Yoga and Qi Gong RetreatsRejuvenate and refresh your sense of well-being by attending one or more of this series of one and two day retreats. Plus, you can extend your stay with some personal retreat time by arriving the day before, leaving the day after, or both! These programs are open to everyone. No prior experience needed to participate in any of our yoga or Qi Gong programs. MOVING IN HARMONY: Saturday, January 2, 2010 ~ 10 am to 4 pm Inspired by the practice of Yoga & Meditation, away from the busyness of our lives at home & the hectic pace many of us keep through the holidays, may this one-day mini-retreat be an opportunity to take some much-needed time (and rest!) apart from the pull of the outer world. And in the quiet space of our own INNER world, may we re-discover what it is that we intend to cultivate & how we intend to live our lives in the New Year. We shall use movement, meditation, silence, relaxation & breath as inspiration from which our intentions may arise & guide us well into the next year. Please join us as we welcome 2010 with joy & light. All are wholeheartedly invited! Register for this retreat
T'AI JI Monday, February 15-Tuesday, February 16, 2010 10-4 programs each day with a Monday evening program with one or more of Chungliang's senior students for those who stay onsite and pay for meals $285 pp - Full Program - Monday 10 am - Tuesday 4 pm, including lodging and 4 meals
This workshop will present one of the most creative and dynamic teachers of T'ai Ji. Master Teacher Chungliang Al Huang Master Huang has taught and given presentations and performances all over the world. He is also a well-known author of books on T'ai Ji and books on body/mind/spiritual integration. His organic style of T'ai Ji is immediately accessible to people of all ages and experience skills. He particularly welcomes beginners. His approach allows students to quickly experience the joys of Chi energy flow, along with the deeper sensation of stillness in motion. His workshops are inspirational. Through the use of movement, brush calligraphy, music, dance, poetry and story telling he inspires students. Fundamental for Master Huang is T'ai Ji movement with Ritual, Five Moving Forces and Circles. Come join Harmony Hill and Master Huang for two days of joyful learning! MOVING IN HARMONY: Saturday, September 18, 2010 ~ 10 am to 4 pm Using the wise and timeless teachings of the beloved Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, as our inspiration, we shall devote this day of practice to opening ourselves up, with compassion and kindness, to what is true in our lives at this time. We shall invite a quality of curiosity and self-inquiry into the day as we look deeply inward, guided by the practices and awareness that Pema offers in her beautiful book THE PLACES THAT SCARE YOU (which will be available in Harmony Hill's gift shop). Given the state of the world, the economy and our own private struggles, we can "become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let the circumstances of our lives soften us and make us kinder and more open", Pema writes. About this, we have a choice. In the context of our Yoga and Meditation practice (asana, breath, relaxation, seated and walking meditation), may we willingly look at the difficulties we face and may we choose softness over hardness, love over hate and fearlessness over fear. All levels of experience and practice are welcome. Register for this retreat
