Harvesting the Energy of Trees with Qigong

THE MAGIC OF THE FOREST
There is something silent, mystical, and magical about the forest. When we enter the woods and walk among trees, we enter another world—a place where we not only feel safe and comfortable, but also healed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Those giants that we walk among are powerhouses of life-supporting gifts.
Join certified qigong instructors John Platt, Mary Platt, and Cris Caivano for a program that invites you to explore ways to tap into this incredible power source.
Through qigong, mindfulness, and more, you will:
- Learn postures, breathwork, and other techniques in a Five Element qigong practice.
- Understand how the energy in specific trees can benefit different organs and emotions.
- Identify the right trees for greater energy, emotional balance, and inner peace.
- Breathe the air of trees—an ancient Taoist instruction.
Step into the forest and experience a world of beauty and inner peace.
