Ai-Qi Qong with Charles Colten: Explorations in "Take-Musu-Aiki"

  • Qi Center 26 West 8th Street (lower level) New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

Deeply grounded in the Mt. Emei lineage of Qi Gong, we will build bridges by incorporating relational principles and practices from Taiji push-hands and Aikido; exploring, researching, and playing as pathways to discovery and joy.

In this workshop we will begin with a cultivation of our earth/sky/dantien alignment as a foundation and then, from that “place,” we will explore inter-connectivity with others through a series of partner Qi-Qong practices; in stillness and in movement.

By going deeply into connection, we may find we can let go of ego-based agendas and enter a “time/place” where unification with earth, sky, and partner may lead to surprise and spontaneous co-creativity…and a delightful exploration of the “now” together.

Come with clothing that is comfortable to move in, open curiosity, and a willingness to engage in serious-play.

Mark your calendars for this event, share with others, and watch this space for logistical details, coming soon.
