Solala here to give you a little update on the spring Taiwan tour…

Are you interested in:

• Doing morning qigong in the park...
• Taking a long cable car into the mountains outside of Taipei where we can have tea in a teahouse with a pond for the floor, with swimming fishes (see photo)...
• Eating great Chinese food, including the best baozi (steamed buns with various fillings) I have ever had...
• Going to a performance of Chinese opera...
• Meeting with a Tea Master (Master Tsai Yizhe) and having a spiritual tea ceremony...
• Visiting the Sun Moon Lake and attending a performance by the local aboriginal people...
• Going Forest Bathing up to an ancient Daoist temple and having tea served to us by a local ta master...
• Visiting a world class art museum...
• Exploring a huge outdoor market filled with artists and artisans...
• Visiting Daoist and Buddhist temples...
• Visiting various teahouses, such as the historic Wisteria Teahouse
• and much much more!

I realize this is a very big deal to you all…some of you have been to China and some have not…the beauty of going to Taiwan is that it is much smaller than China and much easier to get around…the people are very friendly and there is so much to see and do in the short time we will have together… but we will also be practicing manzou, or going slowly…taking the time to really digest what it is we are seeing and doing, and eating! I have been going to China since 1993and was just in Taiwan this past May…I have good connections in Taiwan and have put together an exciting and enticing trip! Taiwan is a democratically run country and the vibe there is very sweet. We will be spending most of our time in Taipei, which is the capital of Taiwan, with a day trip by train to Yingge and a few nights at Sun Moon Lake (also by train). The trains are very fast and are a great way to get around.

Daisy Lee will share the changing face of Qigong and the dynamics that compelled her to create a program that more clearly addressed women's health and empowerment. Although Radiant Lotus Women's Qigong is drawn from ancient practices that have been in existence for centuries, bringing together Western understanding of energy concepts and Eastern philosophic thought may underscore why RLWQ has been well-received by thousands of women around the world. When the heartdantian is honored in a woman, she becomes more synchronized with the natural healing rhythm of the earth and the yin reflection of the moon. The sun's necessary warmth then allows for love and compassion to flow inwards and outwards.

Online registration coming soon, but in-person attendance is always recommended.   The Swings of Energy Gates Qigong is a simplified form of the original Qigong Swings process. The complete process includes about twenty types of swings that Daoist Qigong practitioners have used for millennia. Over time these practices were distilled into just three swings to create the optimal exercise for a short set. In this workshop, Bruce will be delving deeper into the Swings of Qigong.   The fundamental purpose of these exercises is not only to make the body looser but to maximize qi and blood flow increasing internal capacities and refining and enhancing the quality of the nervous system. Traditionally martial artists and qigong practitioners would practice swings to learn how to turn the waist properly for applications such as pushing hands and simultaneously build power, smoothness and Qi flow. Becoming proficient in the swings will improve all aspects of your martial arts practice.   Full course details and weekly structure here: Moving Qi Through the Body with the Swings of Qigong  - https://www.energyarts.com/event/moving-qi-through-the-body-with-the-swings-of-qigong/   Lessons will be communicated in the traditional way, by teaching what is determined to be of greatest value to the students in the room.

A Lifetime in the Making...   with Master Frantzis   To register and for the latest information about this event, please visit our website.   An immersive meditation retreat using the practices hidden within the Daodejing to bring profound change and growth in your life and entire being: a perfect event for anyone wanting to improve their mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being.   This event is a five-day intensive, with a 3 week Summer Package available. Online registration coming soon, but in-person attendance is always recommended.   Master Bruce Frantzis learned the Daodejing in Chinese for more than a decade, initially as part of his Taoist Priest training and completing it with his master, Liu Hung Chieh, in the traditional way: passed down orally from generation to generation for millennia. The words contained in the Daodejing are only the beginning, as it takes a much deeper and committed understanding as well as accumulated experience in particular meditation practices in order to fully embody and live the ideals and wisdom contained in the text. In this workshop, Master Frantzis will teach how to apply the principles of Daoist Meditation as expressed in the inner teachings of the Daodejing in daily life.   Master Frantzis has never before taught the Daoist meditation practices of the Daodejing as a formal event to this degree of depth, so it is a mystery to all of us what may unfold. This is a truly rare event to be a part of, and an absolute must for anyone dedicated to Daoist practices or philosophy interested in taking a more spiritual path through life: the road less traveled. It is suggested to familiarize yourself with the recent release Daodejing: The Oral Tradition to best prepare yourself for the teachings and transmissions during this event. This workshop will focus on the practical aspects of the Daodejing instead of the text itself.   Full course details and weekly structure here: The Daoist Meditation Practices of the Daodejing - https://www.energyarts.com/event/the-daoist-meditation-practices-of-the-daodejing/   Lessons will be communicated in the traditional way, by teaching what is determined to be of greatest value to the students in the room.
