Late Summer Qigong Community
According to the Chinese Medicine calendar, there is a 5th season between Summer and Fall called Late Summer. Late Summer is related to the element of Earth and is the time when the Earth yields its greatest harvest. Our bodies mirror this process through receiving and transforming nourishment through the Late Summer organs, the spleen and stomach. The Late Summer season is considered a time of dampness and transformation. When our Earth element is in balance we feel centered, stable, and grounded both physically and emotionally. When out of balance, we experience dampness as fatigue, feeling stuck, digestive upset, along with worry, anxiety, and rumination.

Community Art Project
What might emerge if we brought our imaginations together and created something beautiful as a community?
As part of our exploration of the spiritual power of Imagination, we invite you to participate in a special Community Art Project centered on the theme of Peace. A large outdoor canvas will be divided into individual sections, and each participant will have the opportunity to claim a space and express their unique vision of peace. Paint, color, symbols, words, patterns, or even mosaic tiles—there is no right or wrong way to contribute.

Whether it is self-criticism for not being stronger, or struggling with questions like “why me?,” resistance is an understandable response when times are hard. Unfortunately this resistance makes an already challenging time even harder. There is a different way!

Cultivate and Radiate Peace: A Monthy Community Qigong Gathering
Settle your nervous system, connect in community, and radiate peace from the inside out.
How do we meet a chaotic world? We start by finding solid ground within ourselves.
Join us for a monthly gathering to embody peace through Qigong—an ancient, gentle movement practice designed to clear stress and restore vitality. Through conscious breath, mindful intention, and slow, fluid movements, we will invite deep relaxation and harmony into every cell of our bodies. From this state of inner peace, we connect our hearts together. Flowing as a coherent community, we will radiate our shared love, compassion, and peace out to a world longing for healing.
