Last weekend I had the honor of teaching a Qigong workshop at our annual Wen Wu School retreat in the Redwood Grove in Ben Lomond in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I taught GRACE, aligning between Heaven and Earth, the 5 Element Tree Qigong and Dragontales Qigong. The response was very gratifying. Moving like trees in the Redwood Circle was beautiful and powerful. The photos are of the master teachers and participants. These are videos of me teaching the 5 Element Tree Qigong and demonstrating the 5 Element Qigong form. This fall I will be teaching the 5 Element Tree Qigong and 5 Elements at my Kaiser classes.
