Wednesday morning, December 21st @ 8 - 9:30am 2011
Free event....all are welcome!
You are invited to join together to practice Qi Gong and sit in meditation on the morning of the solstice.
Astronomically Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the shortening of nights and the lengthening of days, so this is the longest night of the year!
Solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). It is a potent time for quietude and reflection as well as celebration, as we transition into Winter and the gradual return of light!
This is a great opportunity to take some "TIME OUT" in this busy holiday season to support each other in sitting with vitality!
Approximate schedule:
Please arrive at 8am to set up for sitting.
We will start with 10 minutes Qi Gong
Then we will chant the Heart Sutra
1st round of sitting 15-20 minutes
followed by 20 minutes Qi Gong
2nd round of sitting 15-20 minutes
Afterwards tea & treats will be served and there will be time to hang out together.
All are welcome.... Please bring a Zafu / meditation cushion (if you have one)
There are plenty of sticky mats & blankets at studio for padding under sitting cushions
Chairs are available there if you want to use one
I will have extras cushions there if you don't have one
Please feel free to bring a friend or family member.....no experience is necessary
Give a reply to let me know if you will attend, so I have an approximate head count.
E-mail or call if you have any questions 206-706-0069
