

:: The Way of Joy : Living in Flow with Applied Qigong - Sunday April 25th - 2 pm to 4 pm ::

Have you experienced moments when you feel like you are in the right place at the right time, where everything in your life seems to be flowing effortlessly? Do these experiences seem too few and far between, perhaps even accidental?

In this workshop, you will learn a graceful, powerful qigong form that increases your ability to live in a state of flow regardless of challenges that come your way. The “Universal Integration Form” is a liver tonifying form, that increases and enhances the distribution of qi throughout your body and into your life.

Aligning what Taoists refer to as the three realms of Heaven, Human and Earth, this form

• activates your Observer self, where you see the whole picture and gain perspective

• empowers you to express yourself with heart-felt authenticity

• strengthens your ability to create what you want in your life.

Along with working with the qigong form itself, this workshop will include other innovative approaches to explore the deeper meaning behind the movement so that it may become a transformative practice in your life.
