Mondays at 4:30p PST - online Qigong classes

​

Informally join me in the following practices in collaboration with other artists:

• Silence on the Sevens - designed by Suki O'Kane - observe seven minutes of silence on the seventh of every month - this is not intended as a listening practice, although the mind tends to go there. See if you can just BE in the silence. 

• Void on The Zeros - linger at the end of your exhale for a brief moment for 10 breaths on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month, and then observe the effects before resuming life/breath-as-usual.

• The Daily Bell - designed by Brenda Hutchinson - ring a bell at sunrise and/or sunset, acknowledging that these are experiences we all share throughout the world, despite our many differences of belief, priority, privelege, and perspective
