​A MOVING BALANCE BETWEEN EARTH & HEAVENS

Simple movements and broadened attention enable our body to naturally flow between Earth and Heaven. Through our experience of approaching center, the mind opens and the Heart finds peace.

Like a musical instrument being tuned, our self returns to its original resonance, balance, vitality and clarity.

In this workshop, we will practice:
  • Verticality, standing, rooting and centering between Heavens and Earth
  • How to clean and purify body, mind with Healing Sounds
  • Techniques and meditations in order to Nourish Life, Yang Sheng​
And we will have a taste of Wuwei, acting without thinking.... with the practice of Spontaneous or Natural Qi Gong

About Qi Gong

Qi Gong  literally means life-energy cultivation. Qi Gong practice typically involves moving meditation, coordinating slow-flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and a calm meditative state of mind. 

Qi Gong is a way to keep a good health or to recover from an unbalanced state but it is much more.

​It is a way to find our own nature, our own quality, to be able to receive and share the gift of life.

​ It is a way to understand and feel the influences of cosmos, earth and heavens and to adjust our being to what is.

About the Teacher, Catherine Roy

Catherine Roy is a musician and medical Qi Gong practitioner and joins us from France. Here she describes her journey with Qi Gong practice:
"Throughout my life, two streams always guided and nourished me: music and internal energy art.

I was a musician and art performer when I met Chinese Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Qi Gong, Sifu Kar Fung Wu. I was touched by the depth and simplicity of her teachings that changed my life. I have been studying with her and dedicating myself to the practice for the past 8 years. 

I became more and more aware of the healing power of music. I started to use both Qi Gong, Chinese Medicine and my music experience to give music and energetics workshops and individual healing treatments.

In this wonderful journey, I had the chance to meet and receive direct transmission from great Masters from China, Master Tian Li Yang, Master Sun and Master Yuan Ling Tong. I share the treasures of these centuries-old traditions, inner work and meditations to nourish the organs, harmonizing our body-mind-spirit, rooting and entering postures, coming back to our real place of being, open Heart."
