March 21, 2009, 11am-5pm: Taoist Medical Qigong for Women with Dr. David Garrett - More information and registration
You'll learn valuable Taoist Medical Qigong self-care methods and healing wisdom to assist your personal growth, and help create sustainable well-being. March 20 is the vernal equinox, one of two points in the year when the Yin darkness of night is in balance with the Yang light of day.
In nature, the cold of winter (Yin-Water) is moving toward the heat of summer (Yang-Fire). Earth is reawakening to the warm moist growing power of spring in abundance. In terms of Women's Inner Alchemy, this is a special time for women to be open, gather qi from nature, and receive a personal boost of aliveness.
David is a Doctor of Medical Qigong (DMQ) and Qigong master teacher with 28 years experience in Taoist Medicine.
March 27, 2009, 7-10pm: The Art and Practice of Peaceful Communication with Kim Weichel - More information and registration
The
art and practice of good communication affects our everyday life – how we
relate with others and how we are effective in our work and in our personal
lives. Practicing peaceful communication helps to reduce miscommunication and
misunderstanding which can often lead to conflict and breach of trust. In this
interactive and lively evening workshop, we will practice some key communication skills
that will be valuable for everyday living. Open to anyone who has ever had a
misunderstanding or who needs to communicate regularly.
Kim is
director of the
Institute for Peacebuilding, a UN advisor, an author and social
