Chinese Dragons are seen as symbols of power, strength & grace as well as powerful allies! Come join us this Year of the Green Dragon for a Spring Equinox celebration & immersion in Qigong & Dragon Energy!
In this workshop we will use qigong & yoga to open the body & move vital energy. Participants will be introduced to 2 Swimming Dragon forms. These powerful, ancient movements create flexibility,
strength, while releasing tension from the fascia. The serpentine movements open the body, stretch the spine & enhance vitality while releasing stagnation from the whole being.
 
In the morning session we will learn the wide stance Swimming Dragon series. In the afternoon we will practice the original Taoist classic 3 Circles Around the Moon. As well, participants will learn about the 3 dan tians and practice the Inner Aligning of these Elixer Fields.
The afternoon session will close with Taoist Meditation for the Spring Equinox, Greeting the Green Dragon. Bring an intention & wish! In this guided meditation we will connect with our Dragon Ally & the Equinox energy to help us manifest our dreams for 2024!
 
Participants can spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying traditional Chinese Spring activities! Relaxing in nature. Rewarding the Livestock (come pat & bless a pregnant goat!) And Flying a dragon kite!
For those who wish to stay, the evening festivities will include a Chinese themed pot luck & fire pit. The Light Center will provide a large pot of Chicken shitake mushroom soup. Please bring a dish to add to this meal.
