Workshop Description
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Taoist alchemy and how it relates to Qigong, living in the “now” and inner peace.
Qigong and later Tai Chi were developed and refined carefully over thousands of years with the exact purpose of mindful evolution of body, mind, and spirit. Qigong translated into English means “energy work”.
You will learn a basic practice of Qigong and then take these principles to integrate them into turning any dance into a healing mindful movement. You will learn basic flow modes from different dance styles such as popping, liquid, house, and belly dance to name a few, to feel the energy in the body and let it guide you to balancing built-up stress and tension.
Presenter Bio
The Cozmic Wizard was born from the ashes of life’s harshest traumas. Originating from a young boy survivor who lost his voice of self before he can remember. When little help was found from western medicine the teenager began a search for healing in eastern medicine. This led to a journey of over 25 years of self-healing and exploration to understand and bring balance to a self who was brought into a tumultuous life. Pharmacology, therapy, acupuncture, massage, plant medicine, breath work, yoga, qigong… etc, it was tried. Through this path of deep introspection and integration of Western, Eastern, and Southern medicine it was finally possible to transform from a survivor to a thriver in life. Now a Biomedical engineer in training, Reiki level 2 in Usui Shiki Ryoho, a Healer Within and Level 1 Integral Qigong Practice Leader from the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) and guest instructor at The Dance Inn, the Cozmic Wizard is out on a mission to share his healing arts and creative expression, with other survivors of life's harshness, to empower them in a journey to connect with the guiding light of their higher-self. Through this alchemic process of transmutation: dark to light, pain to pleasure, chaos to harmony. The chains that once bound a soul in pain, can too, for them, be the alloy wigs that give flight.
