Light of Hope

Saturday, May 23 | 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
Developed as a healing art, qigong is a gentle yet empowering movement practice that strengthens your vital energy (qi). Similar to tai chi, it is usually practiced slowly while standing, but because it does not involve a specific sequence of movements it is simpler to learn. No experience needed.
Following qigong practice, we will settle onto the floor to learn a few self-acupressure points. (A couple chairs will be available if needed.) The workshop will conclude with a brief meditation, either seated or supine, in which acupressure will be offered. Bring a mat or blanket if you have one, and wear loose clothing.
This workshop will be led by Michelle Morisi, DACM, a practitioner of Chinese medicine and certified qigong instructor. Learn more about Michelle at<a href="https://acupuncturebymichelle.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> acupuncturebymichelle.com</a>.
Advance registration is required. Learn more &amp; register here:<a href="https://www.acupuncturebymichelle.com/workshop" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> https://www.acupuncturebymichelle.com/workshop</a>.
