Ged Sumner who has been practicing and teaching Chi Kung for many years around the world is starting a series of Chi Kung workshops in Vancouver in March 2013. He is doing a free introductory workshop on Jan 27th at the YWCA on Beatty St. More info and register here.

The workshops in Chi Kung are an ongoing series that interested participants can enter at any point. The workshops can either be attended individually or as a whole series.

The overall intention of the workshops are to present Chi Kung as a way to open up to a deeper and richer connection to the life force within the human system and within Nature. In particular to listen and be aware of the subtle power of your health and become more aware of movements of Chi within your body and mind.

The workshops will teach the following skills:

• self reflection
• stability and groundedness
• stillness of mind and body
• sensitivity to Chi
• use of intention
• strength, stamina and flexibility
• synchronicity of movement
• understand and appreciate the body’s structure
• traditional chinese medical concepts
• taoist philosophy
